For more than 17 years I have been working with Moir Group across a range of permanent and temporary requirements in my finance teams. Stephen and the team have always been professional and diligent in their approach to understand our culture, the skillset required to deliver on each role, and the strategic direction we were going. It’s first class.

When to consider interim leadership

Organisations engage interim executives when experience, objectivity, and speed are critical. 

Interim leadership is particularly effective for:

  • Bridging leadership gaps during permanent recruitment
  • Leading urgent projects, business transformations, or change management initiatives
  • Providing expertise for mergers, acquisitions, or restructures
  • Stabilising business performance during periods of disruption
  • Strengthening and upskilling internal teams
  • Identifying investment opportunities or raising capital
  • Streamlining operations and integrating enterprise systems

Interim executives are a tactical solution for organisations seeking immediate results, specialised expertise, and flexible, goal-focused leadership without the delays or costs associated with permanent recruitment. They are agile, strategy-focused, and capable of delivering operational and strategic outcomes from day one.

I have partnered in a CFO capacity with the Stephen Moir team since 2009. Over the years I have found their team thoroughly professional, capable and a pleasure to work with.

Some of the qualities I value most about them is their passion to understand our business recruitment needs, the culture of our business and their honesty about available talent within the market. I can always trust the fact they will only put capable people forward that meet our needs and cultural fit.
