The need

When Finance must keep delivering while the organisation is changing.

01Leadership transition. A CFO, Finance Director or Finance Manager leaves the organisation or becomes temporarily unavailable.
02Finance under pressure. Difficult closes, delayed reporting, limited visibility or overstretched teams require rapid stabilisation.
03Finance transformation. ERP, EPM, reporting, consolidation or operating-model changes require stronger Finance leadership.
04Critical programme. An important initiative lacks ownership, governance or coordination across Finance, Business and Technology.

Our role: secure what cannot fail, clarify priorities and keep transformation moving.

Ways we can support

Senior Finance leadership across critical Finance situations.

From temporary executive leadership to targeted ownership of reporting, performance or transformation priorities, BI ADVISORY adapts the mandate to the situation.

Interim CFO & Finance Director

Temporary executive or senior Finance leadership to maintain continuity, set priorities, lead the team and support management during a transition.

Finance Function Stabilisation

Restore control when closing, reporting, cash, controls or Finance operations are under pressure and require rapid senior ownership.

Reporting, Consolidation & Close Leadership

Lead or strengthen financial reporting, consolidation, group reporting and period-end close activities where quality, timing and governance are critical.

FP&A, Controlling & Performance

Strengthen forecasting, budgeting, performance analysis, management reporting and decision support for management.

Finance Transformation & Systems

Take Finance ownership of ERP, EPM, reporting, consolidation or automation initiatives, bridging business requirements and technology delivery.

Critical Programmes & Business Change

Lead Finance workstreams across acquisitions, integrations, reorganisations, carve-outs or other programmes requiring coordination across Finance, Business and Technology.

What BI ADVISORY brings

Finance leadership and execution in the same engagement.

Leadership & executionDirect ownership of agreed Finance priorities, with responsibility for moving them through to implementation.
Reporting & ConsolidationDeep experience in environments where the quality, reliability and timeliness of financial information are critical.
Finance & SystemsA combined view of processes, data, systems, organisation and governance.
Senior involvementDirect senior participation, limited organisational layers and clear communication with management.

Our principle

Take control. Restore visibility. Move the transformation forward.

An Interim Management engagement should do more than maintain the status quo. It should help the organisation continue to decide, deliver and progress throughout the transition.

How we work

A structured approach from stabilisation to transition.

1

Clarify

Critical deadlines, risks, responsibilities, management expectations and ongoing initiatives.

2

Prioritise

Separate what must be secured immediately, corrected quickly or transformed progressively.

3

Take ownership

Assume the agreed responsibilities and coordinate execution with the relevant teams.

4

Create visibility

Make performance, risks, decisions and dependencies clear to management.

5

Strengthen

Improve processes, controls, systems or ways of working where they create measurable value.

6

Transition

Prepare a structured handover to the permanent Finance organisation.

Finance first

Technology matters when it solves a real Finance problem.

ERP, EPM, automation, data and AI are increasingly part of the Finance function. The starting point remains the business need: what does Finance need to control, understand or deliver better?
