What is MapleExpense?

MapleExpense is receipt and expense software built in Canada for Canadian small and medium businesses. It turns the shoebox of receipts into clean, audit-ready books — with the tax math, account coding, and reports done for you.

What does MapleExpense do?

MapleExpense captures receipts, codes each expense to the right account, matches spending against your bank, tracks mileage, and produces tax-ready reports. It is designed around Canadian rules — GST, HST, PST, input tax credits, and GIFI — so your books are ready for the CRA, not just tidy on screen.

How does receipt capture and OCR work?

Snap a photo, drop in a PDF, or forward a receipt by email, and MapleExpense reads the vendor, date, total, and tax automatically — no manual data entry. Optical character recognition pulls the line items off the image, so each receipt is captured, sorted, and stored in a searchable archive on its own.

What is GIFI coding and why does it matter?

GIFI is the CRA's General Index of Financial Information — the standard account codes used on Canadian returns. MapleExpense maps every expense to the correct GIFI code as you go and exports a corporate T2 package. Filing season becomes a clean hand-off to your accountant instead of a last-minute scramble.

How does bank matching work?

Upload your bank or credit-card statements and MapleExpense brings the transactions in, then lines them up against your captured receipts. You see, in one place, which spending has a receipt and which is still missing one — so nothing slips through and your reconciliation is done before tax time.

Can MapleExpense track business mileage?

Yes. Log your trips and MapleExpense applies the current CRA per-kilometre rates automatically, keeping business and personal driving cleanly separated. The mileage log feeds straight into your reports and return, so motor-vehicle claims are documented and defensible if the CRA ever asks.

What reports does MapleExpense produce?

You get a profit-and-loss statement, a balance sheet, GST/HST and ITC summaries, and a GIFI-coded T2 export — all on demand. Reports are clean enough to hand straight to your bookkeeper or accountant, and every figure traces back to the original receipt in a one-click audit pack.

What is Penny, the MapleExpense assistant?

Penny is the built-in assistant that reviews your unconfirmed receipts, suggests the vendor, amount, and tax breakdown, and groups them for a fast review. Penny only suggests — nothing is recorded until you tap to confirm — so you keep full control while the busywork disappears.

Is MapleExpense a Canadian company?

Yes. MapleExpense is built and run in Canada by Joel & Nanz Inc., a New Brunswick company. It is designed around CRA rules, GST/HST/PST, and GIFI from the ground up, and your data is hosted in Canada. It is part of the broader MapleWorkSuite family of Canadian business tools.
