For over a decade, the consortium we were part of managed its finances internally. After bringing Todd on board, we realized there were missed opportunities we hadn’t noticed before. Thanks to Todd’s hands-on management, not only have we stopped losing money, but our returns have also improved significantly. It’s a huge relief knowing that someone with such diverse experience is handling things. Looking back, my only regret is that we didn’t make this change sooner.
Huge thanks to Beth for an incredibly timely introduction. The team she connected us with brought exactly the expertise we needed and jumped in right away to help get our project back on track.
It’s clear that Beth has cultivated a powerful network of knowledgeable, responsive, and collaborative professionals. We’re truly grateful for the support!

When the company moved responsibility for accounting from a venture fund into the company, Kim took over as acting CFO, and we never had a problem with accounting after that. We never had to worry about whether reports or tasks were going to be completed on time or with good quality. Overall, Kim was quite pleasant to work with as well as serious about making sure the accounting in the business was being done correctly.
Our Rankin McKenzie Controller, Jaye McDermott, went above and beyond on this assignment. She inherited a challenging accounting department with some infrastructure and staff issues and proceeded to jump right into a due diligence process. She deserves tremendous credit for stabilizing and positioning the company for acquisition and now for further success.
Following the departure of a previous consultant, Alex took over the roll of DHIC’s Finance/HR Consultant and was able to step in and sort through everything on her own in order to keep us functioning without any down time. Alex is thoughtful in her approach and thorough in her research of systems and processes. She is easy to work with, and I trust and respect the input she provides in our Finance/HR area. We look forward to our continued relationship with Alex as a trusted business partner.
Jaye has been an invaluable and impactful resource for us. Although she stepped in to support us during a staff transition period, she was able to quickly get up to speed with current systems, processes, and procedures and provided trustworthy and skilled support. While the new Finance and HR director acclimated, she helped maintain all the financial functions and meet important deadlines. She reviewed our existing structures and policies and has stayed on to implement changes and provide guidance and insightful feedback. She has a great grasp and able to articulate big picture needs and goals while being willing to get in the weeds, doing anything she can to support. She cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them succeed. She’s a pleasure to work with, and I am grateful for her partnership and mentorship.
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.
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.
Beth is an excellent resource in the business community with her people and networking skills. She knows how to skillfully pitch so to make the biggest impact for all parties involved. She has high ethics and gains the trust and confidence of her peers and coworkers. She is a high-level performer and a valuable asset.
