Client's perspective
We decided to bring the Analyst on board because our financial reporting was causing a lot of problems. We didn't have the time to find a permanent CFO — that takes at least 4 months, even if you find the right person —so we decided to look at an embedded short-term role instead. There really wasn't anything that didn't go well. He was flexible and adaptable and helped build our bookkeeping capacity, training our clerk. We were very impressed. He worked hard, fit in immediately, required limited guidance to get everything we wanted done, satisfied our stakeholders that we were getting our financial management under control, and even did things we hadn't really expected, like pulling together pitch materials and building passenger analyses. He blended in very well, and was really a part of the team, involved at all levels.
