INTERIM ACCOUNTING

When an accounting team needs leadership at short notice or processes need restructuring, we take on responsibility within the team. We lead, stabilize, structure and keep developing.

Professionally and with line responsibility, even during ongoing transformation phases. With structures the team carries on independently.

Typical situations in accounting
Interim Accounting steps in when an accounting team is left without clear leadership, needs stabilizing during a transformation phase, or lacks processes and standards. With operational responsibility, not as outside consulting.

Typical triggers: a vacancy in accounting management, an ongoing transformation that needs stability and clear communication, a team without defined processes, or reporting and controls that need rebuilding.

Also professionally demanding: leading teams of up to 15 people across accounts receivable, accounts payable and specialist areas.
What we take over in accounting:
Professional and line leadership of accounting teams of up to 15 people, including through phases of change.
Stabilizing the team: clear leadership, structured communication and onboarding of new staff.
Analysis and restructuring of existing accounting processes in parallel with day-to-day operations.
Operational management of day-to-day business including invoice approvals, accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Monthly and annual financial statements under German GAAP (HGB) and IFRS, independently and with no ramp-up time.
Standing in for and relieving accounting management on cross-cutting topics and escalations.
