Interim CFO and Commercial Management
Your strategic partner for financial and operational excellence
Strong leadership in transition and growth phases
As Interim CFO or Commercial Manager I have extensive experience in the strategic management of finance departments and in the operational implementation of commercial tasks. This role is essential when companies need support at the highest level during transition, crisis or growth phases. My aim is to ensure that your company is optimally aligned both financially and commercially by managing operational processes while keeping a firm eye on the long-term strategy.
When do you need an interim CFO?
A Interim CFO is the ideal solution if the company needs a strong financial leader in the short term, but no long-term appointment is possible or desired.
Typical areas of application:
- Vacancy in the CFO position: If a CFO leaves the company and the succession process continues, I take over the financial management and ensure continuity.
- Restructuring and crisis management: As a supplement to existing financial structures, I provide immediate relief and the right focus.
- Growth and expansion: I support M&A processes, integration tasks and growth-related challenges with my strategic expertise.
- Company under construction: Start-ups in particular do not need a full-time CFO. I act as a daily sparring partner in the area of finance and build sustainable structures.
Core tasks:
- Strategic financial planning: Development and implementation of long-term financial strategies that ensure the company's success.
- Budgeting and forecasting: Preparation of precise budgets and financial forecasts in order to clearly define financial targets and minimize risks.
- Crisis management and restructuring: Development and implementation of measures to overcome financial crises and stabilize the company in the long term.
- Risk management and compliance: Ensuring that regulatory requirements are met and financial risks are minimized.
- Process optimization and digitalization: Optimization of financial processes and implementation of modern technologies to increase efficiency and transparency.
The role of commercial management
In my function as Commercial Manager the focus is on operational management and the efficient administration of all commercial areas. My tasks include the implementation of strategies in the following areas FinanceHuman Resources, IT and Administration. I ensure smooth cooperation between the departments and coordinate the day-to-day operations.
Distinction between CFO and commercial management
CFO
- Strategic financial management: focus on the development and monitoring of the entire strategy relating to finance, HR, IT and structures.
- Reports to the management or the Management Board and has a significant influence on the company's overall strategy.
- Responsible for risk management, investor relations and capital procurement.
Commercial management
- Operational responsibility: Focus on the implementation of the financial and business strategy in the areas of accounting, controlling and IT.
- Takes on administrative tasks and ensures the operational implementation of measures defined by the CFO and management.
- Often reports directly to the CFO and supports the financial strategy at an operational level.
This clear demarcation between strategic responsibility of the CFO and the operational management by the commercial management enables me to work efficiently in both areas and ensure that all company processes are optimally coordinated.
I know both positions and can be deployed in your organization as you require. In each case, I understand the requirements of the other and ensure maximum results in every assignment.
