Track every asset.
Win back tax season.
A 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
Fixed-asset accounting, purchase to disposal.
Tracked, depreciated and reported in one ledger.
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). Set up for you by our ops team.
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 — without parallel spreadsheets.

Frequently asked questions.
What CRA CCA classes does Steer the Books support?+
All commonly-used CRA Capital Cost Allowance classes for fleets and equipment — including Class 10 (motor vehicles) and Class 16 (taxis, freight trucks, tractors) — plus classes covering buildings, computers, furniture and equipment, each modelled per CRA Schedule II rules.
Does Steer the Books support US companies?+
Yes. US companies get full IRS depreciation support — MACRS recovery classes with Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation, modelled for Form 4562 — running beside book depreciation, just as Canadian companies get CRA Schedule II CCA.
How does Steer the Books help with CRA compliance?+
Every asset is depreciated using half-year rule handling, UCC pool balances, and recapture/terminal-loss treatment on disposal, modelled on CRA Schedule II — with a full audit trail of every override so you can hand your accountant a clean, well-documented file.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks and Samsara?+
Yes. Steer the Books connects to QuickBooks, Xero and Sage for accounting sync, and to Samsara or Geotab for fleet/telematics data, plus any bank or card feed with a transactions API (Open Banking, Visa, Mastercard, Amex) for reconciliation.
How much does it cost?+
Plans start at $99.99 USD/month for small fleets, with Unlimited plans for growing operations — every plan includes dual TAX + BOOK depreciation, CRA Schedule II CCA / IRS MACRS and the full report suite. See our Pricing page for details.
Is our data secure?+
Data is hosted in the United States on Microsoft Azure (a Canadian hosting region is planned — Canadian companies' data will be migrated there automatically when it is live), encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and every account requires two-factor authentication. We never ask for your password or verification codes by email or phone.
CCA & MACRS depreciation software built for Canadian and US fleets.

As trucking accounting software, it keeps a single ledger for every truck, trailer, building and piece of equipment, with a full UCC schedule per CRA class or MACRS schedule per recovery class, audit-ready reports, and native integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Samsara and Geotab so your telematics and accounting data flow straight into your books.
