More efficient processes with an interim controller

Clear financial management

The Head of Controlling quickly gets up to speed on the assignment and establishes a structured financial management system. Areas for improvement are identified, and efficient processes are implemented. This leads to better cost control and more relevant decision-making data, which in turn impacts earnings and profitability.

Quick results when making changes

During reorganization or expansion, changes are implemented efficiently and systematically. Reporting and analysis continue uninterrupted so that management can steer the business throughout the process.

A better basis for decision-making

Reports and analyses are made clear and reliable. Management receives data that can be quickly utilized and that enables precise decision-making. The company is better equipped to achieve its short- and long-term goals.

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.

A Controller Manager who ensures quality and efficiency

Strong analytical skills and business acumen

Background in financial management, budgeting, and business analysis. Advanced proficiency in Excel, BI tools, and ERP systems. Ability to interpret financial data to inform strategic decisions and a deep understanding of key performance indicators, profitability, and cost control. Potential for improvement is identified and management processes are implemented during the assignment.

Operational Drive and Leadership in Times of Change

Improvement initiatives are driven with a focus on reporting quality. The consultant can navigate complex organizations, collaborate with managers in other functions, and clearly communicate financial insights. The controller team is guided through changes while maintaining performance levels.

Strategic flexibility and a focus on results

Short- and long-term goals remain a priority, and management processes are adapted as needed. Challenges are addressed proactively, and resources are utilized efficiently. This role often supports the CFO and senior management by providing detailed decision-making support, and leaves behind a well-structured controller function with clear processes and improved analytical tools.
