Financial Return?
What are the key financial considerations?
Interim Managers are worth their weight in gold.
A clear cost benefit case - balancing need, price and payoff - will help you decide the seniority level of the proposed Interim Manager.
In most cases Interim Managers will -
- Work within capped financial limits
- Be much less expensive than a similarly experienced management consultant
- Expect to work long hours
- Receive no termination fee
- Charge on a per diem basis (alternatives can be considered)
- Commit their services for a guaranteed period, with options to extend
- Receive no payment for personal or public holidays and sick leave
- Per diem fees range from £600 to £1500. Expenses can be rounded into the fee or charged at cost
Approximately 20% of Interim Managers accept an offer to become a full-time employee at the company they are assigned to.
