What is GigBooks?

GigBooks is a privacy-first, AI-powered expense categorization tool built specifically for Canadian freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners.

What it does

You upload your bank or credit card statement PDF or a CSV of your transactions, and GigBooks automatically categorizes every transaction into the correct CRA T2125 expense category — the same categories your accountant uses when filing your taxes.

Why it exists

Most freelancers spend hours manually sorting through receipts and bank transactions at tax time. GigBooks reduces that to minutes. You upload, review the auto-categorization, correct anything it got wrong, and export a report your accountant can use directly.

Key features

• AI categorization — transactions are automatically sorted into CRA-compliant categories
• Privacy-first — your CSV transaction files and PDF bank statements are redacted and parsed in your browser. No sensitive data ever touches our servers
• Merchant memory — when you correct a categorization, GigBooks remembers for next time
• Receipt scanning — snap a photo of any receipt and AI extracts the merchant, amount, date, and CRA category automatically
• Multiple export formats — CSV, Excel (multi-tab with T2125 mapping), and PDF formats your accountant will love
• Home office calculator — calculate your home office deduction percentage
• Multi-year support — easily manage multiple fiscal years in one account for CRA recordkeeping compliance

Who it's for

• Freelancers and independent contractors
• Gig workers (Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, etc.)
• Film and TV crew (IATSE, DGC, ACTRA members)
• Small business owners filing T2125
