Track every asset.
Win back tax season.
A premium fixed-asset ledger that runs tax depreciation — CRA CCA or IRS MACRS — and your financial-reporting depreciation in parallel. Tax time, audits, disposals and lender reporting become a few clicks — not a lost weekend.
✔ Dual TAX + BOOK depreciation · ✔ T2 Schedule 8 / Form 4562 export · ✔ Audit-friendly exports in seconds
Everything your fixed-asset accounting needs.
From the first purchase to the final disposal — tracked, depreciated, reconciled and reported.
Asset tracking
Every truck, trailer, building, machine and computer in one register — with VIN decode, plates, insurance and preventive-maintenance reminders.
Review reports
Tax, financial, operational and audit reports — every number drillable down to the underlying asset, with customizable columns.
Tax vs Book
Run CRA Schedule II CCA or IRS MACRS — with §179 and bonus depreciation — beside your financial-reporting depreciation (ASPE / IFRS / US GAAP), with timing differences and deferred tax.
Audit-ready
Full audit trail, signed-off rate overrides, and clean UCC pool and MACRS basis balances — hand the auditor a tidy file and move on.
Disposals & buyouts
Sell, trade in, or buy out a lease — proceeds vs UCC (CA) or adjusted basis (US) give you recapture or terminal loss, booked the moment the asset leaves.
Integrations
QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Samsara, Geotab, DocuSign — plus ANY bank or credit card with a transactions API (Open Banking / Visa / Mastercard / Amex). Concierge-provisioned so your data just flows.
Two sets of books, reconciled automatically.
The CRA wants CCA; the IRS wants MACRS. Your financial statements want ASPE / IFRS / GAAP. Steer the Books keeps both schedules for every asset and shows you the timing difference and deferred-tax impact — no parallel spreadsheets, no reconciliation headaches.

What CRA CCA classes does Steer the Books support?+

Figures are computational estimates: your accountant and the CRA remain the authority on your filings.
