When your finance or operations leader leaves, the clock starts immediately. Most businesses can’t afford to wait three to six months for the right permanent hire — and they shouldn’t have to.

I’m Paula Freeman, an interim CFO and COO with 25+ years running finance and operations across multi-entity organizations, family offices, and complex business environments. I’ve held dual GM/CFO roles, led multi-entity controllership, and served as VP Operations — so I don’t just close the books. I understand how the whole business runs and I can lead both sides of it.
