Is an Interim CFO Worth the Cost? 

Bringing in an interim CFO can feel like a big investment. The day rate is visible, easy to compare, and is often the first thing people fixate on. But it tells you very little about what they actually deliver. 

Looking beyond the day rate 

Interim finance leaders are usually brought in at moments where something needs to shift. Growth is accelerating, performance needs tightening, or the business is preparing for a major event like funding or sale. 

What does the right person actually deliver?

In this video, Karen Pitchforth, Associate Director at Headstar, explores how interim CFOs create value in a short space of time. She shares where that impact comes from, and why the return is often measured in better decisions, stronger control, and faster progress.
