About
Tax software files your taxes.
We help you make the decisions around them.
Self-employment accounting is not a simplified version of corporate accounting. It requires specific knowledge of how your income is earned and the tax decisions that are only available before year-end.
Teplov CPA was built to serve contractors, brokers, consultants, and real estate professionals who need more than annual tax filing. The work involves understanding your income structure, your deductible expenses, and the planning decisions that reduce your tax bill legally and systematically.
Every file is handled 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.
What Teplov CPA does
Teplov CPA provides monthly bookkeeping, tax compliance, and tax planning for self-employed Canadians. Services are structured around three recurring needs: keeping the books organized, filing everything correctly, and making the decisions that reduce the amount owed.
Beyond the annual return, the practice addresses incorporation timing, GST/HST registration thresholds, quarterly instalments, home office and vehicle deductions, and the ongoing planning that most accountants only address once per year.

Industries we serve
IT Contractors and Tech Consultants
Project-based income, T4A slips, home office deductions, and the incorporation question that every contractor eventually faces. We understand the specific deductions available to technology professionals and the planning decisions that matter before incorporation.
Mortgage Brokers and Insurance Brokers
Commission income with irregular timing, brokerage fees and licensing costs, and the structure decisions around incorporation and HST registration. We handle the T2125 schedule and the ongoing compliance around variable income.
Trades Contractors
Materials, equipment, vehicle expenses, subcontractors, and the complexity of job-costing for personal tax purposes. We handle T2125 reporting for tradespeople and the HST obligations that come with crossing the registration threshold.
Real Estate Agents and Investors
