Overview

Interim finance leadership doesn't have to sit on site. We work remotely for companies in the DACH region, independently, reliably and with a high level of commitment.

On-site presence is possible and lived practice.
That's how we combine remote efficiency with closeness when it counts.

Situations

Remote leadership that holds up in practice

Interim finance remote is proven: a large share of our mandates have been run mostly remote and hybrid, with full operational responsibility and no friction losses. The location on Lanzarote is no obstacle, it enables flexible collaboration across borders.
‍
Particularly suitable when: the role doesn't necessarily have to be filled on site, international teams and hubs need coordinating, the cost of an on-site hire should be avoided, or experienced finance leadership is needed at short notice.
‍
On-site presence is possible by arrangement and lived practice, most recently around 25 percent on-site on a mandate in Frankfurt.

Why the model works

01

Remote and hybrid mandates with full operational responsibility, independent and with a high level of commitment.

02

Collaboration with international teams, global business centers and group structures across countries and hubs.

03

Communication in six languages, on equal footing with international stakeholders.

04

Based in Spain (Lanzarote) with close ties to the DACH region.

05

Regular on-site presence possible and lived practice, depending on the mandate.

06

Full range: accounting, accounts payable, reporting, closing support and process optimization.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: Interim Finance Remote for DACH

How does remote interim finance leadership work in practice?

With clear routines: regular check-ins with the team and management, unambiguous responsibilities and working directly in the company’s own systems. Loretta Schneiders has run most of her mandates largely remotely or hybrid; at Wabtec, for example, she worked fully remotely for three group companies over several years, with full operational responsibility.

Which finance tasks suit remote work, and when does being on site make sense?

Payables, receivables, payment runs, support with closing work, reporting and process documentation can be handled well remotely. Being on site pays off above all at the start, in periods of change and for key meetings with management or the team. We agree the rhythm for each mandate; the referee at Element explicitly highlights her flexibility and swift availability, including on-site assignments in Germany.

How are access rights, approvals and controls handled in a remote mandate?

Just as for internal staff: the company grants access rights and approval authority, and existing controls such as the four-eyes principle for payment runs continue to apply. Work is done directly in the company’s systems rather than in side spreadsheets, and process steps are documented. The place of work changes nothing about traceability and responsibilities.

Does remote finance also work with shared service centres and international hubs?

Yes, it is a natural fit there, because the people involved sit in different locations anyway. At Element Materials Technology, Loretta Schneiders handled accounts payable for five German sites remotely, in close coordination with the Global Business Center in Edinburgh. The Element case study shows how this worked in detail.

Can an accounting team be led remotely or in a hybrid model?

Yes, if presence is used deliberately. At Live Nation in Frankfurt, Loretta Schneiders led an accounting team of 20 people in a hybrid model, with regular presence on site, most recently around 25 per cent. Day-to-day work runs remotely, while in-person time is reserved for leadership and key moments. We are happy to discuss which model suits your team via the contact form.
