Success Stories from Satisfied Clients

Tim has truly been a transformative force for our business. He is so much more than a finance partner, as he has also been an invaluable resource, mentor, and thought and strategic partner dedicated to our success. Tim stepped into extremely challenging and difficult times – post-acquisition with a high amount of change and volatility.

His keen attention to detail and experience has helped me navigate through complex business and financial decisions. In times of uncertainty, Tim provided steady guidance, with strategic financial planning that have positioned us for growth. Beyond the numbers, Tim has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our success by aligning financial strategies with a unique team fit and overarching business goals. His personalized approach distinguishes Tim as a true and invaluble partner.

Engaging Tim is the best decision I’ve made stepping in as a new CEO.

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.

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.

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.

When DHIC had a sudden opening for our Controller position, Betty Larose stepped in, took on the role with minimal guidance, and immediately proved how much of a self-starter she is with learning about our industry and nuances of tax credit and bond funding. She also took on some specialized reporting required by our funders, figured out the system on her own, and created a much better method for handling the process.  Betty fits in perfectly as a member of our small finance team of six, always having a pleasant attitude and ready to help in any area we need it.  Her work ethic is exceptional and that, combined with her experience and the quality of her work deliverables, makes Betty the perfect partner for our team.

Robert McKenzie, our former Rankin McKenzie part-time CFO, became an essential member of our management team. Not only was he able to learn our industry quickly, he made improvements across multiple departments, increased efficiencies and helped us expand and grow to new heights. Our RM CFO was a true leader in our company, Majestic Marble and Glass, for six years.

When our original CFO could no longer continue with us, we found ourselves in the middle of complex acquisition discussions and in urgent need of an experienced financial partner. We needed someone who could not only step in quickly but also dig into five years’ worth of transactions and financial planning to help guide us through a critical transition.

Andrew Graham did exactly that—and more. He dove into our financials with clarity and confidence, quickly getting up to speed and helping us make sense of a complicated situation. Acquisitions and due diligence are inherently stressful, but Andrew’s steady leadership and insight made the process far more manageable. He was a trusted partner every step of the way.

Thanks to Andrew’s support, we successfully sold the company. His contributions were instrumental, and we’re incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication.

Rankin McKenzie takes a measured approach to selecting and vetting partners. We discover many new Partners via referrals from existing Partners or actively recruiting top CFOs, each with a minimum of 15 years of experience.

We look for a career history of success, necessary certifications and education, plus conduct personality analyses to ensure they’re a pleasure to work with and have the necessary leadership skills.

Finally, each candidate is interviewed by our Managing Partners with only the top candidates joining us as Partners.

A cost-effective alternative to a full-time hire, as you receive a seasoned CFO for only the time you need.
