Challenge
Absence of a structured finance department and lack of scalable financial oversight to support growth and strategic evolution.
Solution
Altesia deployed a flexible, plug-and-play interim team (CFO + Business Controller), starting with a financial diagnostic and adapting the level of support over time.
Impact
Immediate reinforcement of financial governance, scalable financial management practices, and a seamless transition to a trained internal successor.
Altesia (Cédric Van Themsche, Finance Partner & Interim CFO; Manon Vandenplas, Business Controller) delivered the exact level of financial expertise required — flexible, scalable, and sustainable — enabling the client to grow without the burden of a permanent structure too early.

Background

The client, active in MedTech, identified a critical gap in their financial management capabilities. The company lacked dedicated financial oversight, operating without a formal finance department. 

The objective was to integrate financial expertise that could scale with their growth and adapt to evolving strategic needs without the burden of a full-time, in-house financial department.

    A Synergized Interim Team

    Following this, a tailored team, consisting of an interim CFO and a business controller, Manon Vandenplas, took the helm.

     

    This duo, having previously collaborated on another MedTech project, brought a wealth of synergized experience, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness for the client.

    Their involvement varied between full-time and part-time engagements, precisely aligning with the client’s evolving needs.
