Scott Farms had the pleasure of working with our Rankin McKenzie Partner as our CFO for over four years. Our Partner helped us with the restructuring of our finances and improved our cash. He helped us develop tools for reporting for our company financials, KPIs and cash flow which helped us to not just be in the best compliance possible but also helped us understand what happened and what was in front of us clearly. Mainly, our RM Partner cared about us in a personal and professional manner and mentored and challenged us to be even better. This relationship not only worked wonderfully but we have become close professional friends.

Kim Robinson provided all our accounting and financial needs including the creation of the monthly management accounts. She was a great person to have in the company, very much part of the team. She is a very detailed and accurate accountant and at the same time a very positive person. If ever the opportunity arose, I would have no hesitation in employing her again.

When the company moved responsibility for accounting from a venture fund into the company, Kim took over as acting CFO, and we never had a problem with accounting after that.  We never had to worry about whether reports or tasks were going to be completed on time or with good quality.  Overall, Kim was quite pleasant to work with as well as serious about making sure the accounting in the business was being done correctly.

Due to an unexpected medical situation, our CFO was going to miss 2 to 6 weeks of work – with little ability to communicate with us at all.  We contacted Rankin McKenzie and within a couple of days met with Angie, and she felt like a perfect fit.  She spent a few days with our CFO and quickly got up to speed.  It was a great comfort having her take over the day to day finances for a couple of months until our CFO was able to return to work full-time.

Tim’s leadership has been nothing short of essential to our success. Taking the financial helm of a portfolio company amid a major restructuring, his insight and experience helped transform the business from a point of great uncertainty to profitability and growth.  Tasked with navigating large operational, customer, and employee complexities, along with multiple investor groups, he quickly uncovered and solved some of our most challenging problems in a high-pressure environment. Tim was the missing link we didn’t know we needed – greatly exceeding our expectations and expanding the definition of a strategic CFO. He will be our go-to partner in the future.

John Griffin possesses a strong business acumen and a calm demeanor.  Beginning with my initial interaction with John, he possessed an impressive resume and exuded confidence quickly leading us to hire him.  He was instrumental in building our accounting function from the ground up while the company was in full operations. He became an integral member of our executive leadership team during a high growth period and provided exceptional support through our recent sale of the company. During the 5+ years he has supported our company, he has proven to be exceptionally valuable and exceeded our expectations.

Alex is reliable, accurate, and knowledgeable about nonprofit financials. MiracleFeet initially hired Alex when we had a transition in finance staff and needed immediate assistance to keep the bills paid and lights on! Alex jumped right in and was quick to learn our systems and processes while also providing great insight and feedback about ways we could improve. At the time, we were in the midst of an accounting software transition, and even though she hadn’t used the new software, she was eager to support us through that transition. Alex was so good that we have kept her on board even after we re-hired, and Alex now provides support on short-term projects as needed.

We have had an outstanding experience working with Tom Mense and Rankin McKenzie.  One of the things that I was most impressed with in working with Tom is his ability to help in a variety of ways.  From executive level consultation, to implementing accounting processes, to actual “in the books” controller duties – Tom can do it all.  He works well with every personality and exudes a high level of emotional intelligence.  He is very flexible with his schedule and works hard to accommodate schedules for everyone on the team.  Tom also delivers feedback in a way that is professional and supportive.  He does a great job of identifying areas of improvement and is fully engaged in creating solutions and implementing positive changes.  Above all, Tom worked diligently to make sure we were in great hands before his consultation period was completed.  Not only did he assist with the hiring process of team members within our financial dept., but he also went above and beyond to make sure those individuals received great training and support.  I highly recommend Tom’s services and am very grateful that we had the opportunity to learn from him.

Steve Carnevale has been an exceptional CFO for Reveal Mobile, demonstrating remarkable expertise and dedication. He successfully completed our financial audit and implemented numerous accounting processes and procedures, significantly enhancing our financial management. Steve’s efforts led to the creation of a robust financial reporting package and a comprehensive multi-year financial forecast. Moreover, he streamlined financial information for the board, ensuring clarity and efficiency in our reporting. His contributions have been invaluable, and he has greatly strengthened our financial operations.

As a fast-growing professional service firm, we were transitioning a very experienced controller into the CFO role. We needed someone who could bridge the gap as we sought a new controller and also serve as a mentor to our new CFO. Our Rankin McKenzie Partner was a perfect match. He collaborated with us on an appropriate scope of work to meet our goals and successfully assisted us through this transition period. Our Partner was a true partner and made a positive difference for our organization.
