Interim Services
Experienced finance support when the business needs it now.
Finance gaps never arrive at a convenient time. A controller gives two weeks’ notice. A CFO falls ill. A lender asks for financials the team cannot produce. A sale process starts and the banker discovers the books are not ready. Every week the gap stays open, the close slips further, decisions are made blind, and the risk compounds.
We fill the gap immediately. Buxbaum places experienced controllers, accountants, and finance leaders who take ownership of the work from the first day, and we bring AI-enabled tools that get reporting current in weeks rather than months. We take a call on a Friday and we’re on-site on Monday. That is our standard response when the clock is running.
- Interim Accounting & Finance Leadership
We provide experienced professionals across accounting and finance roles who integrate into your team and own the day-to-day execution, so the function keeps running while you decide what it should look like long term.
What We Deliver
- Interim CFO, controller, accounting manager, and other supporting capabilities
- Month-end close support
- Coverage during leave, transition, or turnover
- Audit, year-end, and tax preparation support
- Supplemental staffing for growth, acquisitions, or seasonal volume
- Stabilization & Catch-Up
Many engagements begin with books that are months behind, a general ledger nobody trusts, or a close that has stopped happening. We stabilize first, then rebuild.
What We Deliver
- Reporting catch-up, including multi-month or multi-year reconstruction where needed
- General ledger clean-up and balance sheet reconciliation
- Re-establishment of the monthly close with documented procedures
- Cash visibility restored through a daily position and rolling forecast
- Controls and documentation that hold up to lender, auditor, or buyer review
- Continuity During Transition
Whether the departure was planned or a surprise, we keep the finance function operating without a gap in reporting, and we protect the institutional knowledge that usually walks out the door with the person.
What We Deliver
- Uninterrupted monthly close and reporting cadence through the transition
- Knowledge capture and process documentation from departing staff
- Support for lender, board, and investor reporting during the gap
- Assessment of the function and a recommendation on what the permanent role should be
- Hiring support and onboarding of the long-term replacement
- Deadline-Driven Engagements
Some situations have a fixed date: a refinancing, a sale process, an audit, a covenant deadline. We deploy immediately, take ownership of the deliverables, and work at the pace the deadline requires.
What We Deliver
- Rapid deployment of a team sized to the deliverable and the timeline
- Financials, forecasts, and lender or buyer packages built to the reviewer’s standard
- Cash-to-accrual conversion and QoE preparation under transaction timelines
- Direct coordination with lenders, bankers, auditors, and counsel
- Reporting infrastructure designed to last beyond the deadline
Why Buxbaum
- Full ownership of the work from the first day.
- Our interim professionals have run finance functions and worked through transactions, so they operate independently rather than waiting to be directed.
- AI-enabled delivery gets reporting current quickly and leaves automated processes in place when we leave.
- We stabilize the function and make it independent of any single person, so the next departure is not the next crisis.
- We integrate with your team, your lenders, and your advisors, and we scale the engagement up or down as the situation demands.
What Clients Gain
- Continuity in financial operations from the first week
- Books brought current and a close that runs on schedule
- Reliable reporting for lenders, boards, and buyers through the transition
- Reduced risk during periods of change
- Time and information to hire the right long-term team
- A finance function that is stronger when the engagement ends than when it began
