Features

Tempo, four times a year.

Every feature has a moment when it earns its place. Here are four of them — a Monday morning, a mid-month receipt, a quarter-end deadline, and a year-end review.

Your weekend transactions, already on the right line.

You log in Monday morning. Sixty-three weekend transactions are already imported, classified, and split where HST applies. The four that need a second look are flagged at the top.

  • Bank sync via Plaid pulls transactions in real time across 12,000+ Canadian and US institutions.
  • AI classification matches each transaction against your chart of accounts using your past patterns as the training signal.
  • HST and GST split automatically into the correct liability accounts on every taxable transaction.

A photo, attached to its transaction. Six years of audit cover.

The $847.20 Home Depot transaction was already in your ledger. You attach a photo of the paper receipt — Tempo files it against that journal entry, and keeps it for the six years CRA can ask for it.

  • Upload any format — photo of paper receipt, PDF invoice, or scanned image.
  • Each receipt is linked to its specific journal entry, not a category — full traceability for audit.
  • Six-year retention from upload date matches CRA’s audit lookback window.

Q2 closes Friday. The remittance is already done.

Every transaction with a tax code split itself into net and HST as it posted. Your GST34 lines 101–113 are pre-calculated. You hit export, you file. No spreadsheet, no scramble.

  • Net amount and tax portion split into separate journal lines automatically as you post.
  • GST34 lines 101 (sales subject to HST), 105 (HST collected), 108 (input tax credits), 109 (net tax owing) computed live.
  • Export to PDF or CSV ready for direct CRA submission. Locked fiscal year prevents retroactive edits.

Ready for accountant

Scene 04 · December 31, 11 pm

A year reviewed in the time it takes to make tea.

Tempo's AI reads your full ledger and writes the year-end summary your accountant actually wants — observations, anomalies, suggested adjustments, and a checklist PDF. Ready before the kettle boils.

  • Identifies unusual patterns, classification anomalies, and missing receipts across the full year.
  • Drafts an Income Statement and Balance Sheet narrative in plain language for your accountant.
  • Exports a single PDF with checklist, observations, and supporting numbers.
