interim CFO

An interim CFO is a temporary chief financial officer appointed to manage a company's financial strategies and operations during a transitional period—such as a vacancy in the CFO role, a major change, or a crisis. They bring expert financial oversight, ensure accurate reporting, and support decision-making, helping the company maintain stability and progress until a permanent CFO is hired or the situation stabilizes. Essentially, they act as a trusted financial leader on a short-term basis to bridge gaps and keep the organization on track financially.
