Accounting for truck drivers and owner-operators
For company drivers and owner-operators. We claim every kilometre and meal you’re owed, keep your GST/HST straight, and file on time so you keep more of what you haul.
The headaches we take off your plate

Questions from your industry
Can I claim meals as a truck driver?
Yes, long-haul drivers can claim meal expenses, often using the simplified method and the TL2 form. We make sure your claim is maximised and defensible.
Should I incorporate as an owner-operator?
Once you’re netting more than you need to live on, incorporating can save tax and add protection. We’ll run the numbers for your situation.
Do I need to charge GST/HST?
Most owner-operators do once past the threshold, and you can claim input tax credits on fuel and repairs. We handle registration and filing.
