The role of an Interim Manager in the finance sector

Thanks to the multiple experiences of our Interim Managers in the field of finance and investment funds, our interim management firm offers you an appropriate and effective solution for your business.

Our managers are able to manage all types of projects, such as putting in place the fundamentals of finance in the company, support the leader in the creation of a financial function following the acquisition of a stake in the capital by an investment fund… The corporate finance sector covers many professions. The financial, administrative and accounting directors are the main leaders. Their responsibilities are fundamental to the sustainability of the entity. However, certain periods in the life of the company require specific skills that the teams in place lack. Interim management in the finance sector is a timely option adapted to the current needs of companies.

The importance of the financial sector

The corporate finance sector is, along with public finance and private finance, one of the components of the financial sector as a whole. The main responsibilities of financial directors are to improve the company’s profitability by producing regular reports, analyzing internal and external data , participating in the definition of the group’s strategy and ensuring its application. The interim financial director is therefore the interlocutor of external players (the Public Treasury, lenders, investors, banks, etc.) and the first to be informed of the company manager’s decisions.

CFOs are generally confronted with problems that can be classified into three different categories : evaluating the interest of investments, looking for good investment formulas and guaranteeing the best return to shareholders.

The diversity of jobs in the finance sector

Depending on the size of the company , the financial director may have under his orders: the accounting department, the administrative department, the tax expert, the treasurer or even the human resources manager.

This accumulation of responsibilities indicates that a leader often considers his financial director as his main collaborator and the person in charge of the back office. As such, he is on the front line during the company’s major moments: the sale of a business unit, the acquisition of a competitor ( merger acquisition ), international development, a major investment, a IPO, closing a site…

The Transition Manager to fill a gap

The complexity of these projects requires real knowledge based on a maximum level of studies and successful experiences in a particular field. The nature of these projects also means that the work is done within a limited time frame. Interim management provides a perfect answer to this request. Transition Managers in the financial sector are managers adept in managing specific stages of the company’s strategy. In general, they intervene in the life of a company for 6 to 18 months. Once the objective of their mission has been achieved, they leave for other horizons and a new adventure.
