# Success Story: Finnish Social Services Organisation

 By  [Ferovalo](https://www.ferovalo.com/news/author/ferovalo)  ·   2 minute read

## 5/5 stars from a Finnish social services organisation for their match with interim expert Iris Rekola!

![A Nordic energy company gives 5 stars to Ferovalo for their match with an interim HR expert.](https://www.ferovalo.com/hubfs/5Stars.png)

## The need for fast, expert-level financial leadership

A Finnish social services organisation operating in the social and health services sector found itself in a challenging situation at the beginning of 2025. In the highly competitive sector, margins are narrow and reliable financial accuracy is essential.

When the organisation’s Business Controller resigned unexpectedly, they urgently needed an experienced professional to take control of financial metrics, reporting, pricing processes, and overall financial follow-up.

The Director of Administration explains the situation: 

> *“We needed a professional who could quickly take the lead, understand a complex cost structure, and implement tools for monitoring and pricing within a very tight schedule.”*

Ferovalo responded to the need swiftly. An assignment was opened on [Best Best Talent Platform](https://www.ferovalo.com/about/), and after an efficient selection process, [Iris Rekola](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iris-rekola-6176482/) was chosen for the role. 

## Iris Rekola: expertise, clarity, and fast impact

Iris Rekola brought exactly the skillset the organisation required. She stepped in with extensive experience in financial reporting, analysis, and performance management.  

According to the Administration Director: 

> ***“Iris is an exceptionally skilled and productive financial professional. She sees the details, the essentials, and the bigger picture. In the role she quickly grasped the financial logic of complex operations, and her reporting, recommendations, and advisory support were implemented with impressive speed.”***

During the 10-month assignment, Iris significantly improved financial reporting, strengthened decision-making with reliable real-time data, and supported the development of processes and pricing. Her independent approach and ability to recognize issues requiring higher-level policies were particularly valued. 

 

## Why interim expertise was the right solution

The organisation's Director of Administration highlights several advantages of using an interim professional: 

> *“An interim is an ideal solution for situations where you don’t want to commit to a recruitment decision, or when facing temporary or change-related needs that require additional resources.”*

Considering the fast and expert-level work of Iris Rekola, the Director is extremely satisfied:

> *“On the whole, it was a profitable investment.”*

## When and why to use an interim professional

This case demonstrates how an interim expert can be the right solution for: 

- Sudden departures or leadership transitions

- Improving or stabilizing reporting and controller functions

- Developing pricing models and cost structures

- Supporting decision-making in complex, people-intensive sectors

- Delivering fast results in high-pressure environments

Interim managers can operate full or part-time, depending on the organization’s needs, offering flexibility without sacrificing expertise.
