The medical company Qufora develops, produces and distributes medical equipment for bowel and bladder care and has collaborated with Pivot Partner since Qufora’s start in 2009. CFO Michael Sorth says:
From external CFO to compliance partner
“Karin was one of the very first external key people in charge of our finances. She ensured that our finances and reporting were strong, both internally and in the dialogue with the bank. At the beginning, Karin functioned almost as our CFO. But as we grew and built up our internal finance function, her role changed to controller, and today she is our compliance partner. It has been an ongoing adaptation to our needs all along.”
When something works, we don’t change it.
“Qufora has become a significantly larger company, and we could have chosen to take compliance in-house a long time ago. But there are some things that just have to work: VAT, tax, payroll. The risk of moving it in-house is greater than the gain. As long as it works, there is no point in changing it. We will not work together for almost 20 years if it does not work well.”
It gives peace of mind when important areas are handled correctly
“It gives us immense peace of mind knowing that these important areas are being handled correctly. I won’t speculate on that – it’s reliable. And if something is urgent, it’s always possible to get hold of Karin or the team, and she ensures that her people do things properly.”
An open and trusting partnership
“We have always had a completely open dialogue – also about the long-term things like resources, capacity and even the future and pension. It is a partnership where we know each other, talk honestly and continuously adjust the tasks to suit our needs and Pivot Partner’s availability. That relationship and transparency means a lot. Pivot Partner ensures that things work – and it gives me and the organization time to focus on operations and growth.”
