Accounting that supports tax decisions during the year
CPA-led monthly accounting and tax planning for incorporated Canadian Amazon and Shopify owners who need to know what the business earns, what to reserve, and what they can take home.
Alex Teplov, CPA
Alex Teplov, CPA connects marketplace reconciliation and inventory accounting with Canadian corporate tax, owner compensation, and cash planning for established e-commerce businesses.
EcomCount is a specialized e-commerce accounting brand operated by Teplov CPA. Alexei Teplov, CPA, is registered with CPA Ontario and the Ordre des CPA du Québec. Accounting and tax services are delivered in accordance with applicable professional obligations and licensing requirements.
The work connects marketplace settlements, inventory records, sales-tax balances, corporate tax estimates, and owner decisions. Foreign tax and legal work is coordinated with qualified local professionals when required.
E-commerce accounting is not general accounting with a different client list. Marketplace operations create fee layers, payout timing gaps, tax collection complexities, inventory timing issues, and cross-border obligations that many standard firms are not structured to handle well.
EcomCount was built specifically for Canadian sellers operating on Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, Etsy, eBay, Kickstarter campaigns, Facebook and Instagram Shops, and mixed channel stacks. The work is organized around the way seller records are actually produced: settlement reports, payment processor exports, inventory movements, marketplace tax treatment, and multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction expansion.
The result is a practice designed for files that need current operating accounting and tax decisions before year-end. Monthly close, reconciliation, tax compliance, corporate tax estimates, owner planning, and expansion support sit inside the same view of the business.

See service structure →Who EcomCount serves
The practice is built for incorporated owners whose marketplace records, tax obligations, inventory timing, and personal cash decisions need one connected plan.
Canadian sellers expanding internationally
Multi-country growth creates U.S. nexus questions, EU or UK VAT filings, foreign-currency settlement issues, and marketplace reporting differences that need to be reflected correctly in the books before the business scales further.
Established Amazon and Shopify sellers
Inventory, multiple payment flows, and other supported channels need to reconcile to one Canadian accounting file in Xero or QuickBooks Online.
Owners making tax and cash decisions
Corporate tax, instalments, inventory commitments, salary, dividends, and shareholder withdrawals need current numbers before cash is moved.
Sellers changing firms or cleaning up history
Transition files often arrive with unclear tax treatment, incomplete reconciliations, overstated revenue, weak inventory support, or missed jurisdictional obligations that need review before recurring work begins.
