Our Freelance Financial Controllers take responsibility for operational controlling: monthly reporting, rolling forecasts, variance analyses, and the consolidation of budget-to-actual comparisons. They provide reliable data for management and investors—precise, transparent, and ready for decision-making. Our profiles work directly within your systems—whether SAP, Lucanet, or Power BI—and fill structural gaps in the finance department without requiring a lengthy onboarding period.
Typically, companies turn to our profiles when staffing for a permanent position cannot be completed, a transformation project requires additional capacity, or a liquidity crunch demands rapid transparency. Especially during phases involving investor communication, M&A preparations, or system migrations, an experienced financial controller makes the difference between maintaining control and losing it.

Our experts take a hands-on approach to monthly and quarterly closings and bring structure to reconciliation processes. They produce reliable figures that both Finance and Management can use. This makes the closing process predictable, rather than a one-off project every time.
With these profiles, you’ll receive forecasts based on clear business logic. Variances are explained through drivers, not just reported. This improves decision-making regarding pricing, staffing, procurement, and investments.
Our profiles integrate ERP, BI, and controlling processes into a consistent reporting framework. They reduce manual Excel workarounds and improve data quality. This saves the team time and enhances audit readiness.

We’ll work with you to define the exact scope: What reporting structures are already in place, which ones are missing, and which stakeholders need to be served? In doing so, we’ll also determine whether the role should be established as a standalone position or integrated into an existing team—this is a key factor in defining the role specification.
Based on your requirements, we carefully match them against our pool of vetted profiles and select only those that are a good fit both professionally and in terms of the specific situation. You’ll receive suitable recommendations within 24–36 hours—not a mass selection, but curated profiles with clear justifications.
What matters to us isn't whether a profile has a certain title—it's whether it delivers results in your specific situation. Our experts are evaluated based on whether reporting quality, forecast stability, and stakeholder communication show a noticeable improvement.

You’ll receive an initial selection of suitable profiles within 24–36 hours. To do this, we match your requirements with candidates’ availability, industry experience, and tool stack. We then coordinate interviews and assist with quickly determining their availability.
We start with a structured requirements assessment: goals, deliverables, timeline, stakeholders, and system landscape. We then match candidates specifically to your requirements and only share those who have already completed relevant tasks. Once you’ve made your decision, we’ll support you through to the start of the contract and ensure clear alignment on expectations and scope.
A technical fit is demonstrated by whether the controller has been responsible for closing, forecasting, and reporting in comparable environments. Our experts provide examples of driver models, KPI definitions, account reconciliations, and reporting packages. Additionally, we assess tool experience (e.g., ERP/BI/Excel) as well as the ability to integrate seamlessly with accounting, FP&A, and business teams.
Success is measured by specific output criteria: a stable closing calendar, reduced open reconciliations, and a consistent reporting package. Using these profiles, you’ll define target KPIs at the outset, such as forecast accuracy, cash transparency, and closing lead times. This way, you’ll be able to see within just a few weeks whether processes are taking effect and decisions are being made more quickly.
Effective onboarding begins with system access, data sources, and a clear stakeholder plan for Finance, Operations, and Management. Our experts document processes, assumptions, and KPI definitions so that your team can continue them. The process culminates in handover sessions, a closing runbook, and a reporting manual, ensuring that nothing relies on any single individual.
The daily rate for this role ranges from €700 to €1,100. The exact rate typically depends on seniority, scope (e.g., closing responsibilities, cash management, reporting setup), as well as tool and industry requirements. We’ll suggest suitable profiles within your budget and ensure a clear scope of work so that the assignment remains cost-effective.
Typical deliverables include a closing calendar with assigned responsibilities, reconciled accounts, and standardized management reporting. In addition, our profiles often provide a driver model for forecasts, a KPI glossary, and cash planning including scenarios. If necessary, audit documentation is also structured, and processes are documented in a way that ensures they are audit-ready.
