Interim CFO Switzerland: finance leadership on demand
When your finance leader leaves or your business outgrows its processes, responsibilities need to be clear. As interim CFO, Manfred Schönberger takes on the agreed leadership tasks, from closing and cash planning to preparing management decisions.
When an interim head of finance helps
A vacancy, succession or major change can stretch a finance team beyond its capacity. An interim CFO combines day-to-day leadership with the development of workable processes. Scope, workload and duration follow your situation.
Finance leadership in daily operations
The scope may include leading the finance team, planning cash and earnings, and coordinating monthly and annual closing. Reporting and budgets give management a basis for identifying variances and deciding what to do next.
Vacancy cover or an ongoing fractional role
A vacancy assignment works towards handing over to the next finance leader. A fractional CFO supports management regularly at an agreed part-time capacity. We decide which model fits by reviewing your organisation and the tasks that currently remain unresolved.
Agreeing the assignment
The initial consultation covers your starting point, urgency and decision-making responsibilities. We then agree tasks, access rights and collaboration with your team. The assignment uses a flexible retainer based on effort. A Finance & Performance Check can provide the initial assessment.
Preparing the handover
The assignment should leave a finance function your team can run. Documented processes, understandable reports and clear ownership therefore form part of delivery. We agree which responsibilities return to your team and where further support is useful.
Questions about the assignment
Can the assignment be part-time?
Yes. Workload and duration are agreed around the tasks. Both temporary vacancy cover and an ongoing fractional assignment are possible.
