Who Zoho Books is for

Problems Zoho Books solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Nunavut.
Stock and sales that do not agree
If inventory sits in a separate sheet, margins are guesswork. Linked items give real cost and stock figures. In Nunavut, we usually start here before touching anything else.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. Businesses near Rankin Inlet tell us this is where time is lost.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Nunavut, books must reflect GST/HST, PST and QST and be ready for review by the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities. public services firms in Nunavut often ask us to check this first.
