Interim Management
Your Situation
"We need a marketing director, but we can't justify a full-time position for the role yet."
Small, high-growth firms need to ramp-up their management team as their needs and resources evolve.
How We Help
Interim managers:
- are hands-on, part-time management in key functional areas in which your business does not yet warrant a full-time resource.
- champion the role as if they are permanent employees of your company. We can provide you with a:
- CEO
- Director / VP in Marketing, Finance, Operations, Information Technology and Human Resource roles
- provide continuity and help facilitate the transition of a role to a new full-time person
- extend beyond the role of management consulting to tactical implementation. For example:
An Interim Director of Marketing may write the marketing copy, arrange attendance at trade shows, and meet buyers, in addition to working strategically with the founders and/or business leaders to define market segments and revenue targets.
An Interim Director of Finance may establish reporting systems, identify capital requirements, monitor cash flow, and facilitate the process for securing debt and equity financing.
What is the process?
- You contact us.
- We match an experienced QCBV advisor to your business and personal needs.
- You determine the length of engagement.
- Engagements are compensated on a fee and/or retainer basis. In some cases, a fixed project fee is established for the Interim Manager to deliver a defined outcome (i.e. being a lead for a product launch or to establish manufacturing supplies and processes).
Typical arrangements range from one hour per month to several hours per week. Outside of pre-scheduled meetings, you may wish to contact the advisor as unique circumstances arise. The advisor accommodates you in these situations whenever possible.
