EXPANDING OR INTEGRATING OPERATIONS IN ITALY?

Gain clarity and control when entering or scaling operations in Italy.
Entering or scaling in Italy often exposes a gap between local compliance and Group-level visibility, creating risk around control, continuity and decision-making. We step in to restore financial clarity, governance and control, ensuring reliable local execution aligned with Group requirements.

INTERIM FINANCE LEADERSHIP WITH HANDS-ON EXECUTION

We step in when permanent finance structures are not yet effective or are no longer fit for purpose. During post-transaction phases, including post-acquisition and carve-out scenarios, as well as periods of rapid growth or transformation, we combine senior judgement with direct, hands-on execution.
Our focus is on stabilising the Finance function, restoring clarity in reporting, and ensuring leadership teams have reliable, decision-ready information when timing and accuracy matter most.

Embedded, Not Advisory

FinDep Consult operates as an embedded finance leadership partner, working directly within the organisation and taking ownership of outcomes. Our approach is grounded in real operational environments and combines senior finance judgement with hands-on industry experience.
We work effectively with all key stakeholders: management, investors, Group functions, auditors, and advisors - understanding their respective priorities and requirements, and engaging with each in a language aligned to their perspective and objectives.

Professionalism and Recognition

Our approach is defined by recognised professional credentials, proven experience, and consistently high standards. We are trusted to operate with judgement, integrity, and reliability in complex and high-stakes environments.

About founder

Anastasia Aleksenko

FinDep Consult was founded after more than 25 years of experience in international corporate finance, with a clear focus on interim finance leadership and high-impact transformation assignments. The firm operates in situations where Finance must play a decisive role during periods of change, complexity, and heightened accountability.

I work in contexts where permanent structures are not yet effective or no longer fit for purpose, including post-transaction phases, rapid growth, restructuring, and international expansion. These environments require a rare combination of senior judgement, financial depth, leadership, and hands-on execution across both local and Group settings.

At FinDep Consult, clients benefit from:

Direct access to senior-level finance leadership, without intermediary layers
Focused, outcome-driven engagements, designed for complex and time-critical situations
Experience built in international and industrial environments, delivering clarity, control, and measurable impact
