Short-Term Accounting Support
Because sometimes gaps happen, and structure still needs protecting.
Unexpected gaps can threaten momentum more than they should, especially when you are working to build something stable. This is why Temporary Coverage exists: limited, short-term support designed to protect accounting operations during critical transitions.
If a required accounting role becomes temporarily unavailable, whether due to departure or delayed hiring, I can step in through the Short-Term Accounting Support Project for up to two months. The purpose is to preserve continuity and stabilize the existing financial structure while a permanent solution is put in place.
This support is limited to two activations per client, with a minimum of three months between uses, to preserve system integrity and prevent dependency. Coverage is limited strictly to operational accounting continuity. No staff report to me, and this does not include people management, payroll or payroll processing, operational taxes, collections, customer payment follow-ups, CFO leadership, cross-departmental responsibilities, or broader operational roles.
Scope & Pricing
When critical gaps threaten accounting stability, this temporary support provides an operational bridge. It keeps financial operations moving until the right hire is in place.
This service is designed to stabilize critical accounting operations during staffing gaps, not for full operational rebuilds or expansions. Broader requests may require separate scoping under the Ad-Hoc Retainer Project. Temporary Coverage is offered based on availability and subject to scheduling approval — on a first come, first served basis.
