Interim CFO and finance leadership
An experienced CFO when you need one: for a fixed term, part time or for a specific situation. The interim CFO owns reporting, forecasts, cash and banking relationships, and supports management through transactions and change.
What the interim CFO takes care of
- Management reporting. A monthly report and KPIs that show where profitability and cash are heading.
- Budget and forecasts. Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow forecasts that update with actuals.
- Cash and financing. Liquidity monitoring, bank negotiations and comparison of financing options.
- Year-end and audit. Leading the process together with the accounting firm and auditor.
- Board support. A clear picture of the situation and decision proposals for the board.
- Special situations. Acquisitions, funding rounds, profitability programmes and system changes.

Questions about interim CFOs
What is an interim CFO?
An interim CFO is a fixed-term or part-time finance director who carries out CFO duties without a permanent employment contract. The model suits transitions, growth phases and special situations such as acquisitions.
Does an interim CFO replace the accounting firm?
No. The accounting firm handles bookkeeping and payroll. The interim CFO makes sure the numbers turn into reporting, forecasts and decisions, and steers the cooperation with the accounting firm.
How much time does an interim CFO spend?
The workload is agreed according to need. A part-time model might be a few days a month, and in a special situation the workload can be higher for a period.
