For Canadian accounting firms
HR and payroll, built for the way your firm actually runs.
Full CRA payroll with the T4127 annualized bonus method. CPD hour tracking for every provincial CPA regulator. A daily compliance monitor that flags what's about to break. One tool, no spreadsheets, no US-shaped HR software.
Canadian-owned. Data stays in Canada. Built in Oakville, Ontario.
What it does
Three things a small Canadian firm actually needs from HR software.
01
CRA payroll, done
CPP, CPP2, EI, federal and provincial tax. T4127 annualized bonus method. T4 XML for CRA Internet File Transfer. ROE XML for Service Canada. CPA-005 direct deposit. All the accounting-firm-specific edges that a horizontal HR product glosses over.
02
CPD tracking that respects each regulator
A pre-loaded registry of 20 Canadian professional bodies (CPA per province, LSO, LSBC, PEO, EGBC, OAA, and more) with each regulator’s hour requirement and cycle length. Log an activity, watch the hours-in-cycle badge update, get flagged before someone falls behind.
03
Compliance monitor that runs every day
Nine ESA rules scanned across your workforce, every night. Minimum wage, vacation entitlement, SIN currency, document expiry. Anything that would trigger back-pay or a Ministry of Labour complaint shows up here first, on a Monday morning email if you want it.
The Canadian compliance year
Every Canadian deadline, already on the calendar.
CRA remittances, T4 season, EHT instalments, RRSP deadlines, and every federal and provincial statutory holiday. Surfaced on the dashboard the day they matter.

A CPA firm's Friday
Six pay structures. One pay run.
A fourteen-person Canadian accounting firm on a normal Friday. Six different compensation structures, each with its own CRA and provincial rule. Every generic payroll product handles two of them. Hibiscus HR handles all six.

The point isn't that Hibiscus supports partnership draws or the T4127 method or Regulation 102 elections. The point is that a generic SMB payroll product asks you to route those cases through spreadsheets and adjustments. Hibiscus routes them through the product.
