Faster path from analysis to action

Reports that answer how and why

The business controller quickly produces clear analyses and reports that management can act on. Financial processes are understood in the right order so that the information is accurate and arrives on time. Decisions can then be made faster and with greater precision.

Increased profitability and efficiency

Opportunities for improvement are identified and financial management is tightened. Unnecessary costs are made visible, resources are used more intelligently and routines are streamlined. The effect is noticeable both in the short term and in the long term.

Fast and secure change management

In the case of new business areas, system changes or expansion, the controller is quickly integrated. Financial control and reporting are kept stable while the change is implemented. Operations continue without unnecessary interruptions.

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.

Skills that make decisions better

Business-driven analysis and strategic decision support

Strong analytical skills with understanding of business model and profitability drivers. Competence in financial modeling, KPI monitoring and scenario analysis. Numbers are translated into clear insights that support management decisions.

Operational drive and functional collaboration

Pragmatic in implementation and focused on change and process improvement. Collaboration with both finance and operations ensures relevant reports and follow-up. The role often acts as a bridge between finance and operations with clear communication of goals and outcomes.

Flexibility and business development perspective

The working method is adapted as needed and management receives decision-making information for both the short term and forward planning. The goal is to leave a more business-oriented controller function with improved analysis tools when the assignment is completed.
