30-day free trial
The full software, not a cut-down version. Nobody has to approve your request: the form creates your accounting workspace on the spot and hands you your license key with the Windows installer.
- ✓ The Enterprise license, the $249-a-month one: all 94 modules, unlimited users
- ✓ GST (5%) and QST (9.975%) tax codes already set up in your workspace
- ✓ A separate database for your business, hosted in Quebec
- ✓ On day 30: a plan from $29 to $249 a month, per business, or nothing at all
Your workspace is ready.
Your license key
Sign-in email
Then, three steps:
- Install the software and open it.
- Sign in with your key, your email and your password.
- A setup assistant asks for your business profile (NEQ, GST, QST, address): it's what will appear on your invoices.
Your key and the download link are also in your inbox, in an email titled “Bienvenue chez Forge Tech Accounting” (in French for now). Not there? Check your spam folder, or write to me at [email protected].
How the free trial works
- 1
You fill in the form
Your company name, your name, your email and a password. Phone is optional.
- 2
Your workspace is created on the spot
A separate database for your business, GST and QST tax codes, and a starter chart of accounts that keeps taxes payable and taxes recoverable apart.
- 3
You install and sign in
You install the software on Windows and sign in with the key shown on screen, your email and your password. On first launch, a setup assistant asks for your business profile: NEQ, GST and QST numbers, address. That is what will appear on your invoices and quotes.
- 4
You have 30 days, everything is open
All 94 modules of the Enterprise license, with no user limit. The end date is shown when you sign up and written in your welcome email.
- 5
You continue, or not
To continue, you pick a plan, from $29 to $249 a month: that is the only point where payment comes up. Your trial then becomes your subscription: same workspace, same data, nothing to re-enter. A plan smaller than the trial closes the modules it doesn't include, without erasing what you entered in them, and any of them can come back à la carte for $24.99 a month. If you don't continue, your access closes on its own on day 30: no card on file, so no charge.
Example: what it costs afterwards
You have employees and want Quebec payroll: that's the Pro plan, at $99 a month. Paid monthly: 12 × $99 = $1,188 a year. Paid yearly: 2 months free, so 10 × $99 = $990. Run the numbers for your own plan on the Pricing page.
What's included
- ✓ Everything the paid plans contain: accounting, invoicing, Quebec payroll, CRM, projects, BI, and the rest.
- ✓ The industry modules too, such as restaurant (floor plan, orders by table), salon and spa (appointments, commissions), daycare (attendance, annual slip), medical clinic (visits, RAMQ or private revenue). They are in no other plan: the trial is the right time to see them.
- ✓ The software only: moving your data over and custom setup are not part of the trial.
“I run Forge Tech on my own, so I won't give you a staged demo: you get the version I sell, everything open. Run the test that matters. Enter a real invoice from your week and take it out of draft: the entry posts to the general ledger on its own, GST to account 2100, QST to 2200. Check it. I'd rather you judge me on that than on a promise.”
Guillaume Régimbald, founder, Quebec City
