Accounting software for freelancers

What freelancers get with Hengo

• Simple bookkeeping: Categorize income and expenses with AI-powered receipt parsing — snap a photo, and Hengo extracts the vendor, amount, and tax.
• Professional invoicing: Send branded invoices in CAD, USD, or CRC with automatic tax calculation. Track payments and send reminders.
• Automatic tax calculation: GST (5%), HST (13–15%), QST (9.975%), US state sales tax, or Costa Rican IVA (13%) — calculated automatically based on your province or country.
• Tax-ready reports: Generate a P&L and expense summary at year-end, ready for your tax return (T2, Schedule C, or Costa Rican renta).
• Bank reconciliation: Connect your bank account and reconcile transactions automatically.
• Mileage tracking: Track business mileage and calculate the deduction at the CRA or IRS rate.

How much does it cost?

The Starter plan at $19/month is designed for freelancers. It includes 500 transactions per month, 100 AI receipt parses, invoicing up to 25 per month, bank reconciliation, and all tax handling (GST/HST/QST/IVA). There are no per-user fees — invite your bookkeeper or accountant at no extra cost.

If you need unlimited transactions or project tracking, the Growth plan at $59/month is the next step. See all plans and pricing.

Why freelancers choose Hengo

Freelancers choose Hengo because it handles the boring stuff — tax calculation, receipt parsing, and report generation — so you can focus on your clients. You don't need to be an accountant to use it. And at $19/month, it costs less than one hour of a CPA's time.

Unlike free alternatives like Wave, Hengo includes multi-currency support (CAD/USD/CRC) on every plan. If you have clients in another country or travel between Canada, the US, and Costa Rica, Hengo handles the currency conversions and tax calculations automatically.
