Why bookkeepers switch

Compliance for every client, without the spreadsheet and the chasing.

Keeping dozens of clients on the right side of the CRA usually means a spreadsheet, a calendar, and a lot of follow-up emails. HappyBean replaces all three.

01

You see every client's deadline and status in one place.

The compliance dashboard shows who is in compliance, who is at risk and who is late, so the first thing you see each morning is what needs you today.

  • One view of every filing, by client and by period
  • HST / GST reminders ahead of every CRA deadline
  • A primary and a secondary contact on every client, so nothing stalls when someone is away

Your clients send documents and approvals themselves.

Each client gets a portal. You send a filing request, they upload what you need and approve the return, and every step is recorded against the period.

  • Filing requests and reminders go out by email
  • Clients upload documents and message you in one thread
  • Approvals and confirmations are kept, audit-ready, with the filing

Early adopters

Bookkeepers already run their client list on it.

The interactive dashboard and compliance tracking features of HappyBean perfectly aligns with how we currently manage our 40+ clients.

It's valuable that HappyBean is built by a bookkeeper for bookkeepers, rather than developed without that domain expertise.

The AI chatbot is great! It allows quick access to CRA tax information, rather than having to search the web.

Questions

Before you sign up.

Are any features locked to a higher plan?

No. Every firm gets every feature, whether you manage 3 clients or 300, and whether you choose the standard plan or the Founding Member offer.

What counts as a client?

Each business or individual you add to HappyBean to track filings and deadlines for counts as one client. On the standard plan each client is $10 per month.

Do I pay extra for my team?

No. Invite as many staff members as you need at no extra cost.

Who can become a Founding Member?

The Founding Member offer is exclusive to our first 50 customers. Only 50 Founding Memberships are available.

Can I cancel?

On the standard plan, yes. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. A Founding Membership is a one-time payment for five years, so there is no monthly billing to cancel.

Have every client's filing under control this month.

Create your account in under 5 minutes, or claim one of 50 Founding Memberships while they last.
