Outsourced CFO is seeing surging demand for its Talent Solutions service as high-growth companies seek temporary finance professionals to maintain stability during expansion. With rapid scaling, system upgrades, and leadership shifts, businesses rely on OCFO’s vetted specialists to ensure continuity and accelerate critical financial projects.
-- Outsourced CFO (OCFO), a global finance consulting firm supporting high-growth companies across multiple markets, is seeing strong demand for its Talent Solutions service as businesses accelerate expansion and face increasing financial complexity. OCFO Talent Solutions has become a critical resource for organizations seeking dependable temporary finance support to maintain stability while navigating rapid growth, leadership changes, and demanding reporting cycles.
Melissa Michael, Talent Acquisition Manager at OCFO, says the rising interest reflects a broader shift in how companies are approaching financial continuity. “Businesses are scaling faster, reporting faster, and making decisions faster than ever. When a key finance team member steps out or major projects overlap, the impact is immediate. Our role is to ensure companies stay steady and on track, no matter what is happening internally,” she said.
OCFO Talent Solutions provides businesses with pre-screened finance professionals who can step into temporary roles at all levels, including bookkeepers, accountants, senior finance managers, and CFOs. These placements help organizations avoid disruption during maternity leave, system upgrades, unexpected resignations, audit periods, and the long recruitment timelines often required for permanent hires. According to Michael, the service is increasingly seen as a strategic lever for resilience. “Companies cannot always wait six to twelve weeks to find permanent hires. Temporary placements give them immediate coverage so that operations, planning, and compliance never fall behind.”
One of the strongest examples of OCFO’s impact comes from its partnership with Mukuru, one of Africa’s leading cross-border financial services providers. As Mukuru expanded across more than 20 countries and undertook significant internal projects, OCFO Talent Solutions stepped in to support its fast-growing finance function with temporary financial consultants, accountants, and CFO-level expertise.
Mukuru’s Chief Financial Officer, Max Havemann, described the collaboration clearly. “We teamed up with OCFO because of their reputation for providing top-notch financial expertise. They helped fill a crucial gap in our finance team, allowing us to focus on securing permanent talent without disrupting operations.” With the company scaling rapidly, the additional support became essential. “Our business moves fast, and having OCFO step in with temporary resources meant we didn’t miss a beat,” Havemann said. “They didn’t just offer us a service; they became a true partner, understanding our needs and staying flexible as things evolved.”
This partnership proved especially valuable during a period when Mukuru was completing an ERP system upgrade while managing an intensive audit. Havemann emphasized how important it was to have temporary finance specialists in place. “We couldn’t afford to delay the upgrade, and OCFO’s team helped us keep things moving forward while focusing on both immediate and long-term goals.”
The long-term benefits were significant. “We’re now 18 months ahead of where we’d have been without OCFO’s support. Their team allowed us to accelerate our projects and focus on bigger strategic goals, like new market expansion.” For Havemann, OCFO’s involvement offered lasting value rather than short-term relief. “For any company needing to bridge short-term gaps or fast-track critical financial projects, OCFO is an exceptional partner. They’re responsive, adaptable, and committed to helping their clients succeed.”
Michael says Mukuru’s experience is increasingly common among high-growth organizations. “Continuity is everything in finance. When projects stall or deadlines slip, the ripple effects can touch every part of the business. Temporary talent gives companies the stability they need to keep moving forward while they recruit permanent staff or manage internal change.”
As businesses expand into new markets, adopt new systems, and face tighter financial reporting demands, OCFO expects the reliance on flexible financial talent to continue growing. “Companies want resilience built into their finance function,” Michael said. “Our mission is to provide the people who make that possible.”
