Whether you need a fractional CFO to optimize financial performance, an interim COO to manage change, or a transformation leader to execute strategic initiatives, we deliver flexible solutions tailored to your goals and timelines.

F.A.Q.
Is there a required contract duration?
What is your vetting process?
Each candidate is screened for experience, leadership track record, and cultural alignment. We conduct interviews, verify credentials, and assess prior project results before presenting them.
What’s the difference between interim, fractional, and project-based engagements?
- Interim: Full-time temporary leadership coverage during transitions.
- Fractional: Part-time, ongoing executive support for growing companies.
- Project-based: Experts brought in to lead or deliver a specific initiative.
Can interim or fractional executives transition to full-time?
Yes. Many clients use interim or fractional engagements as a way to evaluate long-term fit before converting to a direct hire.
How are fees structured?
Interim and fractional engagements are billed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and on a project-basis based on the scope and time commitment. Permanent placements follow a fixed or percentage-based fee. All terms are transparent and outlined when candidates are presented.
Do you work with small or mid-sized companies, or just large enterprises?
Both. We support organizations of all sizes, from startups building their leadership teams to Fortune 500 companies navigating transformation or turnaround.
Do you do confidential searches?
Absolutely. Many of the searches we manage are confidential by nature, whether it involves replacing a sitting executive, preparing for a future transition, or navigating sensitive organizational changes.
At Work Industries, confidentiality is built into our process. We operate with discretion at every stage, from how we engage with the market and manage outreach, to how candidate information is shared internally. Our team uses direct, private communication channels and only disclose client or candidate identities when mutually agreed upon.
This approach allows us to protect both our clients’ business interests and our candidates’ professional reputations while still delivering exceptional results.
Do you provide support for finance and accounting functions?
Yes. We specialize in interim and fractional finance leadership, providing CFOs, Controllers, FP&A professionals, and senior accountants with proven experience in both strategic and hands-on financial management.
Our experts manage everything from financial reporting, budgeting, and audit readiness to post-acquisition integration, ERP implementation, and cash-flow stabilization.
Whether you need interim CFO services, fractional controller support, or outsourced accounting solutions, Work Industries delivers seasoned leaders who strengthen financial performance, drive compliance, and position your business for long-term growth.
Do you support turnarounds?
Yes. Turnarounds and business transformations are a core strength of Work Industries.
We provide interim executives, fractional COOs, and operational turnaround specialists with deep experience in stabilizing operations, restoring profitability, and rebuilding leadership teams. Our leaders have driven successful recoveries across aerospace, manufacturing, and industrial organizations facing delivery challenges, margin pressure, or organizational restructuring.
Whether you need turnaround management support, operational recovery consulting, or short-term leadership to realign strategy and execution, our team delivers measurable results quickly and with discretion.
Does Work Industries support digital transformation initiatives?
Yes. Digital transformation is a key part of how Work Industries helps organizations evolve and compete.
We provide interim and fractional leaders experienced in technology integration, ERP implementation, data analytics, and process automation. Our professionals help companies modernize their systems, align people and technology, and drive measurable business outcomes — whether it’s streamlining operations, improving visibility, or enabling smarter decision-making.
Work Industries connects clients with proven digital transformation consultants, CIOs, CTOs, and sr. project technical leaders who bridge strategy and execution. From planning to full rollout, we ensure that your digital initiatives deliver real operational and financial impact.
Which ERP and accounting systems do your professionals have experience with?
Our interim, fractional, and direct-hire leaders have hands-on experience with a wide range of ERP and accounting systems used across finance, operations, and manufacturing environments.
We routinely support clients working in:
- ERP systems: SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Epicor, Infor, JD Edwards, Workday, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks Enterprise.
- Accounting platforms: QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Deltek Costpoint, Peachtree/Sage 50, and other industry-specific financial tools.
What makes Work Industries different from traditional recruiters?
We focus on speed, precision, and flexibility, combining interim, fractional, and strategic search under one model. Our clients gain access to experienced leaders who can deliver immediate impact, not just fill a seat.
