Backfilling
Clients often have a need to backfill positions within the accounting function due to staff turnover or staff absences. Whilst a temporary set of workers who can be provided at short notice may well be useful in meeting these needs, often a service that involves a more structured consulting based approach would be better suited to ensuring continuity in finance function operations.
