Finance mandate field
Finance ad interim in Switzerland
We fill key finance roles on a temporary basis. CFO, controlling lead, project management or closing bridge, in the language and cadence of the board room.
Starting point
When the function has to hold now.
A gap in finance leadership hits the company at its most sensitive point: reporting, liquidity, banking relationships. We fill the role with a senior profile that holds the function from day one and reports with evidence rather than gloss.
Vacancy, transformation or critical project phase: we take on financial responsibility within a defined scope, lead the team through the closing or the project and hand over cleanly documented.
Mandate types
Four ways we fill finance on a temporary basis.
Mandate 02
Controlling lead
Building or stabilising the controlling function. Monthly and quarterly reporting, KPI architecture, forecasting discipline and cost transparency.
Mandate 03
Finance project management
ERP migration, reporting redesign, conversion to Swiss GAAP FER or IFRS, consolidation setup, carve-out and M&A integration. A clear mandate, a clean handover.
Mandate 04
Closing bridge
Monthly, quarterly or annual closing in a tense situation. We lead the team through the closing and hand over cleanly documented to the auditors.
Starting point
When a finance interim mandate makes sense
- The CFO or finance lead drops out and finding a successor is under way.
- An ERP migration or an accounting conversion needs experienced project leadership.
- A closing is due and the team is understaffed or unsure.
- Ahead of a transaction the finance function should be stabilised and made transparent.
Scope
What the mandate includes
- Financial responsibility within the agreed scope, from day one.
- Reporting in the cadence of the executive board and board of directors.
- Stabilisation of team, processes and data quality.
- A documented handover to the permanent successor or the auditors.
