Hire an interim CFO in Greece and Cyprus

A finance leader who has run the CFO seat before, stepping in to take ownership of your numbers for as long as the situation needs.

An interim CFO takes over the finance function for a defined period: after a sudden departure, through a transaction, or while the business outgrows its current setup. Unlike an advisor, an interim CFO sits inside the company, owns the numbers, and is accountable for what the finance function produces.

The interim CFOs on Hellenic Talent come from Big 4 firms, top consultancies, and senior industry finance roles. They know the realities of operating in Greece and Cyprus, from local reporting obligations to how banks, auditors, and boards here actually work.

What does an interim CFO actually do?

  • Take control of cash, liquidity, and the working-capital cycle
  • Restore a reliable monthly close and management reporting rhythm
  • Manage relationships with banks, auditors, and investors
  • Prepare the company for an audit, a raise, or a sale process
  • Assess and upgrade the finance team and its systems
  • Give the board numbers it can make decisions on

How to choose the right interim CFO

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Operator, not advisor

    Has operated in the CFO seat, not only advised it.

  2. Been through this before

    Has handled your situation before: a transaction, a turnaround, or a scale-up.

  3. Local reporting and audit rules

    Knows Greek and Cypriot reporting, tax, and audit requirements where your entity needs it.

  4. Gets into the data

    Is hands-on with systems and data, not only with board slides.

  5. Fits your founder and board

    Communicates in a way your founder, board, and team will actually work with.
