BH Financial™ Case Study

Dedicated Resource Program Assistant Controller

Challenge

The assistant controller of this Boston-based investment firm resigned, and the accounting team was already understaffed. They needed a resource to immediately begin cross-training with the outgoing assistant controller and commit to staying on staff through the first quarter. 

Solution

After discussing the current staffing challenges in the Boston market and the importance of having someone who could commit to the duration, Beacon Hill Financial introduced our dedicated resource program to our client. In addition to highlighting the incentives and benefits our candidates receive, we also pointed out that our solution is a less expensive alternative to going to a consulting firm.

Achievements

Within twenty-four hours, we found and presented a skilled candidate to bridge the gap and help our client’s operations continue smoothly for the immediate two months without missing a beat in controllership. Our client started our consultant with time for them to spend a full week cross-training with the outgoing assistant controller.
