QBSE is being wound down in Canada and there is no Canadian replacement from Intuit. NorthOS now imports your QBSE data, connects to your bank, and maps everything to the CRA Form T2125. Built for Canadian sole proprietors, at $12 CAD per month.
QuickBooks Self-Employed is discontinued in Canada. Intuit removed the mobile app from the App Store and Google Play in 2024, stopped accepting new signups, and is no longer actively developing the product.
In the United States, Intuit replaced QBSE with QuickBooks Solopreneur. Solopreneur is US-only. It is built around US tax forms (Schedule C) and is not sold in Canada. Intuit Canada points former QBSE users to QuickBooks Online EasyStart, a small-business product at roughly $28 CAD per month.
You are switching either way. The only question is whether you move to software designed for a Canadian sole proprietor, or to a heavier product built for businesses with employees. For a full side-by-side, read our QuickBooks Self-Employed alternative for Canada comparison.
Log in to the web version of QBSE and download your transaction history as a CSV, plus your tax summary and profit-and-loss reports. Do this before your access closes, since the CRA expects you to keep records for six years. Our QuickBooks Self-Employed Canada exit manual covers exactly what to pull.
Upload your QBSE export to the NorthOS importer and your categories map straight to the Canadian T2125 lines. Want fresh transactions to flow in on their own? Connect your bank and credit card accounts and new activity lands in a review queue, with nothing posting to your books until you approve it. The QBSE to NorthOS migration guide walks through both paths.
Confirm your province and whether you are registered for GST/HST, and NorthOS organizes everything against the CRA Form T2125. You get a running income-tax estimate and sales-tax tracking, so when it is time to file, your numbers are already in the right place.
NorthOS now has the features you came to QBSE for, plus the Canadian tax handling QBSE never did well.
