MEGIN

When an Unexpected Challenge Hits

MEGIN Oy, a leading manufacturer of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) devices, operates globally with its main operations in Finland. As the company was undergoing a complex accounting system transition, they faced an unexpected challenge: their financial controller in Finland went on sudden leave.

MEGIN’s Corporate CFO, Rick Goepfert, was in a tough spot. "We were already handling a challenging system conversion when we lost our key finance person in Finland. I’m located in U.S., seven time zones away, and we urgently needed someone who could step in and take control."

A Fast and Reliable Solution

Fortunately, MEGIN was already working with Gallant for HR services, and their consultant immediately suggested an interim CFO from Gallant. Within days, Gallant’s Financial Advisor Teemu Jokisuu was onboarded.

"Teemu came in without hesitation, adapted quickly, and got to work. Even though he wasn’t initially familiar with our accounting system, he took the initiative, learned what was necessary, and kept everything running smoothly. He managed financial reporting, worked with our external partners, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks," Rick explains.

From a Temporary Solution to a Trusted Partnership

Beyond stabilizing the financial operations, Teemu also documented all key processes, ensuring a seamless transition when a new permanent controller was hired.

"I expected I’d have to be much more hands-on, but Teemu took charge. He worked independently, kept me updated, and made sure our new hire had a structured handover. That level of professionalism and initiative made all the difference."

For MEGIN, Gallant has proven to be more than just a service provider — they are a trusted partner.

"We’ve worked with Gallant in HR, payment management and now in finance, and both experiences have been excellent. If you need expert interim financial support or want to outsource financial functions, Gallant is a great choice. They step in quickly, understand your business, and get things done."
