The finance role is vacant.
The month-end close is not.

Typical triggers are vacancies, parental-leave and sick-leave cover, funding rounds, transactions and restructurings.

Corporates and large companies
In larger structures interim is rarely a stopgap but an instrument with a clear end date. Three triggers come up most often.
A vacancy in one entity
Until the internal successor is in place, the close, consolidation and reporting carry on regardless. A fixed-term appointment keeps that rhythm without a permanent position having to be created.
Transformation and carve-out
A system change, merging entities or carving out a division ties up the team on top of everything else. Interim capacity takes on either the project or the day-to-day work – whichever gap is larger.
Special projects with an end date
An audit issue, a bank negotiation, a new reporting requirement: time-limited tasks for which a permanent hire is not the right instrument.
Interim management process
Erstgespräch und Profile
At the beginning, we take the time to understand your specific needs and goals in detail in order to tailor the search for the ideal interim manager precisely to them. We then identify suitable candidates who fit your company both professionally and personally.
Auswahl und Vertrag
In this phase, we conduct a thorough review of potential candidates, including an assessment of their qualifications and previous successes. We then organise detailed interviews to ensure that the selected interim managers have the right skills and attitude.
Start, erste 30 Tage, Übergabe
After the interviews, you will make the final decision for the best candidate. As soon as the choice is made, all contract details are clarified and the contract is signed so that the interim manager can start working as quickly as possible.
