How Interim Leadership & Executive Search Drive Business Impact
Even strong teams can feel pressure from a CFO transition, a year-end audit or a shift in investor expectations. That’s why having the right finance leadership in place at the right time matters.
Katalyst Group bridges those gaps with interim leadership, project-based resources, and executive search solutions — ensuring organizations stay aligned, focused, and ready for what’s next.
Aligning Finance Talent With Business Strategy
Today’s market demands leaders who do more than maintain operations — they drive performance and anticipate change before it hits. We help companies secure leadership that strengthens financial visibility and supports long-term goals.
Why Interim Projects Matter in Today’s Market
Interim leadership isn’t a temporary fix — it’s a strategic accelerator. Leaders like Craig Levy, a seasoned interim CFO for private equity-backed companies, demonstrate the value these roles deliver:
