From emergency interim cover to supporting large-scale projects, temporary finance professionals can be a strategic solution for any business.

So, why do companies continue to hire interims in finance and accounting?

Top Advantages of Hiring Interim Accounting Professionals

Support and Protect

Bringing in additional help during high-pressure / stressful periods during the financial year, lightens the load on your existing staff. This not only ensures deadlines are met but also helps avoid burnout and its resulting staff turnover. “A key driver for candidates entering the market is being overworked at peak times, it pays to invest in interim help and in turn keep your permanent employees fresh, happy and set for a longer tenure in your business” added Andy Halliday, Director of Halliday Marx.

Managing cost

Hiring interim resource temp gives you access to accounting professionals while keeping within your financial limits.

For example: Smaller businesses might not need a full-time Financial Accountant but could benefit from temporary support during peak financial periods.

Ability to Adapt

Temporary staff allow you to respond rapidly to changes in workload.

Whether you’re dealing with a backlog, covering maternity leave, or managing unexpected departures, bringing in interim staff ensures that you remain productive.

Access to Specialists

Certain projects require skills that you may not have access to within your permanent team. Hiring a temp accountant grants you access to their skills and expertise on a short-term basis, without having to deal with long-term overheads.

Do you need the extra set of hands?

Hiring on a temporary or contract basis allows you to evaluate your current situation and workflows. Its also gives you time to judge the role for your firm before making a longer commitment. “On numerous occasions, we’ve assisted clients in assessing their needs and providing Interim resources whilst they decide on the future shape of their Finance team. The interim resources allowed proper consideration and no rushed mistakes, that helped the clients get the right permanent squad in place for best practice finance and reporting” said John Marx, Director of Halliday Marx.
