NORTHSYS BUSINESS / SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE

Run your business.
Keep it connected.

Our SaaS platform brings projects, time, purchasing, billing, and financial records into one workspace. Built by a small business, for small businesses in Canada and the US.

A mobile-ready subscription app. Core tools, optional modules, and pricing around your usage.

INSIDE NORTHSYS BUSINESS

Office, home, or on the move. Fully mobile ready.

Less chasing information.
More knowing where you stand.

When the work lives in one spreadsheet and the money lives in another, connecting the two takes time you don’t have.

Northsys Business keeps the supporting detail alongside the transaction. Follow a project from the first task to the final payment, or a purchase from the request to the accounting entry.

BUILT TO GO WITH YOU

Your business doesn’t
stay at a desk.

Northsys Business is fully mobile ready. Use the app on your phone, tablet, or computer, with your team’s connected records close at hand.

Plan the day in the office. Check a project between appointments. Keep the work moving wherever your business takes you.

01 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Connected tools.
A workflow that fits.

Start with the core platform. Add specialized workflows when your operation needs them.

Connect the work you do to the amount you bill.

For consultants and service companies, the details matter: who did the work, how long it took, what it cost, and what is still waiting to be invoiced.

OPTIONAL MINING & EXPLORATION MODULE

02 / THE CORE PLATFORM

The everyday tools.
Working together.

Owners, employees, managers, and accountants can work from connected records, with access appropriate to their responsibilities.

Projects, tasks & time

Keep tasks, checklists, time entries, notes, files, and linked financial records in one project workspace. See progress, recorded time, unbilled work, invoices, and purchases together.

Record time manually or with timers. Connect detailed work notes to a project or task, then use billable time in invoicing with safeguards against billing the same entry twice.

Quotes, invoices & client payments

Create branded quotes and invoices, convert approved business into invoice drafts, record partial payments, and track outstanding balances. Recurring billing supports repeat business, with configurable branding and document terms.

Keep customer credits, deposits, credit notes, and write-offs linked to their records. Authorized clients can view issued documents and payment history through the client portal.

Issued documents retain their saved details. Corrections and reversals remain traceable.

Purchasing, approvals & budgets

Connect purchase requests, named approvers, purchase orders, receiving, and supplier-bill matching. Include supplier details, account coding, and project or client information from the start.

Track budgets by GL account, project, or client for a defined period. See posted actual costs, submitted requests, and commitments before approving more spending.

Authorized budget exceptions require a recorded reason. Changes to a request or its financial exposure require renewed review.

Expenses, supplier bills & reimbursements

Organize supplier bills, direct purchases, and employee reimbursements with supporting records. Track unpaid balances and partial payments, and connect costs to projects.

Review incoming invoices through a supplier invoice inbox before creating and posting bills. Your team controls account coding, financial details, and tax treatment.

Canadian employee mileage claims capture trip details, distance, business purpose, and evidence, with supported-year rates, annual kilometre tiers, eligible territorial distances, and review controls.

Accounting, reconciliation & reports

Work with a general ledger, journals, accounts receivable and payable, profit and loss reporting, balance sheet, and trial balance information. Supporting documents stay linked, with accountant exports for review.

Bank statement CSV imports and transaction matching support reconciliation. CAD and USD transactions retain their document currency and explicitly recorded exchange rates.

Closed periods, recorded approvals, and traceable reversals help protect completed accounting work.

Tax reserves & cash planning

When a customer makes a partial or final invoice payment, the platform can suggest amounts to set aside for GST/HST, a corporate-tax reserve, and business savings. Your company chooses its reserve accounts and planning percentages.

Complete transfers through your bank, then review and confirm the actual amounts in Northsys. Adjustments require an explanation, and confirmation creates the corresponding accounting entries.

Northsys records confirmed movements; it does not move money between bank accounts. A planning reserve is separate from an actual tax liability.

Canadian tax review & supporting records

Contextual review prompts flag topics to consider when recording expenses, including meals, vehicles, equipment, prepayments, professional fees, and business-use evidence.

CRA-linked guidance, tax workpapers, and supporting records help prepare information for your accountant. Eligibility depends on the transaction and the business’s circumstances; the platform does not determine eligibility or file corporate tax returns.

Client support & shared queues

Manage client requests through shared queues with assignment, priority, status, and follow-up dates. Record internal notes and phone calls, and send email replies through configured support addresses.

Queue permissions keep conversations with the appropriate team. Client-linked requests give staff context alongside the company’s projects, sales, and financial records.

03 / OPTIONAL MINING & EXPLORATION MODULE

From the field
to the financial record.

Specialized workflows for mining and mineral exploration companies, connected to your existing projects, time, assets, purchases, and accounting.

Sites, claims & obligations

Organize sites and work areas. Track claim obligations, history, renewal evidence, and the records needed to understand what requires attention.

Equipment, shifts & production

Keep equipment readings, maintenance, shifts, and production records together. Estimated quantities stay distinct from verified quantities.

Costs & financial accountability

Allocate existing costs to sites, activities, work areas, and equipment without recording the expense twice. Accountant-reviewed accruals can address received goods still awaiting supplier invoices.

Initial workflows support placer and hard-rock configurations, with Yukon-focused claim and obligation guidance. Verified dates, evidence, and professional review remain essential. Production is not automatically treated as revenue, and exploration costs are not automatically capitalized.

04 / ACCESS, CONTROL & A CLEAR FIT

Clear responsibilities.
A record you can follow.

Connected information should still have boundaries. Give people the access their role requires and keep the history behind important changes.

  • Permissions that follow responsibilities

    Protected default roles and custom roles, with granular read, create, and edit permissions. Own-record and company-wide access are available where supported.

  • Separate company memberships

    Access to one business does not grant access to another. Employees and accounting staff work within their assigned company permissions.

  • Protected sign-in & attachments

    Passkey sign-in with email verification, permission-controlled document access, and encrypted stored attachments support the platform’s security design.

  • History behind the numbers

    Recorded approvals, supporting evidence, saved document details, and controlled reversals make it easier to review what happened and why.

Straight answers about the fit.

Northsys Business is strongest when you need operational work and financial records together. Bank reconciliation currently uses CSV imports. The QuickBooks integration is a beta chart-of-accounts import and mapping tool; it does not synchronize invoices, journals, receipts, or quotes.

The platform can record provider-verified payroll amounts; it does not calculate statutory deductions or produce payroll filings. Canadian tax and mileage workflows are specific to Canada. For US businesses, we’ll review your tax and reporting requirements with you and your accountant before recommending a setup.
