Less risk and better quality with an interim accounting manager.

More efficient routines and better control

Accounting, reporting, and processes stay stable and efficient. The consultant quickly gets up to speed with the business, spots areas for improvement, and puts actions in place to boost the quality and speed of accounting workflows.

Handling changes quickly and securely

Whether it's a system change, a reorganization, or an expansion, the interim manager keeps things running smoothly and guides the changes. Accounting keeps working without a hitch, while new implementations and adjustments are rolled out with a clear plan.

Minimizes risks and mistakes

We make sure you're compliant with all regulations and standards. Financial statements, tax declarations, and reports will be accurate and delivered on time. This means fewer errors, delays, and extra costs, and it boosts your credibility.

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.

What it takes to be an interim accounting manager

Tech know-how and quick adaptability

Solid expertise in accounting, financial statements, reporting, and regulations like K3 or IFRS. You'll need to be comfortable with financial and business systems, and able to quickly grasp existing processes, routines, and systems.

Operational efficiency and strong leadership

You'll be pragmatic and solution-oriented when ad hoc situations pop up. You'll prioritize, structure, and make decisions even under tight deadlines. Plus, you'll communicate clearly with the finance department and other parts of the business, keeping the team united through any changes.

Flexibility and sharp analytical skills

You'll adapt to the company culture and ways of working, staying steady during big changes like mergers or staff shifts. Careful analysis ensures accurate numbers and clear improvements. Once the assignment is done, you'll leave behind a well-documented and smoothly running finance system.
