Jobber (Canadian-founded)
Field service software founded in Edmonton, sold in Canada with plans listed in US dollars
Market position
Jobber is field service management software for home and commercial service businesses, founded in 2011 in Edmonton by Sam Pillar and Forrest Zeisler. It is privately held; General Atlantic led its $100 million USD Series D in 2023. Jobber says more than 100,000 businesses and 400,000 service pros in over 50 industries and more than 70 countries use it, and its careers page lists office hubs in Edmonton, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Vancouver.
Canada-specific note
Jobber's help center says its pricing plans are listed in USD, and sales tax is added to the subscription when the billing address is in a province that taxes software as a service. For client invoices, Jobber lets you set up several tax rates and combine them into a tax group that shows each rate separately, so GST and PST can appear as separate lines, and a tax ID such as a GST number can print on every invoice. The Jobber pages we read do not advertise CAD pricing or French-language support.

Why this matters for Canada trades
Provinces and territories are responsible for apprenticeship training and trade certification; a Red Seal endorsement on a provincial or territorial certificate shows the holder passed the Red Seal exam but does not by itself certify anyone to carry on a trade. In Ontario, working in one of the 23 compulsory trades needs a valid Certificate of Qualification from Skilled Trades Ontario (or a provisional certificate or registered training agreement), only ESA-licensed contractors may do electrical work for hire, TSSA registers fuels contractors and certifies gas technicians, and WSIB says people who own or run a construction business must, with some exceptions, have WSIB coverage and register. The Canadian payroll tools listed here say they handle CRA remittances and Records of Employment; Quebec payroll adds Revenu Québec remittances, QPP, QPIP and RL-1 reporting, which not every tool covers.
Canadian trades vendor selection is shaped by provincial and territorial trade certification (with the interprovincial Red Seal endorsement), provincial safety regulators and workplace insurance boards such as Ontario’s ESA, TSSA and WSIB, CRA payroll remittances, GST, HST and PST (some provinces charge GST and PST separately), and separate Quebec payroll rules (Revenu Québec, QPP, QPIP). Several software vendors listed here publish prices in US dollars.
