Interim FP&A: The Smart Alternative to Permanent Hiring

June 17, 2025

What is FP&A, exactly?

Our solution with Modelcom

  • Step in during delayed or disorganized budgeting processes
  • Develop or optimize financial models
  • Build strategic plans or respond to executive-level requests
  • According to Harvard Business Review, interruptions, inefficient meetings, and non-essential admin tasks can eat up as much as 30% of a typical employee’s time, cutting into real productivity (HBR, 2020).
  • Gallup also estimates that only 30% of global employees are fully engaged and productive at work. The rest is lost to distractions, low engagement, and transition time (State of the Global Workplace, 2023).
  • Agile Plan (10h/week): $46,800/year (~70% savings, ~$90/hour, no payroll taxes or long-term commitment)
  • Sustained Plan (20h/week): $93,600/year (~40% savings, same hourly rate, full flexibility)
  • Intensive Plan (30h/week): $140,400/year (consistent cost/hour, maximum impact, complete flexibility)

Why our interim service works

  • Total flexibility: Adjustable mandate (duration and weekly hours)
  • Structured expertise: Deliverables by professionals backed by senior experts
  • Results-focused: Everything is delivered, tracked, and audited
  • Cost-efficient: You only pay for productive hours
