A partner in the CFO seat
One accountable person who works with the CEO and the board from the start, and leads your finance team for the length of the gap.
Interim CFO cover when your CFO leaves.
A senior Alehar team takes over your CFO's work and stays month to month until your new CFO starts.
Client situations
When companies call us.
- “Our CFO has handed in their notice, and the work cannot wait for a permanent hire.”
- “The board meets in three weeks to approve the budget, and our CFO left before it was built.”
- “Our controller runs a good close, and the banks and the board now need a counterpart at CFO level.”
- “We hired a new CFO six months ago. It didn't work out, and we're searching again.”
The work
What an interim CFO takes over.
For mid-sized companies, including family, private equity and group owned businesses, the work that can't wait for a permanent hire.
The budget and forecasts
Next year's budget and the rolling forecast, built and owned until the board approves them.
Decisions that need a CFO's view
Investment cases, pricing, hiring plans and spend, with the numbers behind each decision brought to the table.
Growth plans already in motion
New markets, sites or product lines that were under way when your CFO left keep moving.
The board
The finance voice in the room: the board pack, presenting the numbers and answering the questions.
Your banks
A senior counterpart for your lenders, and the cash position they will ask about.
Your finance team
A senior person for your controller and team to report to, so the team stays steady through the gap.
Who you work with
A senior team that moves fast.
Interim cover comes from Alehar's Corporate Finance as a Service team: a partner in the CFO seat, with a full team behind them.
A full team behind the partner
Analysts to executives, drawn from private equity, investment banking and strategy consulting. The work moves faster because it doesn't rest on one person.
Up to speed quickly
The team has stepped into finance functions across sectors and markets, and knows what to look at first.
Planned handover to your new CFO
When your new CFO is hired, we plan the handover with them and see it through, so nothing breaks in the move.
