Interim Manager from Denint Consulting

Via Denint Consulting I offer myself as an interim manager, with the CFO role as a starting point. That means filling temporary gaps in the organization, both planned and those which appears with short notice. It is important to be able to make a difference already from the start, and that is one of my skills because of my extensive experience from both employed manager roles as well as different interim manager roles. I will work and contribute based on the existing need that occurs, it can mean a CFO or a financial manager, but also a controller or accounting manager. The important part is that you can adapt to the required need and are able to, as soon as possible, deliver result. Interim Manager can also mean different type of special assignment, for example different valuations or investigations within the finance area or function closely connected to finance
