We had the pleasure of working with Bethany Hong over the past 9 months, and her exceptional service and expertise made a significant impact on our company. Bethany provided valuable insights that improved our financial health, conducted thorough analyses of project profitability, and enhanced our financial systems for greater accuracy and efficiency. She identified opportunities for revenue growth and played a crucial role in preparing and presenting our financial statements, ensuring accuracy and clarity. Her ability to blend technical expertise with a genuine commitment to our success, along with outstanding leadership and communication skills, fostered a collaborative environment and proactive approach. Overall, Bethany exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend her services to any company seeking a top-tier fractional CFO.
We were extremely satisfied with Kim and her work. She settled in quickly and accomplished a great deal. The added bonus was that she quickly assimilated into our team and everyone enjoyed her presence. We were very pleased with the arrangement and will call your firm again should the need arise.
Director of Operations & Marketing
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.
Our Rankin McKenzie Partner has been a rock during this global pandemic. Whether it was building multiple versions of budgets or finding us a banking partner to acquire a PPP loan and low-interest loans, he always stayed focused and managed his task load. His insights and budgeting led us through the hardest six months of our nine year history. Our Partner and the entire team at Rankin McKenzie have an incredible company filled with dedicated professionals.
From the moment Angela joined our team, her impact has been both collaborative and transformative. Working closely with me, she has implemented efficient workflows for accounts payable, accounts receivable, budgeting, and reporting. She has developed and documented formal procedures for recurring financial tasks, ensuring both consistency and compliance across the department.
Angela has been instrumental in building realistic, strategic budgets that align with firm-wide objectives and in enhancing our ability to track and manage key performance indicators. Her efforts have resulted in faster processes, more strategic budgeting, and stronger, more insightful reporting.
In addition to her process improvements, Angela has led targeted training sessions for the finance team, equipping staff with the tools and knowledge to work with accuracy and confidence. She is consistently proactive in offering assistance and mentoring others on the team, helping each person leverage their strengths to contribute more effectively.
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.
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!
I will want to hire Steve as my CFO in every company I ever lead! I value his deep financial and business expertise which includes working with startups like ours. I leaned on him for his experience in complex funding and legal transactions. He was an integral part of our recent successful transaction with Truist. His focus on the details, process discipline and getting things done right were so needed in our company when we started.
These last 2.5 years have been a roller coaster of exciting highs and scary lows. Steve was always the voice of calm and reason. His team and his peers like and respect him. He guided us through those troubling times with an unwavering commitment and work ethic. We could not have done it without him!
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
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.
