E-commerce

Running an e-commerce business is exciting and full of potential—but it can also be overwhelming, especially when it comes to managing your finances and taxes. At CoPilot Tax, we specialize in making accounting and tax services easy for Canadian e-commerce businesses. Whether you sell on Shopify, are a direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand, or run another type of online store, we’re here to make your life easier. We are your go-to e-commerce accountant, e-commerce CFO, and trusted partner to help your business grow smoothly.

CoPilot Tax: Simplifying E-Commerce Accounting

Why E-commerce Businesses Are Different

E-commerce businesses aren’t like traditional companies, and we get that. You’re working in a fast-moving world with constant changes—new products, online sales, managing inventory, shipping to customers all over the place. All of this requires a special approach to accounting and tax planning, which is exactly where we shine.

Did you know that e-commerce businesses have unique opportunities to save big on taxes? Most accountants miss these because they don’t understand e-commerce as we do. Here are a few ways we can help:

  • Intellectual Property: Your brand has value! Whether it’s your logo, product designs, or even your relationship with customers, all these things are intellectual property. We help you leverage these assets for tax savings.
  • Selling for Big Multiples: If you plan to sell your business one day, we make sure it’s structured to get the highest value—and that means preparing now to take advantage of tax strategies that maximize your profits.
  • Inventory and Product Costs: Inventory is one of the biggest challenges for e-commerce brands. We help you optimize inventory management, find tax deductions, and save on costs to boost your bottom line.

The CRA Is Watching E-commerce—We’ve Got You Covered

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is keeping a close eye on e-commerce businesses right now. Many business owners don’t realize they’re making small mistakes that could lead to costly audits. That’s why CoPilot Tax stays up to date with CRA rules and regulations that affect online businesses. In fact, we were even interviewed by CTV to talk about how the CRA is focusing on e-commerce companies. We know what the CRA is looking for, and we make sure you stay compliant while saving as much as possible.

More Than Just Accountants—We’re Your Growth Partners

When you work with CoPilot Tax, you’re not just getting an accountant. You’re getting a partner who’s invested in the growth of your business. We take care of all the financial stuff—accounting, bookkeeping, and tax planning—but we also go way beyond that. We’re here to help you understand your numbers and make smart decisions.

Here’s how we help your business grow:

  • Solving Inventory Issues: Struggling with too much or too little inventory? We help you strike the right balance. Having the right amount of stock means happier customers and fewer costs.
  • Finding Hidden Costs: There are always those sneaky costs that add up, like extra shipping fees, unoptimized advertising spending, or processing fees. We dig into your financials to uncover those hidden expenses and help you eliminate them.
  • Spotting Growth Opportunities: We analyze your data to identify trends. Maybe one product is selling faster than others, or perhaps a particular customer group is growing. We use this information to help you make decisions that fuel growth.
  • We Take Ownership: Our job doesn’t end at bookkeeping. We take full ownership of the financial health of your business. Whether it’s payroll, tracking expenses, or giving CFO-level advice on major decisions, we’ve got it covered so you can focus on your passion—building your brand.

How We Make Accounting Easy for E-commerce Owners

We get it—numbers aren’t for everyone. If you’d rather spend your time perfecting your products or running marketing campaigns, leave the financial stuff to us. We make accounting and tax simple. We explain everything in clear, easy-to-understand language, and we’re always here to answer questions, big or small.

Our goal is to help you:

Specialized for Shopify, DTC Brands, and More

If you sell on Shopify or through your own website, you already know how different online selling is compared to brick-and-mortar stores. The good news? We know that too. We specialize in Shopify accountants and DTC accounting, which means we understand the tools you’re using, the challenges you face, and how to get the most out of your e-commerce platform.
