Business Talent Solutions

Not recruitment. Not outsourcing. Something more useful.

Business Talent Solutions sits between two models that often don’t fit. Classic recruitment takes months and creates permanent headcount. Full-process BPO transfers ownership of the function. Neither works when you need experienced professionals quickly, on a defined contract, under your own management.

Our model is different. We employ the professionals, handle the contract, onboarding, and administration — you manage them day-to-day as part of your team. The engagement ends when your project ends, with no redundancy liability and no long-term obligation.

We bring the same delivery mindset from our IT outsourcing practice to business and finance functions: rigorous vetting, fast mobilisation, and active account management throughout.

01

Interim Management

Senior executives — interim CFO, Finance Director, Head of Finance — stepping in with full ownership of the function.

02

Finance & Back-Office Staffing

Operational specialists in AP, AR, GL, controlling, reporting, and payroll — individually or as teams, for weeks or months.

03

Project-Based Teams

Assembled groups for a defined scope: month-end close, ERP migration, IFRS rollout, or finance process redesign.

Use Cases

When companies come to us

Our clients typically engage Business Talent Solutions in one of the following situations.

01

CFO or finance leader departure

An interim executive covers the function immediately while a permanent hire is found — no gap in reporting, compliance, or strategic decision-making.

02

SSC / GBS build-out in Poland

Western European group setting up a shared services function. We provide the initial team of AP, GL, and AR specialists while the permanent structure is established.

03

ERP implementation or migration

Finance team needs temporary augmentation during SAP, D365, or Oracle go-live. Specialists support data migration, parallel runs, and hyper-care without permanent headcount increases.

04

M&A integration

Post-acquisition finance integration requires interim leadership and specialist support across multiple entities. Professionals experienced in multi-entity consolidation and IFRS.

05

Month-end close optimisation

Finance function struggling with close timelines or reporting quality. A project team identifies root causes and implements process improvements — then hands over to the permanent team.

06

Rapid business growth

Revenue and transaction volumes outpacing finance capacity. We scale the team immediately — AP, AR, GL, controlling — while the company plans permanent hiring without being blocked by it.

In my extensive outsourcing career, I have been very lucky to help numerous decision makers from various industries in Western Europe and the USA to boost the competitiveness of their businesses with talent from Poland. Poland offers something rare: engineers who are technically elite, culturally aligned with Western business values, and available at a cost structure that actually makes sense.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between interim management and staff augmentation?

Interim management refers to senior executives — CFO, Finance Director, Controller — who step into a leadership role and take full ownership of a function or project. They make decisions, manage teams, and carry responsibility for outcomes. Staff augmentation provides operational specialists who work under your existing management — AP accountants, GL specialists, reporting analysts — extending your team’s capacity without adding permanent headcount.

How quickly can you deploy a professional?

For operational finance specialists, deployment is typically possible within 5–10 business days from confirmed requirement. For senior interim executives (CFO-level), allow 2–3 weeks for proper matching and introductions. In urgent situations we can often move faster — contact us with your timeline.

When should a company hire an interim CFO rather than a permanent one?

An interim CFO makes sense when you need immediate coverage after a departure, when you are going through a transformation or M&A process requiring specific expertise for a defined period, or when the organisation is not yet ready to commit to a full-time hire. Interim CFOs are often more experienced than the permanent hire you would make at the same cost — they bring knowledge from multiple industries and situations without requiring equity or long-term packages.

How do I hire an interim CFO in Poland?

Define the scope: full-time leadership, a fractional CFO for 2–3 days per week, or a temporary CFO for a specific project or vacancy. Contact us with the brief and we will present a shortlist within 5–7 business days. We manage employment, contract, and administration. Typical time from brief to deployed interim CFO in Poland: 10–14 business days.

What is finance staff augmentation?

Finance staff augmentation is a model where you extend your finance team with external professionals working under your management — exactly like employees, but without the permanent employment relationship. You define scope, manage day-to-day work, and the engagement ends when you no longer need the resource. The provider handles employment, payroll, and administration.

Why hire finance professionals from Poland?

Poland has a large, well-educated finance and accounting talent pool with strong international experience. Many Polish finance professionals have worked in SSC / GBS environments for Western European and US groups, are fluent in English (and often German), and are experienced in IFRS, US GAAP, SAP, and D365. The cost advantage over Western Europe is typically 40–60% at comparable seniority and quality (KPMG 2025).

What accounting and finance roles can I hire on contract in Poland?

The full range is available on contract — from AP accountants and AR specialists to GL accountants, management accountants, financial reporting analysts, and finance managers. We also place contract professionals at management level: finance manager Poland, accounting manager Poland, group controller, and reporting manager. All roles available on short-term temporary contracts, fixed-term contracts, or ongoing staff augmentation. Contact us to hire accountants in Poland or to build a finance team in Poland.

How does Itelence differ from a recruitment agency placing interim managers?

A recruitment agency matches a candidate and the relationship ends at placement. We remain involved throughout: we manage the contract, handle administration, and are your single point of contact if anything needs to change. If a professional is not the right fit, we replace them. We bring the same delivery accountability to finance staffing that we apply to our IT outsourcing engagements.
