More about the interim manager

The interim manager is a proven expert in corporate finance. As an interim CFO, he develops sustainable, tailor-made financing concepts that also hold up in crisis situations. One of his other key areas of expertise is switching companies to environmentally friendly production and leveraging the associated potential for the company's balance sheet.

The interim manager is highly experienced in quickly identifying and eliminating deficits in CFO management. In this way, he avoids financing risks that - especially in times of crisis - can jeopardize the continued existence of the company.

The interim manager combines extensive experience in accounting, treasury and risk management. He optimally coordinates the maturities of capital utilization (production and investments) and the origin of capital (on- and off-balance sheet financing). He finds and combines the types of financing whose costs are below the company's profitability.

By implementing such a customized capital management approach, he lays the foundation for crisis-resistant business success. The facets of the optimizations initiated by the interim manager include efficient controlling, improving treasury processes and increasing the company's earnings. Compared to the costs of the mandate, he has repeatedly realized savings of 1,000 percent.

As a direct result of his assignments, the return on equity increases. This approach also increases the perception and rating of the company on the capital market, which opens up capital for further growth at more attractive conditions.

Current developments that have a decisive influence on financial independence are addressed by the interim manager for the benefit of his client. One such key topic is the switch to environmentally friendly production (ESG). As part of his work, the interim manager combines the technical circumstances and the resulting investment requirements with the effects on the environmental balance sheet expected by the investors, thus ensuring the long-term financial viability of the company on the capital market.

The day-to-day work of the interim manager is characterized by creative and constructive target achievement within the set budget. Strong loyalty to the client (despite the limited assignment) and a sustainable transfer of expertise to the company are particularly important to him.

Since starting his interim role in 2011, the interim manager has successfully completed 15 mandates as interim CFO with assignment durations of between six and 18 months (remotely during the pandemic).
