Settlement reconciliation
Tie gross activity, refunds, fees, tax, reserves, and settlement transfers to the accounting file and bank. Identify timing differences rather than recording each payout as sales.
Amazon accounting and tax planning
Know the Amazon profit. Plan the corporate tax and owner pay.
Monthly accounting and year-round tax planning for incorporated Canadian Amazon sellers. Connect orders, fees, refunds, reserves, inventory, corporate tax, and owner decisions in Xero or QuickBooks Online.
Who this is for
When your records need a more connected close
You sell on Amazon.ca, or on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com, and need more than a bank-feed view. Inventory movements, settlement deductions, multiple currencies, or other sales channels are making the monthly results hard to trust.
FBA costs and inventory
Connect supplier invoices, freight, duties, inventory movements, and COGS to the right period. Separate fees, storage, reimbursements, and stock adjustments using the available reports.
GST/HST and marketplace records
Review registration status, marketplace tax reports, and supporting invoices. GST/HST preparation and filing are included when required; provincial filings are separately scoped.
Corporate and owner tax planning
Estimate corporate tax and instalments, review owner withdrawals, and plan salary or dividend decisions using current results. The depth and frequency depend on the selected planning level.
What you receive
A defined accounting scope
Accounting Foundation provides the monthly close, settlement reconciliation, financial statements, and GST/HST preparation and filing when required. Owner Planning adds tax estimates, instalment tracking, owner compensation planning, and scheduled reviews. Strategic Advisory adds forecasts and scenario work.

Fees follow the actual file
Corporate and personal income-tax returns, payroll, provincial filings, and historical cleanup are separately priced. Foreign tax and legal advice is provided by qualified local professionals under a separately agreed scope.
Pricing is private. A fixed-fee proposal follows the review if there is a fit.
A clear first step
Begin with a fit conversation
Tell us what is changing in the business and where the tax or accounting uncertainty sits. No records or platform credentials are needed for the first inquiry.
- Initial conversation
- We respond within one business day to confirm whether the situation fits the practice. No records are required for the first conversation.
- Paid review, when useful
- After fit is confirmed, a fixed-fee E-commerce Owner Tax and Accounting Review can examine the reliability of the books, corporate tax outlook, owner transactions, sales-tax balances, inventory support, and decisions requiring action.
- Records and access
- Records are shared through a secure client portal. Read-only access is requested where available; do not send passwords or financial documents through the inquiry form.
- Written outcome
- The paid review produces written findings, priority actions, and a proposed ongoing scope when recurring support would be useful.
The review does not include bookkeeping repairs, filed returns, legal advice, foreign tax opinions, or an audit unless those services are expressly included in a separate engagement.
Discuss your tax and accounting positionCommon questions
Before you request a review
Can you support both Amazon.ca and Amazon.com?
Yes. The engagement can connect CAD and USD settlement activity to the Canadian books. Foreign tax exposure is identified and coordinated with qualified local professionals when advice outside Canada is required.
Does the monthly package include corporate income tax?
Corporate income-tax returns are a separately priced annual service. The proposal states the monthly accounting scope, GST/HST filing frequency, and any annual or additional work.
Do I need to switch accounting software?
EcomCount supports both Xero and QuickBooks Online. The paid E-commerce Owner Tax and Accounting Review considers the existing file and whether setup changes are needed before onboarding.
