Interim CFO | Restructuring & Turnaround | CFO-as-a-Service | Private Equity Environment

I support companies as an Interim CFO or CFO-as-a-Service in challenging and often insolvency-related situations: profit and liquidity crises, restructuring, shareholder conflicts, M&A phases, private equity investments, and vacancies in the finance department. With over 20 years of experience in finance, controlling, and corporate management, I combine strategic clarity with operational execution power.

My focus is on robust financial transparency, short-term liquidity management, integrated planning (P&L, cash flow, liquidity), and clear governance and decision-making structures. I work fact-based, calmly, and systematically – even under high time and expectation pressure – and am comfortable operating at management, shareholder, and investor levels.

Typical mandates:

• Interim CFO in special situations (turnaround, restructuring, pre-insolvency)

• Short-term cash & liquidity securing, development of weekly and 13-week plans

• Stabilization and realignment of controlling, FP&A, and reporting

• Support for M&A transactions, distressed situations, and post-merger phases

• CFO-as-a-Service for SMEs and high-growth companies

• Governance, representation of interests, and structured communication with shareholders, advisory boards, banks, and investors

• Moderation and decision support in cases of diverging interests (e.g., PE, management, financing partners)

I stand for objective analysis, clear communication, and actionable solutions – with the goal of establishing decision-making capability, limiting risks, and regaining or sustainably securing financial operational capability.
