Interim CFO: Financial Excellence for Healthcare Scale-up
The client, a healthcare scale-up, was faced with several challenges in its financial operations.
The client was struggling to maintain a healthy cashflow and lacked standardized financial reporting, making it difficult for the leadership team to access insights, identify revenue drivers and act on profit opportunities. The lack of financial transparency also negatively affected the client’s investor relations.
“We’re entering a phase of rapid growth, but our financial processes are still lagging behind. That’s why we wanted to bring in a financial veteran to help us get everything in order.” — CEO
The client wanted to bring in an interim CFO with a deep understanding of the healthcare sector and proven success in driving financial transformations for scale-ups.
Consultport proposed 2 strong candidates within 24 hours. The client interviewed both candidates and selected an ex-CFO with 10-year experience working in scale-ups and developing reports for investors. The interim CFO started working with the client team 72 hours after the initial request.
The interim CFO conducted a thorough inspection of financial statements, expense patterns and cashflow dynamics to understand past performance and current financial health of the scale-up.
Collaborating closely with other C-suite members, the interim CFO ensured the financial strategies were aligned with growth plans and R&D goals.
The implementation of the optimized financial reporting framework and budgeting process delivered tangible improvements in financial agility, transparency, and investor confidence.
