1I'm in Canada and need to pick some accounting software for myself, and also recommend it to others, from startups to small business / non profit groups.

3## Xero
4
5Xero is the software that I find most flexible to use. Multi-currency support starts at the [$75CAD/month tier](https://www.xero.com/ca/pricing-plans/).
6
7## Quickbooks
8
9Quickbooks is widely adopted and recommended by small business accountants. But, I find it extremely frustrating to use. Multi-currency support is in the [$65CAD/month tier](https://quickbooks.intuit.com/ca/pricing/).

11Note: Quickbooks doesn't support a direct connection to Stripe
12## Wave
13
14Wave is inexpensive -- free if you manually import bank statements. The paid tier is [$220CAD/year](https://www.waveapps.com/pricing) for automatic account imports and the ability to accept credit cards. It has very basic multi-currency support and it doesn't have supports for automatically pulling info from the accounts I need (Wise).
15
16[Wave Payroll](https://www.waveapps.com/payroll) is still my recommendation for easy to use payroll in Canada.

20Personally, for my sole proprietorship, I ended up picking Xero again, and got it hooked up to Wise and Stripe and RBC quickly.

22I did have to go look up how to set balances from the beginning of the year.

26I use [[Wave]] with [[Z-Space]], including Payroll, and it does what we need, including recurring invoices with credit card payments.
