An Interim Financial Controller operational within 72 hours
Delville Management deploys an experienced financial controller to make your figures reliable, secure your closings and maintain robust reporting, with a manager on assignment in less than a week.

The responsibilities of an Interim Financial Controller
The Interim Financial Controller ensures the reliability of the data used to run the company. Whether taking over a vacant position or standing in for an absent finance manager, they secure closings, structure reporting and strengthen internal control, in a context of growth, transformation or urgency.
Closings and reliable accounts
They oversee monthly and annual closings, make the accounts reliable and prepare exchanges with the statutory auditors to meet deadlines without compromising on quality.
Reporting and dashboards
The Interim Financial Controller builds or overhauls reliable reporting and clear indicators, tailored to the expectations of management, shareholders and the group.
Budget and variance tracking
They run the budget process, update forecasts and analyse the gaps between plan and actual to give management an immediate view of performance.

Internal control and compliance
They strengthen internal control procedures, secure financial flows and limit the risk of error, fraud or regulatory non-compliance.

Financial tools and processes
The Interim Financial Controller supports the rollout or migration of an ERP or BI tool and documents processes so that teams become more autonomous.

As soon as you express your need, we analyse your context and send you a selection of profiles within 72 hours. Each candidate is immediately available and chosen for their command of your situation: a close to secure, reporting to overhaul or a vacant position.
Our managers have worked in SMEs, mid-sized companies, listed groups and subsidiaries of international groups. They know the standards and reporting constraints specific to each environment.
The selected interim finance manager joins your teams in less than a week. They take over ongoing matters, secure the nearest deadline and stabilise the production of figures in the first weeks.
At the end of the assignment, they organise a complete handover: transfer of files, documentation of processes and tools, recommendations for the future. They can also support the arrival of your future permanent employee.
More than 15 years of experience in financial control, audit or financial management, within SMEs, mid-sized companies and international groups.
Our Interim Financial Controllers are selected for their rigour on closings, their command of ERP and reporting tools, and their ability to make figures reliable under time pressure.
Often former auditors or finance managers, they take up their role with immediate autonomy and know how to work alongside the CFO as well as the CEO.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Interim Financial Controller
What is an Interim Financial Controller?
An experienced interim manager who takes charge, for a defined period, of the reliability of the company's figures: closings, reporting, budget and internal control. They step in to replace an absent employee, absorb a peak in activity or lead a specific project, such as a reporting overhaul or an ERP change. At Delville Management, they are operational in less than a week and report directly to the CFO or senior management.
What assignments can you entrust to an interim finance manager?
The most common assignments are securing an annual close, taking over a vacant finance manager or financial controller position, overhauling group reporting and preparing for an audit. They are also called on during external growth, to integrate the figures of an acquired company, or when rolling out a new management tool. At Delville Management, each assignment starts with a scoping phase that sets the priorities and expected deliverables.
What is the difference between an Interim Financial Controller and an Interim CFO?
The Interim CFO runs the finance function as a whole: strategy, treasury, banking relationships, equity transactions. The Interim Financial Controller focuses on producing reliable figures that feed into those decisions. The two profiles are complementary: we deploy one or the other depending on the level of responsibility to be covered.
Interim Financial Controller or Interim Management Controller: which profile should you choose?
The Interim Management Controller is performance-oriented: budgets, margins, cost analysis. The Financial Controller covers a more accounting and regulatory scope: closings, consolidation, internal control, relations with statutory auditors. In practice, many assignments combine both; our Mission Directors help you define the right profile from the first conversation.
How long should an Interim Financial Controller assignment last?
An assignment generally lasts between 4 and 18 months. Securing a close or a short replacement takes a few months, while a reporting overhaul or an ERP project often extends beyond a year. At Delville Management, the duration is agreed contractually from the outset, with regular follow-up until handover.
How is the cost of an Interim Financial Controller assignment set?
The cost depends on the profile's experience, the complexity of the assignment, its duration and the environment: SME, mid-sized company or international group. It is expressed as a daily rate, without the payroll costs or delays of a permanent hire. Delville Management sends you a costed proposal after an initial scoping conversation, with no commitment.
