Langdon & Company LLP has had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Alex Duhon on several mutual not-for-profit clients. Alex is diligent, hard-working and conscientious about her work product and about her commitment to the client. She always has the client’s best interest in mind. We have enjoyed getting to know Alex and always look forward to working with her.
Our company has been experiencing many changes and our RM Partner, Steve Weiner has helped us navigate these waters with grace. His flexibility and availability has been invaluable, and we always feel like a priority. It has been exciting working on the Cycle Labs launch with him, and we are looking forward to continuing our work with Steve post-launch.
Rich has been a critical part of our success at Susteon. His integrity, work ethic and attention to detail are exemplary. Not only has he effectively managed the government accounting for multiple DOE and commercial projects, but he has also been a true CFO to guide us with cash flow, future investments and getting us through the Covid-19 downturn. He has been a great mentor and advisor to me. He is a pleasure to work with.
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.
Though we were not ready to hire a full-time CFO, we sure were glad to have the assistance of Alex Duhon every week. Alex served as CFOH’s part-time controller, keeping the numbers in line so we could continue to fly kids. We loved having her as part of our crew!
Mike has been a pleasure to work with and has brought lots of great ideas to our growing company. His laid-back personality blends well with our team. What I appreciate most about Mike is his willingness to teach and ensure that everyone understands the “why” behind what we’re doing.

Jeff is a true professional whom I trust and respect. He draws from his vast and diverse experience to find practical and actionable solutions. While serving as our CFO, Jeff built strong relationships throughout the company and became a trusted strategic advisor to the leadership team. He took the financial function at MedThink to the next level, quickly identified KPIs and developed models to measure them, as well as supported the company through a successful M&A process. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jeff.
What a tremendous asset Mike Rowe has been to our firm. Our consulting engineering firm is over 46 years old but had never had a true financial professional on staff and so the fractional CFO fit our needs perfectly. Mike spent a great deal of time and effort in the beginning to understand every aspect of our business, not just the financial data. His goal was clearly to make sure his input was customized to our firm. With this background, he helped us create metrics and KPIs to understand both what our current financial health was and what trends in the data showed us about the future. This is information we never had before, and it has helped us reinforce our culture of personal responsibility and accountability. With his help and guidance, we have been able to grow our firm’s revenue by more than 35% over the last two years with significant increases in profitability, and we have increased our staff by 20%, all during a global pandemic! We now exceed the top performers in our industry in almost every measurable financial metric.
Jon brought expertise to us on Day 1 and started immediately digging into the details. He helped us establish better accounting practices in a scalable way that supports our growth goals. Most importantly for us has been his flexibility with scheduling to work around our needs.
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. Jon Kennedy 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. Jon was a true partner and made a positive difference for our organization.
