When to Use Interim Finance Staff to Prevent Burnout and Costly Errors

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword anymore; it’s a real crisis facing both organizations and individuals alike. The temp-to-hire scenario is becoming commonplace, as it places temporary job seekers in the best possible position. It also gives employers a chance to review the candidate’s on-the-job abilities and career goals. For help finding talent with long-term potential, connect with PrideStaff Financial.

Signs of Burnout

It’s important to be observant of your teams: their behaviors, communication, and project output. If you see burnout, then it’s time to help ease the load. Look for things like low morale, high turnover, the domino effect of health issues among staff, like depression, high blood pressure, physical and mental exhaustion, and extensive sick leave. These are all signs of burnout. Below are areas in which you can bring in temporary staff.

Tax Season

Accounting firms and businesses with high tax-related workloads experience significant spikes in demand.

End of Year Reporting

These periods often require significant effort from finance teams, and temporary staff can help manage the workload.

Large Projects

Large-scale projects, like implementing new accounting systems or undergoing audits, can create temporary surges in workload.

Cover Absences

Stress on staff becomes more significant when they are stretched thin to cover for other colleagues’ absences. Consider filling the gap for sick leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, and long vacations.

Specialized Skills

Temporary tax specialists bring expertise to the firm without requiring long-term commitments.
