What you can do
Less admin, more clients
Three results, seen on the real app below.
Fill your day without the back-and-forth
Clients book open slots themselves; a full group or a taken hour disappears at once.
Show every client the job was done
Check in, check out, a note and a photo: the report reaches the client the same minute.
Get your tax return prepared
Every invoice posts its GST and QST; Akinaza lays out your return's figures, with their sources. You file it.
How it works
Book, work, keep the books
One tool for the shop, the team and the clients, from the booking to the tax return.
The books keep themselves
Bilingual invoices, GST 5 % and QST 9.975 % to the cent, an append-only ledger, and the return prepared from it.
Prepared, never filed
The beaver builds the shop.
Side by side

What people ask us
Can I sign up?
Not yet: registration is closed while we build Akinaza with the first shops. Tell us how you work today.
Does Akinaza file my tax return?
No. Akinaza prepares your GST and QST amounts and their supporting documents; you sign and you file. Akinaza never submits a return.
Which shops is it for?
Service shops: dog walkers, groomers, salons, repairers. Not for restaurants and bars, which must invoice with a certified cash register.
Where are my clients' records?
In Canada, encrypted at rest. Consent is given per purpose and never pre-ticked; erasure keeps only the invoices the tax law requires.
Are the invoices bilingual?
Yes, in French and in English, with GST at 5 % and QST at 9.975 % computed to the cent.
Is there AI in this?
Its tax assistant will run on Orazaka, Krizaka's engine: planned, not wired yet. The tax amounts come from deterministic code.
