Solve360 is a web-based CRM, built by a small self-funded Calgary company called Norada. It's a terrific tool for managing your customer list and nurturing prospects. It's similar to Salesforce.com, except much less painful to use and without the features that only big companies need. 

Xero is a web-based accounting system, built by a much bigger New Zealand company. Generally, Xero does what QuickBooks does but in a more web-native fashion.
