About EcomCount
SKU-Level Margin Intelligence for Multi-Platform Operators
Marketplace accounting is fundamentally different from traditional retail. Amazon settlements don’t work like regular invoices. FBA inventory moves between fulfillment centers. Platform fees, advertising costs, and returns change your margins daily. Multi-state tax obligations, cross-border compliance, and multi-channel reconciliation create complexity traditional businesses don’t face.
This complexity requires specialized accounting expertise.
EcomCount works exclusively with e-commerce operators in the Canadian market. We serve Canadian sellers expanding internationally and international businesses establishing Canadian operations. We combine bookkeeping, tax compliance, and profit tracking built specifically for marketplace operations. We automate platform reconciliation, provide SKU-level margin visibility, and help you make confident growth decisions based on real profitability data.
We serve e-commerce operators across Canada, including Canadian sellers expanding to U.S. and EU markets and international businesses establishing Canadian market operations.
