Eight reasons, all of them shipped
The case for running your business on Sero, made with things that are in the products today.
1. Built for Canada, not localized to it
GST, HST, PST and QST decided per line by destination. Payroll for all 13 provinces and territories, each with its own vacation, holiday and overtime rules. Québec handled as its own regime, with QPP, QPIP and RL-1 slips. And for US businesses, sales tax with economic nexus watched in all 50 states, plus US payroll in SeroBooks Pro.
2. One company for the counter, the books and the pay run
Most businesses stitch a POS, an accounting package and a payroll service together from three vendors, then pay connectors to keep them talking. Sero builds all three, to the same standards, with one team answering for every one of them.
3. Prices on the page
SeroPOS from $29.99 a month, SeroBooks from $79.99 and SeroPayroll from $25, all published in US dollars with a 14-day free trial. No onboarding fees, and no sales call required to find out what something costs.
4. Apps for every device you already own
SeroPOS is in the Apple App Store, Google Play, the Microsoft Store and the Mac App Store. SeroBooks runs on Windows, macOS, Android and the web. SeroPayroll runs on Windows and the web.
5. Your hardware, your processor
Standard ESC/POS printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers. Card payments through Global Payments, Moneris, Gravity Payments, Stripe or PayPal. Nothing proprietary to buy, nothing to throw away if you change your mind.
6. Enterprise control at small-business prices
Server-enforced roles, approvals, an append-only audit trail, period locks and multi-location reporting are included, not reserved for an enterprise tier.
7. AI that asks permission
Maya answers questions about your own business and drafts the work — but every action waits for a person’s approval, is audited forever and can be stopped with one switch.
8. Honest about the limits
Every product page lists what the product does not do yet, right beside what it does. When something is rolling out, we say so. We would rather lose a sale than win one on a feature we have not built.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sero only for Canadian businesses?
No. Sero is built in Canada and covers every province and territory in depth, but SeroPOS is used internationally in 16 languages, and SeroBooks supports US businesses with state sales tax, nexus tracking and US payroll.
Is Sero a good fit for a small business?
Yes. Most Sero customers are small and mid-sized businesses. Plans start at $25 a month for payroll and $29.99 for point of sale, and each product can be used on its own.
