ASG Accounting & Finance presented an experienced interim Controller for a critical project within 48 hours.
Background
Survitec is a global survival technology leader to the maritime, defense & government, aerospace and energy sectors.
The Problem
Survitec’s Controller resigned only a couple of months prior to a new ERP implementation. Their accounting department had a history of high turnover and employee morale was low.
The Solution
Survitec had already partnered with Alliance Solutions Group on a cost accountant position, but upon learning of their Controller’s absence, ASG offered to find them an interim consultant to support during the transition to the new ERP implementation process. Survitec chose to move forward with our proposal due to our extensive accounting and finance relationships, rigorous screening process, and focus on both skill and cultural fit.
ASG activated its proven recruiting process by:
- Leveraging our best practices for placing high-level C-Suite office professionals
- Networking, sourcing, and engaging talent in the area
- Tapping into our exclusive circle of referrals
The Impact
Alliance Solutions Group was able to present a strong candidate within 48 hours. The consultant helped Survitec clean up reporting issues, reconcile benefits, and prepare the company for the ERP migration — all within 1 month.
The addition of this new consultant resulted in:
- An enhanced accounting team structure
- A 5 day month-end closing, compared to a 2 week closing period previously
- A smooth transition for a new permanent Controller
Survitec was so pleased with the consultant’s work, they decided to keep him as a subject matter expert of the legacy ERP and have their new Controller focus on the implementation of the new ERP.
“[Our consultant], Chris, has been a great asset to me and the company. I had a unique situation where my role had been vacant for 3 months, operating in an antiquated system, while also trying to go live with a new ERP system. We had to learn how to properly use our current system, track results, and analyze the information. I was able to leverage Chris’ learnings from his 3-4 weeks of additional experience at our company. Having him stay onboard [through ASG] for a few months allowed me to pull from his learnings to speed up my own.”
