Automated CRA Balance Reconciliation
Every Monday, WebRun signs in to your CRA account on canada.ca, reads the balance and posted payments on each program account, compares them against the remittances recorded in your Notion ledger, and sends you a WhatsApp list of every difference it found.
How do I reconcile my CRA account balance against my own records?
WebRun signs in to your CRA account on canada.ca every Monday, reads the balance and posted payments on each program account, and compares them against the remittances in your Notion ledger. It sends you a WhatsApp list of every unmatched payment, so a missing remittance is found before it turns into interest.
- Unapplied payments are found in days rather than at year end
- Every program account is reconciled on the same weekly schedule
- Interest on a balance nobody knew about is avoided

Questions, answered
Will it pay CRA or change anything in the account?
No. WebRun reads your CRA account and reports what it sees. It never makes a payment, files a return, submits a form, or changes a single field, so the account is exactly as you left it.
What counts as a difference?
A payment in your books that CRA has not applied, a CRA line your books do not have, or a balance that does not match after both sides are totalled. Each one is listed with its date and amount.
Can it handle several program accounts?
Yes. Tell WebRun which program accounts to check, such as payroll, GST, or corporate income tax, and it reconciles each one separately so a difference is tied to the right account.
