The strongest fit is an incorporated Canadian seller with meaningful profit, inventory, and owner cash needs who wants decisions reviewed before year-end.
Your operation: An incorporated Amazon or Shopify business, often with inventory, other channels, processors, or currencies.
Your question: What should remain for tax and inventory, and how should owner payments be handled?
Your records: Xero or QuickBooks Online, or a file that needs cleanup before planning can be reliable.

The owner’s real question
A bank balance does not separate tax money, inventory commitments, platform timing, and owner cash. The accounting file has to make those claims visible before a planning decision is useful.
GST/HST, corporate tax, inventory orders, marketplace reserves, and owner payments compete for the same cash.
