Interim Management:
Your Questions Answered 

We typically operate on a daily rate model, which offers transparency and flexibility. For longer mandates or defined scopes, we can also structure monthly retainers or project-based pricing. The model is selected based on your needs, timeline, and budget structure.

Our rates cover the interim executive’s full-time engagement, including onboarding, operational delivery, and reporting. Travel and accommodation – if required – are billed separately and agreed upon in advance. There are no hidden fees.

Rates depend on the seniority of the role, the complexity of the mandate, and the speed of deployment. For example, a turnaround CFO in a distressed situation may command a higher rate than a maternity cover for a department head. We always provide a clear breakdown and rationale.

Our pricing is aligned with Swiss and European interim market standards. We regularly benchmark against peer firms and maintain transparency with clients. You’ll receive a proposal that includes role-specific benchmarks and expected ROI.

Yes. For multi-role engagements, repeat clients, or mandates exceeding 6 months, we offer preferential rates. These are discussed openly during the proposal phase.

Every mandate is tied to clear deliverables and KPIs. Our interim managers are selected for their ability to deliver measurable impact – whether that’s cost savings, operational improvements, or strategic execution. We also conduct mid-term reviews to ensure alignment and value delivery.

Our contracts are designed to be flexible. If a mandate ends early, billing stops accordingly. If extended, we adjust timelines and rates transparently. We aim to support your business – not lock you into rigid terms.

No. We do not charge separate placement fees. Our value lies in end-to-end support – from needs assessment to onboarding and follow-up. All costs are included in the agreed daily or monthly rate.

Yes. Interim management offers speed, flexibility, and impact – often at a lower total cost than permanent hires. There are no long-term commitments, no severance risks, and no onboarding delays. We’re happy to provide a tailored comparison based on your situation

We define success by outcomes, not effort. Interim executives are aligned to clear KPIs—whether that’s stabilizing operations, delivering a turnaround, or executing a transformation. We also conduct structured stakeholder feedback to assess leadership impact and cultural integration.

Interim leaders often serve as accelerators of long-term change. They can de-risk transitions, mentor successors, and implement foundational improvements that endure beyond their mandate. Their neutrality and experience often bring clarity in politically sensitive or high-stakes environments.

Yes. Many of our leaders are selected for their ability to influence culture as well as performance. They model new behaviors, align teams, and embed values that support sustainable change – especially during periods of disruption or growth.

Risks include misalignment with company culture or unclear expectations. We mitigate these through rigorous vetting, structured onboarding, and continuous oversight. Our consultants remain engaged throughout the mandate to ensure alignment and course correction if needed.
