Welcome to Koru Accountancy Corp

Fractional Corporate Tax Leadership for Growing & Complex Businesses

When tax becomes more than compliance, businesses need leadership. Koru Accountancy provides senior tax expertise to guide strategy, strengthen operations, and support growth, transitions, and complexity.
Who we are

Tax leadership goes beyond filings and deadlines

As businesses grow, tax evolves into a strategic and operational priority. Transactional compliance alone is no longer enough.

Koru Accountancy delivers modern fractional corporate tax leadership, embedding executive-level expertise directly into your internal team to guide decision-making, strengthen processes, and bring stability to complex tax environments.

We don’t operate as an external vendor. We function as your fractional VP or Director of Tax, working within your workflows to ensure your tax function is built to scale, adapt, and perform with confidence.

Our Services

Fractional leadership at the core, supported by strategic advisory and execution.

Every engagement is anchored in senior-level tax leadership, with services designed to strengthen the entire corporate tax function, not just deliver compliance.

Ready to strengthen your corporate tax function?

Whether you’re navigating growth, facing leadership gaps, or managing increasing complexity, we provide the executive-level tax guidance your business needs to move forward with clarity and confidence. 

Who we Help

Strategic support for business growth

We support organizations that require executive-level tax leadership but don’t need or can’t justify a full-time VP or Director of Tax.
From growth and transitions to multi-entity complexity, we provide embedded leadership that strengthens tax operations from the inside.

Our clients often include high-growth organizations in technology, life sciences, and biotech, as well as other complex, multi-entity businesses navigating growth or transition.

Executive-Level Expertise On Demand
For companies that lack a VP or Director of Tax, we provide immediate senior tax leadership to establish clarity, structure, and oversight. We guide your tax function with proven executive capabilities—without the need for full-time headcount.
Organizations in Growth or Transition
Whether you're between hires, navigating PE-backed expansion, operating across multi-entity structures, or undergoing M&A, we deliver flexible leadership that keeps tax operations steady, compliant, and strategically aligned.
