Why an Interim CFO is a smart move

Talent shortages pose a significant challenges for any organization, but it’s especially difficult in today’s highly competitive business landscape, where windows of opportunity constantly shift. If your CFO suddenly departs, a new opportunity presents itself, or a merger or acquisition is in the near future, does your current finacial team have the depth and experience to maintain a successful transition?

As you seek the perfect candidate, opportunities disappear and your financial team can start to suffer. With the trend of interim employment, however, corporate leadership is finding that high-level openings can be immediately filled by top finance talent while the search for a permanent hire continues.

The risk of not having much-needed expertise at a critical time is further compounded by the pressure to hire rapidly. But a “something is better than nothing” approach is dangerous―particularly at a senior level. An unsuccessful hire in the C-suite can cost a business many times the position’s annual salary. Rather than stalling or recruiting the first available candidate, our clients turn to interim talent to bridge expertise gaps and mitigate risk.

During a period of transition, Interim CFOs will ensure continuity, provide guidance, and provide expertise when analyzing potential opportunities. With a limited engagement, they are highly motivated to accomplish essential tasks and put effective processes in place quickly to reach their goals.
