FINANCE LEADERSHIP

Companies call us when finance processes need restructuring, accounting teams need leadership, or an experienced senior leader is required who doesn't just take over operations but makes them permanently better, embeds them and keeps them running independently.

Operational depth is no compromise here, it is the advantage.
We know the reality inside the process and build better structures from it.

Typical situations for an interim finance mandate
Interim Finance Leadership closes the gap when finance or accounting needs leadership and delivery capacity at short notice. Not as outside consulting, but with operational responsibility within the team, from day one.

Typical triggers: an accounting vacancy or interim gap that must be filled quickly and without lengthy onboarding; a shared-services transition, ERP migration or system change where processes need stabilizing and restructuring; an accounting team without clear structures, standards or leadership.

Or when financial processes are opaque and reporting, cash-flow control and oversight need to be rebuilt, or harmonized across several entities.
Leadership and impact focus areas:
Leadership and development of finance and accounting teams of up to 15 people, professionally, with line responsibility and through phases of change.
Analysis, restructuring and lasting optimization of accounting and finance processes, from as-is analysis to embedded implementation.
Building reporting standards, best practices and process documentation that carry on after the mandate.
ERP process design in complex, multinational system landscapes: SAP FI/CO, SAP MM, VIM, S/4HANA, Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion, Navision D365, abas ERP, Datev.
Shared-services transition and process harmonization across multiple entities, countries and hubs.
Full operational competence as the foundation: accounts receivable, accounts payable, liquidity and cash reporting, monthly and annual financial statements under German GAAP (HGB) and IFRS, independently and with no ramp-up time.

Clarity in numbers. Structure in processes. Leadership with impact.
Loretta Schneiders brings over 15 years of experience in accounting, shared services and finance leadership, from mid-sized companies to multinational groups. Depending on the mandate she leads as a team lead, shapes as a process optimiser, or does both at once.

Operational depth is no compromise here, it is her advantage: she knows the reality inside the process from her own experience and builds better structures from it than someone who only looks from the outside.

What references consistently confirm: fast onboarding, measurable results, process improvements that last, and leadership that makes teams stronger. Communication in six languages and on equal footing with international teams, hubs and stakeholders.
