'Case Study: Interim CFO Solution for Global Investment Firm'
)
)
Knowing that a retained search could take up a large amount of that time, they needed a solution that would accommodate their timescales. After taking the time to understand their strategy, which would inevitably lead to organisational and cultural challenges, we advised that an interim CFO with a track record of working with established private equity firms and selling investments would be the most suitable option. They can be objective in their approach and focus on delivering. In addition, we suggested a 3 to 6 month interim to permanent solution should be considered if they wished for that individual to be permanently in place in preparation of the sale.
Less than two months into the role, a permanent contract was negotiated with the candidate and the Partners had their permanent CFO appointed. They are currently on track to sell their asset within the projected time frame.
