Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

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.

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.

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.

I have worked with John in different companies over the last 20 years and would eagerly do so again. I have worked with other Chief Financial Officers, but John is the cream of the crop when it comes to being a true partner to the functions of human resources and employee engagement. He understands the power of leveraging employee engagement to advance the business and improve the bottom line. For more than two decades, John has been my trusted partner with whom I could analyze issues, deliberate options and then create solutions while maintaining our commitments to stakeholders, including our employees.

In addition to being an exceptional partner, John has been a outstanding mentor to me. John not only provides the answer but will also provide the explanation that has allowed me to grow in my understanding of financial and accounting principles. While this has been personally rewarding, it has also allowed me to bring better ideas forward to benefit the company. John makes the people around him better.

I’ve worked with Jeff for over 20 years across multiple companies and industries, and he has consistently proven himself as a trusted, high-impact leader. At Walz Group, a California-based tech-enabled operational business that was recognized in the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies in the US for 3 consecutive years, Jeff played a pivotal role on the executive team.  He led both operations and finance through a period of rapid growth, restructured the business, strengthened its operational foundations and significantly improved its financial accounting and reporting processes.

We partnered again when he led operational and financial due diligence on data platform ventures, serving as fractional CFO for a SaaS company that grew from a Raleigh-based startup to operate in multiple countries on multiple continents, supporting it all the way through its successful acquisition a few years later by a Global Fortune 500 company.

Jeff melds operational excellence with deep financial expertise, and is known for his tremendous reliability, relentless work ethic, and exemplary ethical and business integrity making him an invaluable partner to any leadership team.

We turned to Rankin McKenzie as we needed some financial help, primarily with setting up budget templates.  Having Andrew Graham join MyCovia as our part-time CFO was an easy decision.  We appreciated how professional Andrew is as he’s very responsive and stays on track with tasks.  As a result, the work he’s done will allow our business leaders and finance team to better monitor trends and budget to actuals going forward.  Overall, Andrew is great to work with and super easy going.

We brought in Todd to help keep our financial operations afloat as we had several team members leave all at once. He came in and helped stabilize our operations almost immediately while simultaneously helping us to hire replacements effectively. Todd positively impacted our finance operations, and we brought him back for a few different projects. Todd helped me feel comfortable about our financials and allowed me to focus more on operations and our customers. I would wholeheartedly work with Todd again and would recommend him highly.

Lisa has really helped get our business over the bump. Her experience in owning and operating a small business has been exceptionally valuable to our expansion. She has an excellent ability to understand the needs of the business owner and the direction they want to take their business. She is wonderful while training other employees and helping guide them during the learning process. She has made my life so much easier and can somehow even know what I am going to need before I even need it. I believe we are lucky to have her knowledge and expertise and am grateful to Rankin McKenzie for pairing us together.

Due to the growth of our firm over many years, we needed to improve numerous processes especially in our accounting/finance department in order to continue our success or I knew we would eventually retract. Our Rankin McKenzie Partner joined us at RKA approximately 4 years ago and brought to us a wealth of experience from various industries which helped to improve not only our accounting/finance team, but they also played a key role on our leadership team. They helped our firm greatly by developing and mentoring our Director of Accounting and Finance, recommended numerous growth strategies for his team, implemented processes to expedite our month-end closing, improved our reporting, started a new budgeting/forecasting process, took an active role as an ex-officio board member, and was also extremely beneficial to me during the acquisition of our firm by a private equity backed company. Our Partner was a steady hand during several difficult situations and provided good guidance which helped me in my decision making. I appreciate everything that our Partner has done not only for me but especially for our firm.

I have great appreciation, admiration, and gratitude for the excellent work that my RM Partner, Todd Ackman did for our company as our fractional CFO. We had some changes in Q3 and therefore had some complex financial operations that needed to be handled. Todd calmly prioritized critical tasks and through this succeeded in ensuring that there were zero interruptions to our business despite having no prior knowledge of our finances or operations and despite the fact that these had never been rigorously documented. Throughout his time working with us, Todd has been calm, professional, and above all, exceedingly competent. I was very quickly able to trust him to handle complex and business-critical matters during this period for our company.
