We help you find an interim Group Controller
Working as an interim group controller requires a high level of competence in accounting, reporting and controlling. Our network of consultants includes qualified controllers with experience in group accounting, consolidation and group reporting, often in an international environment.
If the group's finance function needs to be developed in terms of governance, control and follow-up, an experienced interim consultant can also drive that change work. Based on your specific needs, we can quickly help match the right person to the job.

Our work process
An overall needs analysis is carried out at the first contact. Thanks to our long experience and experienced executive recruiters, we can quickly understand the needs and advise on any questions or concerns.
Based on the needs analysis, we create, preferably together with the customer in real time, a requirements profile that defines requirements for skills and experience. The requirements profile then forms the basis for the continued process through dialogue with candidates, candidate presentations, reference taking and follow-up during the interim assignment.
Interim recruitment has to be fast. The secret is to have a large network of candidates with up-to-date information on their skills and availability. We have that at Brightmill. To find the best candidates, we always rely on our own network of carefully selected candidates across Sweden, Denmark and Germany. We work quickly and efficiently thanks to our proprietary system support that makes us spot-on and time-efficient.
In order to make the selection process as efficient as possible, we use our digital profile tool to compare candidates' competences with the requirements profile. This allows us to ensure the objectivity of the selection and that the candidates contacted have a relevant profile.
At Brightmill, we work exclusively with competence-based recruitment. The responsible executive recruiter interviews the candidates and prepares a clear candidate profile to complement the candidate's CV. Brightmill presents the most interesting candidates to the client.
The client interviews selected candidates and selects their final candidate.
Background checks are carried out on all candidates we present. Reference checks are carried out by Brightmill on the final candidate. It is also based on the requirements profile and supplemented by a series of generic questions that are compiled in writing in an easy-to-understand format.
Contracts are signed digitally with the client and then with the consultant. Brightmill also provides assistance with start-up and onboarding.
Faster results with interim
The most common reason for hireing an interim manager is still for temporary vacancies. However, an interim consultant can be an effective and quick solution in other contexts as well. Perhaps the company needs a major transformation or is facing concrete business challenges? Regardless, an interim solution is an effective and, nowadays, well-proven way to raise the level of competence. It allows the customer to meet the challenges they face with a high degree of flexibility.
With a qualified interim consultant, you get an experienced manager with proven leadership experience at short notice. A person who can quickly go operational and achieve results within a clearly defined assignment. An interim consultant not only has a good understanding of the challenges that may exist. They often also have previous experience of how best to address similar challenges, which can accelerate the desired results.
