Hands-On Operational Support: Getting a Dance School Paid on Time

The situation

Iwanson International is one of Europe's leading contemporary dance schools, based in Munich. World-class in its field — and quietly struggling with the basics of finance operations. Invoicing was slow, accounts receivable were patchy, and cash collection was inconsistent. The admin team was stretched. Nobody had the time or specific expertise to sort it out properly.

What we did

Peak deployed Andrea, a member of our finance support team, on-site one to one-and-a-half days per week. She took over day-to-day invoicing, managed accounts receivable, and ran the dunning process to ensure payments came in on time. No strategy, no reporting frameworks — just competent, consistent execution of the finance admin that was falling through the cracks.

The result

Cash flow stabilised. The admin team was no longer carrying a function it was not equipped to handle. The school could focus on teaching.

Peak Consulting is not only a fractional CFO service. We also provide hands-on finance and admin support for organisations that do not need strategic finance leadership but do need competent, reliable execution. This case is a good illustration of that. The right level of support for the actual problem — not the most expensive level available.
