The benefits of an interim finance consultant

Smooth operations from day one

The consultant takes charge of ongoing bookkeeping, reconciliations, and reporting deadlines right away. Your team gets a break, stress levels go down, and you maintain external and internal credibility, even during busy periods.

Process improvements that save you time and money

With a fresh perspective, the consultant will map out workflows, identify duplicated work, and spot system gaps. By automating report exports, introducing checklists, and streamlining approval processes, resources are freed up to be used for analysis and business development instead.

Decision support that boosts profitability

Our senior controllers and analysts turn your income statement into actionable insights. They build scenario models, KPI dashboards, and 'what-if' analyses, helping management see the impact of price adjustments, cost savings, or new business models before making any decisions.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

5. Contract

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

6. Assignment Commences

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.

Key qualities of an interim finance consultant

Deep expertise + a helicopter view

A skilled finance consultant knows their way around laws, taxes, and regulations, but they can also connect the numbers to your overall strategy and the market. This dual expertise ensures both compliance and that your finance function becomes a real driver for the business, not just a backward-looking reporting hub.

Self-starter and quick to get up to speed

Our consultants log into your financial system on day one, understand your chart of accounts by day two, and start delivering improvements by day three. Their ability to prioritize effectively under pressure means deadlines are met without ever compromising quality.

A communicative bridge-builder during change

Financial terms need to be understood by both the development manager and the sales team. Our consultants explain complex discrepancies in plain language, coach junior staff, and aren't afraid to challenge management when the numbers aren't looking good – all with the goal of leaving your organization stronger than they found it.
