HOW WE CAN HELP

Finance leadership needs evolve with the company.

Growth, a change in finance leadership, a finance project, international expansion or post-acquisition integration can create a temporary need for additional finance leadership expertise and capacity. The need may be planned or arise at short notice.

Three ways Apaja can bring senior finance expertise into your company:

01

Interim Finance Director / CFO

An experienced finance leader for an agreed period

  • during a finance leadership transition, absence or recruitment process — when an experienced person is needed quickly to take responsibility
  • working as part of the company’s management and organisation in the agreed role and areas of responsibility
02

Finance leadership development and projects

An experienced finance leader to develop finance and take projects through to implementation.

  • as the business grows or changes, current finance practices no longer meet the company’s needs
  • an initiative has been identified, but there is not enough time, capacity or the required expertise to implement it
  • the aim is to build a practical model that the company’s own organisation can maintain and develop going forward
  • the work is carried out in close cooperation with the company’s own organisation and partners involved in the project

For example: reporting and closing · finance structures and processes · operating models and responsibilities · finance systems and data

03

International finance leadership

Experienced finance leadership for building, developing and integrating international finance operations.

  • a Finnish company operating or expanding abroad – or an international group operating or expanding in Finland
  • aligning finance structures, operating models and reporting as part of the group
  • aligning local requirements, taxation and finance systems with group practices
