About CHARITYacCOUNTS!

CHARITYacCOUNTS! is a dedicated financial management and digital accounting partner supporting stability and growth for some of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’s (GTHA) most impact-driven Social Purpose Organizations. We evolve our services through disciplined learning, continuous improvement, and close partnership with our clients - regularly assessing what works, what doesn’t, and where to raise the bar.

Our mission is to help purpose-led organizations manage resources sustainably. To do that, we’ve built deep expertise across fund accounting, corporate compliance, financial transparency, and data measurement, stewarding crucial funding and operational budgets for an expanding portfolio of social purpose organizations across Canada for over two decades. Our work spans grassroots startups, scaling organizations, and established community institutions.

The Role

Joining our Client Advisory Services team as a Fractional Director of Finance, you will partner directly with executive leaders and board members across the social purpose sector to ground, simplify and drive financial strategies that reflect their mission priorities. You will bring sharp technical accounting expertise, clear communication, data-driven financial judgment, and a patient, solutions-oriented mindset to every client account - owning core financial programs like effective budgeting, payroll validation, audit preparation, and fund tracking. This role offers the perfect balance of high-level advisory and hands-on operational leadership - allowing you to directly support, educate and empower purpose-led organizations while focusing your expertise on client success rather than administrative overhead.

Your focus of responsibilities will be:

Domain: Own the month-end and year-end financial reporting cycles from end to end. Prepare and review critical journal entries, including depreciation, deferred revenue, and adjusting entries. Oversee accurate revenue recognition, such as grants, and capital contributions. Leverage cloud-based accounting software to ensure clear financial transparency.

Guide clients smoothly through the annual external audit process and present financial information confidently to engaged Boards of Directors.

People: Guide, support, and mentor dedicated internal Bookkeepers within your portfolio. Review transactional data entry, accounts payable (A/P), and invoicing for accuracy. Provide proactive guidance on fund accounting rules and transactions to ensure all client ledgers remain clean and completely audit-ready.

Company: Bring precision, rigor, and compliance to client payroll processing . Identify opportunities to implement modern accounting tech and workflows. Champion consistent, objective decision-making standards that protect the financial health of our clients and the reputation of CHARITYacCOUNTS!.

In your first 30 days: You will get up to speed on CHARITYacCOUNTS! methodologies, standard non-profit and charitable accounting frameworks, and client cloud tools. You will establish relationships with your dedicated bookkeepers and the specific executive leaders in your portfolio while co-managing your first monthly cycles.

In your first 60 days: You will be fully owning your client portfolio end-to-end with high autonomy. You will confidently manage monthly reviews, validate payroll streams, oversee bookkeeper workflows, present financial updates directly to client boards, and anchor year-end audit preparations.
