Most of your “staff” aren’t employees — they’re vendors you pay. Payla treats workers the way your books actually treat them. Pay them, book the jobs, send the invoices, file the T5018s and taxes, answer the phone. You do the work. Payla does the paperwork.
Today’s small business runs on a mix of employees, contractors, day-rate help, and one-off hires — and most of them are vendors on your books, not staff on a payroll. Payla treats all of that as first-class, not as an afterthought to a payroll product.
Every worker who isn’t on payroll is a vendor on your books. Pay them by e-Transfer, cheque, or direct deposit — track every job, every payment, every receipt. Auto-generate T5018 slips and CRA summaries at year-end. No spreadsheet, no shoebox.
Online booking page, drag-and-drop dispatch board, per-crew schedules, route-aware appointments. Send the right person to the right job with the right van — and a payment link.
A 24/7 AI receptionist that quotes services, books jobs, takes messages, captures leads, and texts the customer a payment link. Sounds human. Never sleeps. Costs less than a coffee a day.
Send a professional invoice in 20 seconds. Customer clicks, pays by card or Interac. Money in your account, GST/HST tracked, books updated. No double entry.
Snap a receipt, drop a bill, forward an email. Payla codes it, files it, schedules it. Pay your suppliers and credit cards from one queue.
For the workers who are actually employees: 4-step wizard, automatic CPP/CPP2/EI, fed + provincial tax, T4s and PD7A. Full payroll compliance — without forcing you into a payroll-first product when most of your team are vendors.
Every payment, sale, payroll run, and vendor cheque hits the books in real time. Bank feeds reconcile, GST/HST returns prepare themselves, and your accountant gets a clean export.
GST34, PD7A, T4, T4A, T5018, T2, CO-17, PST, QST. Generated, reviewed, e-filed. Not "here's a CSV for your accountant" — actually filed.
Touch-screen point-of-sale for retail, salons, restaurants. Rental tracking with availability, deposits, and damage waivers for equipment-rental businesses.
Lawyers, brokers, anyone who holds client money: full trust ledger, three-way reconciliation, audit-ready reports. Solo-firm friendly.
Photos of pay stubs, business cards, vendor lists, customer spreadsheets, voicemails. Payla pulls the data out and sets you up. No "starter project" busywork.
Run more than one side hustle? Switch between businesses with one login. Each business has its own books, taxes, team — and you keep one bird's-eye view.
Real shops running on Payla today — owner-operators, small crews, and solo pros who needed something modern, not another payroll spreadsheet.

Emergency calls answered by AI 24/7. Quote on the truck. Invoice from the driveway. Customer pays before you pull out — and the books are already updated.
Chair-rental stylists are vendors, your shampooist is staff. Bookings, POS, tips, and a clean split between T4 wages and T5018 vendor payments.
Time entries, matters, prebills, trust accounting, paid consult bookings, AI front desk that triages urgent calls. Run a boutique firm without a back office.
Availability calendar, deposits, damage waivers, delivery routing. The whole rental cycle — including paying the driver as a vendor — in one app.
Most operators are running on a Clover, a notebook, a Genius Scan folder, and a stressed-out spouse doing the books on Sunday night. Payla replaces all of that.
