Most engagements do not start out of the blue, they start with a concrete trigger. For eight of them we have written down what needs doing, how long it takes, how much capacity is realistic and what it costs.
Building a finance function for a unit that has been separated out: opening balance sheet, clean separation from the seller, reporting from day one.
Merging two finance departments: chart of accounts, consolidation, one shared reporting format.
Getting the numbers ready for due diligence before the process starts: data room, quality of earnings, a forecast that holds up.
Securing liquidity, prioritising measures, communicating credibly with banks and shareholders.
Calculating the ratios from the loan agreement correctly, reporting them on time and spotting breaches early.
Setting up a rolling forecast that holds week after week, including plan-actual comparison and early warning.
From German GAAP to IFRS: measurement differences, opening balance sheet, notes and a team that can carry on alone afterwards.
Leading the finance side of a system change: data migration, account mapping, test close, go-live without a reporting gap.
Your trigger is not on the list? Most engagements can still be placed somewhere close by, so just get in touch. More on the service on Interim CFO, more on terms on pricing.
