Why choose dieSaremas?

5 things your should know about us.

1. What makes dieSaremas different?

dieSaremas are experienced interim managers with a focus on finance. We have many years of background as executives in the industry or banking environment.

With our approach geared towards successful implementation and a holistic view of companies, we find long-term solutions that guarantee sustainable business success.

We implement our concepts, also in the roles of a managing director, CFO or financial manager. We won’t leave you alone.

The best and smartest concepts are of little use if they end up in a drawer and are never implemented.

We develop a long-term business plan with you and hold talks with banks and investors. We not only plan the reorientation, we also implement it. Due to decades of experience as interim managers, we can refer to numerous successful projects with verifiable and sustainable success.

2. Where does the name dieSaremas come from?

Our original core business was turnaround and reorganization management. Our business name abbreviates the words “Sanierung” (turnaround) and “Reorganisations-Management” (reorganization). Since initially coming up with that name, we have grown, both in terms of substance and personnel. Today, as a full service provider in finance, we offer a significantly larger range of services. So, the letters M and A stand for M&A as well. Add the article “die” (the), and you have our name: dieSaremas.

3. How much does it cost to consult dieSaremas?

Depending on your specific starting position and target definition, we’re happy to provide you with an individual quote. Our offers are targeted to your specific needs. Our standard offers can be supplemented with individual add-ons depending on your needs and situation. Or you can get a completely customized implementation package.

In some situations we’re happy to work largely on a success-based basis, for example in the case of investor searches.

4 How long does a dieSaremas assignment take?

That depends primarily on how your company is set up. If we actively implement a change process in the form of interim management, it could take a few months. If your main concern is analysis of the situation, it might just be a few days.

5. What else you should know

dieSaremas are an interim management boutique with a focus on financial management services. Our meanwhile 20 partners are mainly active as interim managers in functions as commercial directors , CFOs , controllers or in accounting.

Our experts bring extensive experience in the M&A environment, both on the buyer and seller side. We support you with investor searches , onboarding of investors, post-merger integration but also carve-outs.

We also have restructuring and reorganization experts on board who cover everything from preventive reorganization to turnaround management in the event of insolvency.

We support our customers with the reorganization of finance departments, digitization projects in finance, the development of cost accounting and order calculation, the implementation of the IFRS standards, the introduction of ESG and the implementation of ERP software.

Our strength is undoubtedly the focus on implementation.

We don’t advise, we implement.

Our team consists exclusively of managers with many years of leadership experience, mostly in the industry sector.

Why is implementation competence so important?

Many companies simply lack the management capacity to implement complex new projects. Occasionally there is a lack of experience when it comes to special projects or challenges that do not occur permanently. Such as a search for investors, or a restructuring. Consulting and advisory services often do not help. Knowing about the need to implement a project is of little use if you lack the capacity or know-how to get it started.

We often see great and very smartly worked out concepts from consulting firms in companies, which then end up in a drawer because nobody has time to implement them. Especially apart from the operative business. We also implement our concepts. And we implemen concepts of consultants who were active before us, if we can agree with the terms of content.

What our customer value.

After the acquisition of Frauenthal Powertrain GmbH, Mr. Josef Kainz managed the post-merger process and ensured the smooth transition from a large group structure to the new owner’s independently operating business units. Kainz set up an accounting and payroll department and separated the IT systems from the large corporation. Simultaneously, he launched a profit optimization program with the management team and secured the confidence of the banks.

Mr. Kaiser came on board during a stormy period, in which our CFO had also left us. He spontaneously took on the role of interim CFO and, as a member of the management team, coordinated with banks, the restructuring administrator and key suppliers. With his experience and calm approach, he managed to earn the trust of both suppliers and employees.

When I needed an interim CFO for a 300 million euro company in the German FMCG sector to cover maternity leave, I immediately chose Josef Kainz. He rapidly familiarized himself with the corporate environment and led the financial carve-out of Unilever, the go-live process of S4 / HANA and energetically supported me in the management of the demanding private equity owner.

During our time together at Soravia Group, Mr. Kaiser familiarized himself with his complex areas of responsibility within a very short time and implemented the necessary restructuring measures quickly and consistently. He made a significant contribution to the realignment of the company and the successful conclusion of the financing negotiations.

We would like to thank Mr. Kainz for his expert commitment and motivating work style, which he applied in supporting the Semsysco GmbH team through a strong growth phase. We particularly appreciated his quick perception in combination with an ability to always have the right and, above all, feasible concepts at hand and to ensure their implementation.

Mr. Josef Kainz spontaneously stepped in when there was an urgent need to fill the position of global CFO. Within a very short time, he familiarized himself with our global automotive supplier group and its worldwide production network. Mr. Kainz prepared the forecast and budget and coordinated a relocation project. He managed relationships with the banking consortium and the international management teams with a steady hand.

I got to know Jürgen as an executive manager with impressive transaction know-how and excellent connections to the international banking and investment sector. He quickly adapted to both local and SAMSUNG culture, learned the language and made significant achievements in implementing and structuring the first major European SAMSUNG PPP project in healthcare.

Mr. Josef Kainz was interim commercial director and CFO of the BEKO Group. He implemented a transparent divisional income statement and rolling cash flow planning. He managed a generation change in the management team and reorganized the finance department. In addition, he guided projects in the M&A context. His implementation strength and high level of social competence were outstanding.

In his interim role as CFO, Jürgen Kaiser was my main contact for commercial issues during my time as restructuring administrator in one of the largest insolvencies of 2018 in Upper Austria. Despite the difficult general conditions, his calm approach and strong focus on the people of the company contributed significantly to a successful turnaround.

Mr. Kaiser accompanied us in a very difficult corporate phase as interim CFO. Within a few months he sold a corporate shareholding to an investor and a property in Eastern Europe in a difficult environment. Without his extensive transaction experience and large network, this would not have been possible in such a short time.

We worked with Mr Kaiser on a joint transaction in a difficult environment, where he stepped in as interim CFO at short notice. He familiarised himself with the complex matter in an enormously short time. In several night meetings, which were necessary due to the time pressure, we also got to know his tireless commitment and perseverance.

Thanks to the commitment of Oliver Strass, we were able to achieve our financial goals despite the departure of our long-standing finance manager. As Interim Finance Manager, Oliver Strass successfully carried out an SAP integration for us. Thanks to his personal commitment, the day-to-day business was not only completed smoothly and on schedule, but even further improved.

Mr. Kaiser took over the interim management of a new holding company for the State of Lower Austria at short notice. The goal was the rapid takeover of a partial operation, including the transfer of the nextbike bicycle fleet. Within a few weeks, Mr. Kaiser succeeded in transferring the partial operation, conducting negotiations with the seller, finalizing the purchase agreement, and organizing the relocation as well as drawing up the new employee contracts.
