When I joined AgBiome Innovations as the commercial director in 2013, Andrew was already on board as the CFO. He proved to be a valuable asset in numerous ways during the next 6 years that I worked with him. He has excellent communication skills; always used clear concise messaging to my group regarding budgeting and financial requirements and results. Andrew is very knowledgeable of the financial reporting requirements for startups, and his interest in our business was very useful. Andrew also assisted my team on a product and company acquisitions effort, as well as a multiple equity funding rounds. My team was very comfortable in working with Andrew and had a tremendous amount of respect for him. Finally, Andrew makes people feel very comfortable in work situations which in turn makes them want to help him in any way possible.
I want to praise our experience working with Beth Mullaney. She was very thorough and communicative from the beginning and took the time to fully understand our needs before recommending our contractual CFO Tom to support our company. Overall, we have had an outstanding experience working with Rankin McKenzie.
What a tremendous asset Mike Rowe has been to our firm. Our consulting engineering firm is over 46 years old but had never had a true financial professional on staff and so the fractional CFO fit our needs perfectly. Mike spent a great deal of time and effort in the beginning to understand every aspect of our business, not just the financial data. His goal was clearly to make sure his input was customized to our firm. With this background, he helped us create metrics and KPIs to understand both what our current financial health was and what trends in the data showed us about the future. This is information we never had before, and it has helped us reinforce our culture of personal responsibility and accountability. With his help and guidance, we have been able to grow our firm’s revenue by more than 35% over the last two years with significant increases in profitability, and we have increased our staff by 20%, all during a global pandemic! We now exceed the top performers in our industry in almost every measurable financial metric.
Hire what you aren’t proficient in! We were thrilled to have CFO Richard McGivney join our United Drug Supply Inc. team!
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.
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.
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!
Beth is a fantastic partner! She is extremely responsive, intentional, and trustworthy. I refer clients to her because I know that she will be a valuable resource for them, even if the immediate opportunity is not a fit. She is a joy to work with!
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.
Debbie came to us when we needed an outside look at a company’s finances during a turnaround effort, and with cash at a premium, we needed someone to be efficient. My firm lacked visibility into how the company might be struggling, and she brought good clarity to the situation, providing answers quickly. She helped my client’s company find its footing. With her efficiency and a better understanding of the company’s financial health, she’s since been able to further help with budgeting. My clients entrusted me to bring in the right professional to assist their finance team, and Debbie was the right fit. She doesn’t make assumptions and asks great questions as she understands each company is unique. Debbie is not aggressive, threatening, or heavy handed at all; she lets the data speak for itself. She’s very responsive and approachable. All these characteristics make her a truly valuable team member.
