What Interim Finance Group does

Interim Finance Group B.V. (IFG) is a Dutch specialist staffing firm founded in February 2021 in Amsterdam by Tom Heuvels and Jan Hessing. The company places HBO/WO-educated finance professionals — ranging from junior accountants (0–2 years experience, €3,200–€4,000/month salary band) to senior business controllers (2–5 years experience, €4,500–€5,500/month) — on interim assignments of typically 6–9 months with Dutch organisations spanning banking, real estate, logistics, fashion, beverages, automotive, and consumer goods. Core offerings include the IFG detachment/interim staffing service and the IFG Search sub-brand, launched in 2022, which handles permanent recruitment and selection (werving & selectie). A ZZP (freelance) finance network supplements supply for senior or specialised (C1-level) requests, and IFG acts as intermediary on those engagements.

The company's "technology" is process- and people-driven rather than platform-driven: the IFG-ontwikkelplan (Personal Development Plan) pairs each consultant with a dedicated Talent Manager, operates within a recurring HR Talent Cycle, and embeds training in modern finance skills including Power BI and advanced Excel. No proprietary software platform is described. The firm's go-to-market combines an enterprise field sales motion (internal Business Managers and Account Managers conducting direct outreach to client finance departments) with a community-led candidate acquisition strategy (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, blog content, community events). Revenue is generated primarily through margin on consultant billable rates, with secondary streams from permanent placement fees via IFG Search and intermediary margin on ZZP engagements.

In February 2026 IFG joined Kasparov Finance & BI Group alongside Public Search, forming a combined entity of approximately 300 employees and roughly €75 million in revenue, backed by Bolster Investment Partners. IFG continues to operate as an independent brand within the group, with founders retaining director and shareholder roles. All operations remain domestic to the Netherlands.

Revenue model

1. Detachering / Interim Finance Staffing: Interim Finance Group places Finance Consultants on temporary (interim) assignments with client organisations. Consultants are employed by IFG and deployed to client sites for assignments typically lasting 6-9 months. Revenue is generated through the margin between the consultant's salary and the hourly/daily rate charged to the client. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. IFG Search (Werving & Selectie): For permanent placement requests from clients, IFG Search handles recruitment and selection. This generates placement fees for filling permanent finance positions. This stream was introduced to address recurring client demand for both interim and permanent hires.
3. ZZP/Vermoëerde Professional Assignments: Interim Finance Group sources experienced self-employed finance professionals (ZZP'ers) from its own network to fulfil senior or specialised client assignments. IFG acts as an intermediary, earning a margin on these engagements.
