Job description

Reporting to : Director of Accounting (DoA)

  • The Fractional Controller manages 10–20 clients and ensures their Finance & Accounting functions run reliably, accurately, and with excellent customer experience. You’ll oversee delivery quality across bookkeeping, payroll , AP / AR, and monthly reporting, aligning each client’s systems with Transcounts’ tech stack and standards. A full support team (PL, PM, Payroll Manager, AP / AR) will work alongside you so you can stay focused on oversight, quality, insights, and communication.
  • As you grow in the role and consistently manage 20+ monthly clients while maintaining excellent delivery, NPS, and billing upsell metrics, you can progress into the Fractional CFO track. Experience working with eCommerce brands is a strong advantage.

  • Own the customer experience — removing friction, improving communication, and strengthening trust.
  • Prepare visual, customized reporting (including budgeting & forecasting) for each client and ensure consistent monthly delivery quality.
  • Ensure alignment between each client’s tech stack and the Transcounts standard stack, recommending improvements when beneficial.

  • Address delivery issues early and work cross-functionally to resolve client friction and data-gathering challenges.
  • Customer Experience & Delivery

  • Design and refine the client experience across bookkeeping , payroll, controller, and tax support.
  • Improve, documentation flow, and client communication channels.
  • Handle CRA / IRS / government reviews involving GST, PST, payroll tax, sales tax, corporate reviews, and USA-nexus obligations.
  • Maintain 100% compliance across GST / PST / HST, payroll filings, year-end support, and government deadlines.
  • Represent clients confidently in standard CRA / IRS reviews.
  • Manage external relationships for clients, including tax accountants, lawyers, consultants, CRA, IRS, and provincial / state authorities.
  • Manage payroll intake efficiency and process improvements; Payroll Manager owns full execution.
  • Own quality for all insights, financial visuals, and client-facing reporting.
  • Onboarding

  • Own the onboarding process for clients assigned to you, with PL support as needed.
  • Ensure the tech stack is configured correctly from day one and aligned with Transcounts standards.
  • Internal Rhythm
