Expert assistance that makes the numbers speak for themselves

When financial statements are looming, a new ERP system needs to be implemented, or profitability is declining, you need an interim financial consultant who can step right in, close the books, and turn the numbers around. With in-depth accounting knowledge, sharp analysis, and a track record of delivering under time pressure, we ensure accurate reports, clear action plans, and improved margins—without lengthy ramp-up periods.

Here's how we stand out from the crowd

Personal recruitment partner – a single point of contact throughout the process

You’ll be assigned a dedicated advisor who understands your KPIs, system requirements, and cultural context. Our consulting manager is available around the clock until the right person is on board and throughout the entire assignment, which eliminates bottlenecks, misunderstandings, and time-consuming internal back-and-forth.

A network of 8,000 certified economists

We have categorized consultants by industry background, reporting standards (K3, IFRS, US GAAP), system proficiency, and leadership experience. That’s why we can recommend a group accountant to a publicly traded company, a business controller to a scale-up, or an accounting specialist to cover for sick leave without missing the mark.

Transparent pricing based on the 80/20 rule

We do not charge anything until the consultant is selected. 80% of the fee goes directly to the consultant, and 20% to us. There are no research fees and no hidden markups. This provides clarity in the budget and builds trust between the client, the consultant, and us as the intermediary.

Why choose us?

When companies grow rapidly, leadership needs can change overnight. An interim manager is a flexible solution that ensures operations continue to run smoothly, regardless of the challenges.

The Benefits of Hiring an Interim Financial Consultant

Smooth operation from the very first week

The consultant will immediately take charge of day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations, and reporting deadlines. This will ease the burden on your team, reduce stress levels, and help you maintain your credibility both internally and externally, even during busy periods.

Process improvements that save time and money

With a fresh perspective, the consultant identifies workflows, duplicate efforts, and system gaps. By automating report exports, implementing checklists, and streamlining approval workflows, resources are freed up that can instead be allocated to analysis and business development.

Decision support that drives profitability

Senior controllers and analysts translate the income statement into actionable insights. They build scenario models, KPI dashboards, and “what-if” analyses that allow management to see the impact of price adjustments, cost savings, or new business models before decisions are made.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.

1. Scope of Work & Objectives

We listen carefully to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A job description or job posting can serve as a basis, and we conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Search for candidates in the network

We select and contact approximately 20 suitable candidates. We conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we identify, based on the job description.

3. Quality Assurance

The top 3–4 candidates are presented to the client within 1–3 days. A follow-up meeting with the client is held to finalize the selection and plan the next steps.

4. Customer Interview – Background Check

The client conducts interviews, any tests they may require, and interviews with the candidate’s grandparents. References are checked as needed, and a background check may be conducted on the final candidate.

5. Contract

We draw up a contract specifying the duration and scope of the assignment, always with a transparent pricing structure so that both the client and the consultant know how the fee is allocated. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is dissatisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month’s notice.

6. Assignments are carried out

Throughout the project, we maintain regular contact with both the client and the consultant to address any questions or gather feedback necessary for a successful collaboration.

7. Conclusion – Potential Employment

The assignment is concluded as specified in the agreement; however, if the assignment was intended to lead to employment and both parties agree, it will result in a hiring. The recruitment fee decreases the longer the assignment has lasted.

Key qualities of an interim financial consultant

In-depth expertise + a bird's-eye view

A skilled financial consultant has a thorough understanding of laws, taxes, and regulations, but can also link the numbers to strategy and the market. This dual expertise ensures both compliance and that the finance function becomes a driver of the business, rather than a backward-looking reporting center.

Self-propelled and quick to shift into higher gears

The consultant logs into your financial system on day one, gets a handle on the chart of accounts on day two, and starts delivering improvements on day three. Their ability to prioritize effectively under time pressure ensures that deadlines are met without compromising quality.

A communicative bridge-builder in times of change

Financial terms must resonate with both the head of development and the sales team. Our consultants explain complex discrepancies in clear, accessible language, mentor junior staff, and aren’t afraid to challenge management when the numbers point in the wrong direction—all with the goal of leaving behind a stronger organization.
