Outsourcing · Interim solutions
When a key person is missing.
Illness, parental leave, a resignation or a busy period. We provide experienced finance professionals who can step in and deliver from the first week, at your office or remotely.
An empty chair in the finance function soon costs more than the person who should be sitting in it.
Who it is for
For businesses whose finance function cannot stand still: during absence, organisational change, or periods of extra pressure such as year-end closing, a system change or due diligence.
Our people are part of Summ. The whole firm stands behind them, so you get more than one person’s experience.

Questions.
How quickly can you provide someone?
Often at short notice. It depends on the role and scope, so get in touch early.
Does the interim professional work at our office?
As needed. On site, remotely or a combination.
What is the difference between interim and outsourcing?
An interim solution covers a role for a period. With outsourcing, we take over the tasks on a more permanent basis.
Can the interim solution become permanent?
Yes. Many keep some of the tasks with us afterwards.
What does an interim solution cost?
It depends on the role and duration. We agree the price with you before we begin.
