Not every staffing need requires a full-time hire.

Your team may need experienced financial support for a specific function, a limited number of hours, or a defined period of time. Hiring full-time for that need can add salary, benefits, onboarding, and management costs that continue long after the immediate need has passed.

Get the support your business office needs, without adding a full-time position.

CFO Colleague provides flexible higher education finance support for the work your existing team can’t cover on its own. With Gap Staffing, an experienced higher ed finance professional steps in remotely for the hours and functions you need. Cover the gap without adding unnecessary salary, benefits, onboarding, or management costs.
Bring in finance support that already knows higher ed.
Keep work moving when your team is at capacity.
Use experienced support only when the work requires it.
Prevent deadlines from turning into emergencies.
