Interim CFO

A CFO in the seat until it is filled.

While you hire, an interim CFO keeps the month-end running, answers the bank and the auditor, and gets the function ready for the next finance head.

Led by Charif Takieddine. He has stepped in when a finance head left, and handed the seat on in better shape.

What keeps running

  • The month-end, and the pack you are used to.
  • Cash, week by week, and the payments that cannot wait.
  • The answers the bank, the auditor and the shareholders ask for.
  • The decisions that were waiting for the finance head.
  • If a deal is under way, its numbers and the other side’s questions.

Along the way

  • The handover from the finance head who is leaving, while they are still there.
  • The processes tightened, so the month-end runs whoever is in the seat.
  • Help building the team that follows, the next finance head first.
  • The handover to the new finance head.

How it runs

It runs month by month, until the new finance head is in place and the handover is done. At first the work takes as much time as the month needs, then less as it settles. The interim CFO is Charif Takieddine, or a CFO from our team who has worked in your industry and region, in companies or groups your size.
