NeverØwe Viking emblem

Shield gives gig workers, contractors, and small crews real‑time forecast obligation and set‑aside targets.

Powered by the Cømpass Engine.

Why NeverØwe exists

I built NeverØwe after owing almost $80,000 to the CRA as a self‑employed contractor — not because I wasn’t earning, but because I didn’t have a real‑time snapshot of my forecast obligation.

Shield exists to make sure that never happens again — to me, or to anyone like me.

How it works

Clear outcomes, every payday

NeverØwe turns each deposit into a real‑time snapshot you can trust — what to keep, your recommended set‑aside, and what to hand to your accountant.

See your true take‑home

Each deposit is shown with a real‑time snapshot of what’s yours and your recommended set‑aside, so you can spend with confidence.

Example: $2,800 recorded → $860 recommended set‑aside

Know what to set aside (instantly)

Rules calculate income tax (federal + provincial), CPP, and GST collected (recommended set‑aside). GST charged on invoices is not income.

Example: $420 income tax + $300 CPP + $140 GST collected

Export clean records

Clean records your accountant can import with minimal cleanup.

Example: Accountant‑ready CSV

Example

Example: One payday, clearly mapped

Simple numbers to show how a single deposit turns into a clear real‑time snapshot.

Incoming deposit: $2,800
Income tax (estimate, fed + BC)$420
CPP (estimate)$300
GST collected (5%)$140
Total recommended set‑aside$860
Available for you$1,940

ITCs are applied at filing time and may reduce the final GST amount payable.

Export snapshot

Structured line items with category tags, dates, and allocation history.

Always traceable. No manual cleanup.

Why NeverØwe?

Stop guessing, start with a real‑time snapshot

Wave / QuickBooks Backward‑looking reports after the fact.
Great for bookkeeping, but no real‑time set‑aside targets.
Spreadsheets Manual, error‑prone, and rarely kept up‑to‑date.
Time gets burned reconciling instead of staying ahead.
Annual accountant Reactive check‑ins, usually after the damage.
Strong for filing, but not for weekly cash flow decisions.
NeverØwe Real‑time forecast obligation + set‑aside targets + clean records.
You get a real‑time snapshot and clear targets with clean records.
Forecast vs final

Forecast vs Final — clearly separated
