Amazon and Shopify payouts. Books that finally reconcile.
Tax and bookkeeping for Canadian e-commerce sellers. We match every payout to its orders, fees and refunds, file your GST/HST where you are registered, and tell you what your US sales mean before you commit to anything.

Who this is for
If any of these is you, your sales have outgrown a bank feed.
- You sell on Amazon.com or Shopify to US buyers, get paid in USD and spend in CAD.
- Most of your customers are in the US and you do not know whether that creates a US filing.
- You opened a US LLC to sell into the US and you are unsure what it files, or where.
- Your sales are getting close to $30,000 CAD and you are not sure whether you need to register for GST/HST.
- Your Amazon.ca or Shopify payouts land in your bank as one lump, and your books are only a bank feed.
- A marketplace such as Amazon now reports your sales to CRA, and you want your return to line up with it.
Recognise yourself in one of these? Book the consult and we will tell you which books and filings your sales need, and what each one costs, before you commit to anything.

What changes a fee
Your fee is scoped and agreed in writing before we start. It moves for one reason only: the work moves. These are the things that change it.
- Order volume beyond the band we scope you into
- Each additional platform, payout account or currency to reconcile
- Additional entities, on either side of the border
- A US entity that needs filings in both countries
- Catch-up months before the engagement starts, quoted once, separately
- Additional filing years
Which seller are you?
Most sellers are one of these, and some are both. The consult confirms which parts apply to you.
Selling into the US, including Amazon.com
- USD payouts reconciled and reported in CAD
- Whether your US sales create a US filing, answered before you commit
- T1134 and Form 5472 when you sell through a US LLC
- A flag on where US state sales tax may apply, so you know to deal with it
Selling in Canada on Amazon.ca or Shopify
- GST/HST filed where you are registered, and whether you need to register
- What Amazon.ca charging GST/HST for you means if you are not registered
- Marketplace sales reporting to CRA, checked against your books
- A flag, not a filing, where provincial sales tax may apply
General information only. We confirm what applies to you on the consult.
Your Amazon deposit is not your revenue
One Amazon payout nets your sales against Amazon's fees, refunds, any reserve held back and the sales tax Amazon collected. A Shopify payout does the same with the tax you charged. Book the deposit as revenue and every one of those lines is off. Each month we split every payout back into its parts and post each one where it belongs.
Anything that changes the fee is agreed with you before the work happens. Never after.
Fixed fees
How seller bookkeeping is priced here
Every fee is fixed, quoted on the consult, and confirmed in writing before any work starts. Returns and US entity filings are scoped on the same call.

While we are in there
Books are usually where the reporting question surfaces.
Foreign accounts and foreign-held property show up in the ledger long before anyone asks about the filing that goes with them. If we see one, we will tell you.
If your business holds accounts or property outside the country you file in, FBAR or T1135 reporting may sit on top of the return. Two questions give you an indicative read.
