Your bridge over financial bottlenecks

Interim Management at its best

Strong. Trusting. Collapse Proofed.

I Bridge

The temporary lane

The finances of your company are like the A100 in Berlin or the A3 near Cologne. Busy. Very challenging even during normal operation.

But what if part of your lane is missing? What if part of your roadway needs to be renewed or repaired and you don't have the capacity or the know-how to do it? What if you have taken over another company - or you have even been taken over yourself - and all of a sudden a whole new road network has to be designed and built as a result?

In all of these situations, you cannot afford to block the roads in your finances. You need a temporary lane that will allow you to continue driving. Sometimes you also need a temporary roadway, which acts as a temporary solution parallel to the new roadway and keeps traffic moving and avoids traffic jams. The temporary solution is always best for you when the temporary lane can be used at the end by simply sliding it parallel to the newly created paths and bridges and placing it on top. That is my goal as Interim Manager.

What I bridge

Vacancy

As an interim manager, I will bridge a vacancy in the first or second management level in finance. The bridge technology I use has been tested and approved over decades. You can rely on my bridge to stand firm even in stronger winds and not let you down.

In order to compensate for movements of forces that will affect our bridge construction, I bring enough transition constructions and suitable flexible bearings with me. In this way, the various forces that will act on our bridge are absorbed and cushioned in a swinging and sliding manner.

Expert Need

In finance departments, there are always topics and projects that require expert knowledge. You yourself will be measured in your function by the result. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you and your team don't have the know-how yourself at the moment or whether you can't fall back on your know-how due to a lack of capacity or overload.

During the digital transformation, I will support you in strategy development, designing your road map, coaching you, your colleagues and employees, and practical implementation.

I will help you to cover your need for know-how with a high level of technical expertise and decades of project experience. You will benefit from everything that I have experienced and seen in our field – finance – over the past three decades. And believe me, that's beyond imagination. From the small one-man business, the medium-sized family business, leading internationally active stock exchange companies to being part of the world's largest auditing company.

Merger Integration

Your company has bought another company. Or your company now has a new owner. Anyway. When choosing the word of the year, 'integration' will definitely be at the top of your list. And there is so much to do. From looking at the big picture and keeping it sharp, to having lots of one-on-one conversations with all sorts of people. People you know well, people who are new and people who now want to take a different path than you do.

If your company has a new owner and possibly also against an international background, many things in your area are often questioned, adjusted and, as we like to say, brought 'in line'. Here, too, it runs through again, from small branches to large trees. From charts of accounts that are to be imposed all at once, system integrations, new reporting structures that are to be implemented and filled with content as quickly as possible, through to daily coordination with the new colleagues in the parent company.

In all of these cases, as an interim manager, I will help you through the imponderables and provide you with active support. You benefit from all my decades of experience in this field. Whether national or international with, for example, companies in the USA, Malaysia, Japan, England, France or Italy. I have accompanied and implemented many of these processes. You can rely on me, my experience and my dealings with people in this turbulent situation.
