Accounting for Canadian IT professionals needs technical context
Teplov CPA was built around that context.
Why I built the practice this way
“The problems in contractor books are rarely just data-entry errors. They are assumptions that were never checked.”
After working with incorporated IT contractors, I noticed that most tax problems were caused months before year-end: a late GST registration, a salary decision made too late, an unresolved shareholder loan, PSB risk that was never assessed, or an instalment that was missed.
That is why the practice is designed around proactive compliance rather than reactive tax preparation. The Compliance Roadmap keeps bookkeeping, filings, deadlines and important decisions visible throughout the year, when there is still time to act.
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.
You’ll communicate directly with me. I remain your primary contact throughout the engagement, so you can bring questions, changes, and decisions to someone who understands your file.
