The demand for interim finance talent is not slowing down. It’s accelerating and becoming a structural shift in the market.

Here is what’s driving it:
📌 Finance leaders are exiting the workforce faster than they are being replaced
📌 The pipeline of new accounting and finance talent continues to shrink
📌 Finance roles are expanding in scope, complexity, and expectation
📌 Transaction volume and reporting demands keep increasing

At the same time, finance teams are expected to do more with less while staying agile, scalable, and AI enabled, with limited capacity to keep up with transformation demands.

That gap is showing up across CFO, Controller, and senior accounting roles, making interim finance support one of the most effective ways to close it. But ex*****on matters.

This dynamic is especially pronounced in private equity-backed businesses, where rapid growth, transaction activity, and turnover within the finance function can create additional strain and urgency.

At DLA, our interim professionals step directly into roles and integrate from day one, supported by our technical and operational accounting teams who provide depth and continuity behind them.

The goal is not just to fill a gap. It is to elevate the finance function. In today’s environment, interim finance is about capability, timing, and the right expertise, fully supported.

Implementing a new system is one of the highest risk investments for any organization. Yet many underestimate how much audit scrutiny their implementation or upgrade will face.

A disciplined Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is not bureaucracy. It is IT risk management. It provides structure, accountability, and documentation from system selection through post implementation stabilization. Auditors look for this at every stage.

Key audit questions during system implementations:
✅Was the system selected through a structured, requirement driven process?
✅Were the right business and IT stakeholders involved and accountable at go live?
✅Was project governance clear, with defined ownership, milestones, and decisions?
✅Was data migration planned, tested, and validated?
✅Did business users test and approve the system before production?
✅Were controls designed in, or added after issues surfaced?

Takeaway: Doing it fast without an SDLC often becomes the slowest and most expensive path. Investing in structure, documentation, and cross functional ownership upfront reduces IT risk, control gaps, and audit findings.

Ensure your SDLC can withstand audit scrutiny and compliance requirements.

There is a common misconception that accounting advisory services are only needed for compliance or audit support. In reality, they help organizations improve the quality of data, reduce cost associated with financial reporting, and make smarter strategic decisions.

This support is especially valuable during major events such as mergers and acquisitions, IPO readiness, or organizational transitions. With the right guidance, businesses gain clarity, confidence, and stronger reporting accuracy.

Is your organization leveraging accounting advisory to drive smarter decisions and sustainable growth?

Business valuations play an important role in helping organizations make informed financial and strategic decisions while reducing uncertainty and providing a solid foundation for decision-making.

Understanding what a business is truly worth brings clarity, supports stronger planning, and helps stakeholders move forward with confidence. This insight is especially valuable when evaluating mergers and acquisitions, preparing for a potential sale, or conducting estate planning.

Business valuations are also critical in assessing and quantifying damages in shareholder disputes, for commercial litigation and in matrimonial proceedings. A thorough and objective valuation provides clarity in shareholder disputes, commercial lawsuits, and divorces involving a business, helping ensure fair outcomes and showing the true value for entitlements or damages.

Most IT General Control deficiencies are not surprises. They are recurring patterns that can create real risks for businesses if left unaddressed.

Some of the most common gaps include user access that is not removed after an employee leaves, change management approvals that lack proper documentation, user access reviews that are completed but not actually performed, and privileged accounts that go unmonitored. Each of these issues can lead to compliance failures, security risks, or audit findings.

Strong IT controls are not about design alone. Ownership, accountability, and proactive monitoring are the keys to successful IT compliance and risk management.

If your team is preparing for SOX compliance, IT audits, or wants to get ahead of findings before auditors arrive, our IT Advisory team can help.

For questions or concerns, please reach out to Dennis Christoforatos, Managing Director & CIO or Kevin Gray, Senior Manager – Information Technology Services.

Cyber incidents are no longer rare; they are an operational reality. Resilient organizations recognize that cybersecurity is not just about preventing attacks, but about anticipating threats, containing disruption, and recovering quickly while maintaining business continuity.

This requires strong governance, alignment between security and business operations, and programs that address incident readiness, third-party risk, and evolving regulatory expectations. Organizations that invest in these capabilities move beyond reactive security and build resilience that protects operations, reputation, and enterprise value.

If this resonates, please reach out to Iskandar "Alex" Islamov, Head of Cybersecurity, at [email protected].

Alex will also be attending the 2026 RSA Conference on March 23rd, a leading global event focused on the latest trends and innovations in cybersecurity. If you are attending, take the opportunity to connect with him and continue the conversation around building stronger cyber resilience.
