Propra

What Propra does

Propra Technologies Inc. is a Calgary, Canada-based SaaS company founded in 2021 that builds accounting-first property management software for the Canadian residential rental market. The platform is structured around a financial data model in which every operational event - a lease signing, a maintenance ticket, a payment - generates the corresponding accounting transaction automatically, as an alternative to the bolt-on accounting modules typical of legacy property management platforms. The cloud-based product includes native modules for property accounting (accounts payable, accounts receivable, trust workflows, GST/PST/HST handling), maintenance coordination, mobile move-in/move-out inspections, property operations, and resident and owner portals, with iOS and Android companion applications. Native Canadian regulatory logic - including provincial sales tax workflows, trust account segregation by owner and property, and compliance with provincial rental housing rules - is implemented as core platform code rather than as configurable add-ons.

The company is led by co-founders Al-Karim Khimji (CEO, with McKinsey and private equity background) and Craig Adam (CTO, with prior senior engineering leadership at SkipTheDishes and Shaw Communications). Its revenue model is recurring SaaS subscription, priced per portfolio, with a freemium self-serve onboarding motion combined with demo-driven enterprise sales. Geographic scope is Canada-only, with active coverage indicated across all ten provinces and membership in provincial landlord associations such as ARLA, RHPNS, and RHSK. Strategic ecosystem ties include flagship co-development with Harvest Builders and accelerator affiliations with 500 Global, Creative Destruction Lab, Plug and Play, GrowthX, Alberta Accelerator 500, and Calgary50, alongside non-dilutive participation in the REACH program in October 2023. Recognition includes a Forbes feature in 2021 and inclusion on 2026 Canadian fintech startup watch lists.
