About Us

Welcome to Intervallum

We have substantial experience of working capital management, turnaround situations, Management Accounts preparation, Year-End Statutory Accounts & notes, fundraising, MBOs, Company sales, acquisitions & disposals and system implementation projects. Intervallum can assist your business whatever the challenges.

We work directly for companies but also assist some businesses via intermediaries such as Private Equity houses and banks, adding value from day one. If you are between CFOs, going through a permanent recruitment process or awaiting the completion of a new appointee’s notice period, Intervallum can act as a safe pair of hands and give continuity from old to new; safely keeping valuable knowledge within the business and creating a proper handover opportunity.

Perhaps you already have a Finance Director but you need to add more depth to the team for a specific project or through the Year-End process. You may be in a situation where you ideally want to promote your Financial Controller to become the Company’s next Finance Director but feel that they would have a better chance to succeed if they were mentored by an experienced CFO who has been a CIMA Mentor since 2014.

Whatever challenges you face, an experienced Interim CFO can assist in value creation by providing timely and relevant financial information to assist in the decision-making process for as long or short a period as required.

A Word From Our Clients

When the business began a management transition to a new senior management team. Paul provided financial support throughout this process, culminating in a management buy-out in June 2014. The fact that the bank was willing to complete this refinancing without the need for financial due diligence reflects the confidence that the bank had with the financial management of the business, led by Paul.
Chairman | Mills CNC Limited
Intervallum
During his time with the business, Paul proved to be a very safe pair of hands with extensive knowledge and wasn’t afraid to bring in improvements where necessary.
CEO | Hypnos Limited
Intervallum
Paul has been considered a valuable member of the leadership team and has helped in the turnaround and stabilization initiatives required at this time in the business. I would be happy to recommend his services.
Chair | Dywidag Limited
Intervallum
Paul proved to be a safe pair of hands and worked hard both on the refinancing and the on-going day-to-day financial business. He built a solid relationship with both the existing staff and suppliers. He brought a calm and considered approach to problems that arose during his tenure and was prepared to work long hours to get the job done.
Acting CEO | nmcn plc
Intervallum
Paul has played a central role in this extremely hectic financial period against a background in which he has had to manage the creditors against a very tight cash flow and negotiate (successfully) with the Crown to spread payment of our taxes over a longer period of time. The Board extended his initial 5-month contract in order to maintain continuity during this testing time for the company. Paul has demonstrated a calm and positive manner throughout this period instigating and managing the myriad of changes necessary when the finance function was relocated and the company refinanced.
Chief Executive Officer | CET Safehouse Limited
Intervallum
Paul was recommended to the company through the external private equity investor – his professionalism, experience, calmness and management ability were regarded highly.
Director/Company Secretary | CET Safehouse Limited
Intervallum
Paul worked at my client’s offices as Interim Finance Director and delivered real value to them at a time when they were experiencing significant business change. He proved to be extremely goal focussed and was able to deliver results beyond those which were expected. I would recommend Paul highly.

Paul has been a valued member of the Senior Management Team and to me personally and has contributed greatly to the continued development and success of the business.
Managing Director | The Intraining Group Limited
Intervallum
Paul joined the business as a result of the Company’s MBO from Renew Holdings plc on 19 September 2005. He reflected the terms of this MBO within the books and performed the consolidation for the new holding company. Paul undertook a benchmarking exercise with our insurance policies and achieved a premium reduction in excess of 50%. Also, on the financial closure of a £100m PFI contract he negotiated a £10m performance bond premium of 0.8% with a commercial surety compared with the 2.5% the company had used previously via their bankers. During a later refinancing, Paul had involvement in the Vendor Due Diligence, Legal Due Diligence and Insurance Due Diligence as well as with the shareholder’s advisors. During his time with the business, it had grown from a turnover of £89m to a of £200m. All accounts were completed, and the packs sent out to the respective stakeholders within a 28 day deadline every month without fail.
Managing Director | Bullock Construction Limited
Intervallum
Paul worked with me to complete the £20m buy-out of Eurotel Ltd in 2005 and is capable of delivering results in any industry sector and worked tirelessly and diligently to maintain the progress of Eurotel through the buy-out.
