Accounting for Canadian IT professionals needs technical context
Teplov CPA was built around that context.
Teplov CPA helps Canadian IT professionals with tax, bookkeeping, and compliance. Most clients are independent consultants, incorporated contractors, freelancers, and small technology businesses.
The work involves T4A slips, direct client invoices, U.S. income, GST/HST, incorporation decisions, shareholder compensation planning, and personal services business considerations, each with compliance and planning implications that a standard year-end review does not catch.
The decisions that affect a contractor's tax position are made during the year, not at filing time. Compensation structure, GST/HST registration, instalment planning, and personal services business exposure are live issues that need to be reviewed before year-end closes the options. A generic accountant who sees the file in April is working with decisions that were already made.
Every file is handled directly by Alex Teplov, CPA. There is no rotating staff, no junior bookkeeper signing off on your return, and no loss of context from year to year. You deal with the same person who understands your situation.
