Interim Management

When a finance function loses its head mid-cycle, the next closing does not wait. I take over insurance finance functions with no learning phase: the vocabulary, the systems and the deadlines are already mine.

The problem

A vacant position in investment accounting, technical accounting or financial production puts the closing calendar at risk within weeks.

Generalist interim managers spend their first quarter learning insurance. That quarter is exactly what the organisation cannot afford.

What I deliver

Immediate takeover: closing continuity from the first month, production calendar held.
Team leadership: managing existing teams, stabilising, recruiting the permanent successor if needed.
Transformation in parallel: using the interim period to fix processes, controls and documentation.
Clean handover: documented processes and a successor who starts with a map.
