From the people who build Sero
What we shipped, why we built it the way we did, and what we are working on next.
What’s next for Sero in 2027
Here is what we are working on as we head into 2027. Everything below is either rolling out now or planned. None of it comes with a promised date, because we would rather ship it than announce it twice.
Amazon sellers: one P&L instead of four tools
A typical Amazon seller runs a settlement-sync tool, a profit dashboard, an inventory planning spreadsheet and an accounting system. Each one has a different idea of what you made last month. There is a simpler way.
Moving off QuickBooks Desktop calmly
Many of the businesses we talk to have run on QuickBooks Desktop for a decade or more. They know it has to change, and they dread it. It does not have to be dramatic. Here is the calm version.
Inside the honesty ledger: how we write about our software
Business software marketing has a credibility problem. We keep a short set of rules for everything we publish about Sero. We call it the honesty ledger, and here is what is in it.
Canadian-built software and why it matters for compliance
A lot of business software sold in Canada was built for another country and adapted later. Sero is built in British Columbia, for Canadian and US businesses. Here is why that difference shows up in compliance.
The real cost of running four tools instead of one
A typical small business runs a POS, an accounting system, a payroll service and something for inventory or e-commerce. The subscriptions are the visible cost. The rest is hidden in time, errors and decisions made on stale numbers.
What restaurant owners ask us most about POS
We talk to restaurant owners every week, from single cafés to multi-location groups. The same questions come up again and again. Here are the most common ones and our straight answers.
Meet Maya: an AI employee that asks permission
Maya is an AI employee who lives inside SeroBooks. She knows your sales, stock, prices and money, and she drafts real work. She also never acts without your approval.
Introducing SeroPayroll: Canadian payroll for every province
SeroPayroll is payroll on its own: Canadian payroll for every province and territory, built in Canada, starting at $25 USD a month. Here is what it does, what it does not do yet, and why we released it.
Why we built three products on one platform
Sero started as a point of sale. Accounting and payroll followed because our customers kept retyping the same numbers into three systems. Here is how that happened and what it means for how we build.
