Jonathan’s work in action
Systems implementation support for manufacturing firm
An immediate need arose to undertake the FD role on an interim basis whilst the business carried out a detailed recruitment exercise to identify and select a suitable candidate to project manage a major systems implementation project. The Group Director responsible for arranging cover was already aware of EFM’s ability to provide a range of experienced candidates at short notice to take on interim and project roles. Terms were agreed quickly with an immediate start date to ensure ongoing monthly and year-end financial reporting deadlines would be met.
