Our experience has been amazing with Anna. As a small, but growing, tech startup, using a fractional resource from Rankin McKenzie was a perfect fit for our size company. After hearing Anna’s heart and past experience, I didn’t hesitate to hire her. She truly listens, advises, and delivers on-time, quality work. As a female leader, I personally appreciate working with another female advisor that treats me as equal and does not talk down to me. Anna was able to help us “grow up” with our financial reporting, including switching over to GAAP reporting and assisting with the budgeting and planning processes. With Anna’s help, our company is positioned for continued and sustained growth.
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.
We had the pleasure of working with Bethany Hong from Rankin McKenzie, and she was an exceptional asset to our team. Bethany quickly mastered our software, conducted thorough financial analyses, and significantly improved our overall performance. Her professionalism, friendliness, and seamless integration into our team were outstanding. Although her contract was short-term, Bethany made a lasting positive impact. We highly recommend Bethany and the excellent services provided by Rankin McKenzie.
Beth Mullaney is thoughtful in utilizing her network to benefit others. In the end, she can listen, identify and find a solution to a problem. Regardless of whether they be short or long term solutions, she is engaged throughout the process to ensure that everyone is happy with the outcome and that there will be a true benefit to the client. She is strategic, highlights her team, and has successfully grown the service offerings along with becoming a partner in the organization. She is a visionary that can take on implementation and execution. I am glad Beth is part of my network and someone I respect for guidance.
During the past three years of working with Larry, his strategic guidance has been invaluable to our company, and he has positioned us for continued growth. For example, Larry created a detailed ROI analysis of all of our services, which helped us become more profitable. In addition, he completed financial models to assist us with capital equipment purchases.
Larry is always eager to help and support us, even when he’s not in the office. Larry’s professionalism, strong business acumen, experience and connections in the financial community combined with his integrity, work ethic and attention to detail make him an outstanding partner. I am grateful to be able to work with him.
Alex has been crucial to our success and immense growth as an organization. With Alex’s exceptional knowledge of non-profit organizations and professionalism, we did not hesitate to hire her to help us grow as a company like no one had before. Alex is conscientious, fair, and diligent. She has moved us from cash to accrual accounting, assisted in training staff, supported the development of detailed budgets and financial statements, participated in several hirings, and has helped us increase the timeliness of our reporting.
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.
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.
Director of Finance and Operations
I have really appreciated the expertise and professionalism Kathy Huff brings as we operate the company, especially under the many challenges we have faced in the last year. Her tutelage of our administrative lead has also provided her with the professional development opportunities she deserves.
In addition to all this, I was so impressed with the awesome effort Kathy put in on our behalf regarding PPP, we truly could not have done this without her. Kathy is a valued member of our team.
Jaye has made my life so much easier. Prior to coming in, I was trying to do the job of multiple people. She has taken so much off my plate, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She is very good at explaining to everyone exactly what she needs. We have a pretty tricky accounting system that we struggle to use. While I can tell it’s frustrating, she powers on and continues to successfully get the information she needs out of it. She has gotten our books straightened out and got us doing things we were never doing before. I appreciate her every day and am so glad we decided to go with Rankin McKenzie. Jaye is the perfect person for our business.
