Kim is a tremendous asset to Disruptive Process Solutions. She’s allowed myself and the rest of our team to stay focused on what we do best – technical solutions for food and beverage manufacturing. Since working with Kim, she’s helped define and tune our accounting system setup to ensure we have visibility into our company’s financial strengths and weaknesses so we can find ways to improve our bottom line. Part of this effort was helping us establish proper client on-boarding and workflows to ensure we’re properly leveraging our software. From a legal perspective, she assisted in connecting and implementing with legal and benefit improvements. She’s assisted us and provided great foresight into the benefits of different corporate structures and state filings. She also assisted us with implementing benefits for our company by finding a benefit provider as well as selecting the right coverage for our company.
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.
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.
Beth Mullaney is thoughtful in utilizing her network to benefit others. In the end, she can listen, identify and find a solution to a problem. Regardless of whether they be short or long term solutions, she is engaged throughout the process to ensure that everyone is happy with the outcome and that there will be a true benefit to the client. She is strategic, highlights her team, and has successfully grown the service offerings along with becoming a partner in the organization. She is a visionary that can take on implementation and execution. I am glad Beth is part of my network and someone I respect for guidance.
All of us at Meryx liked working with Lynne. When I decided to retire, Lynne took over my position and did it seamlessly. After Meryx was purchased, Lynne was instrumental in helping do all the necessary accounting work for the merger and also continued on to make sure the new company had everything at their fingertips for a smooth transition. The things I like the most about Lynne is that she is very easy to work with and most importantly is very good at what she does professionally as a CPA. Lynne was a delight to work with. I would hire her again in a flash.

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.
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.
Our company has been experiencing many changes and our RM Partner, Steve Weiner has helped us navigate these waters with grace. His flexibility and availability has been invaluable, and we always feel like a priority. It has been exciting working on the Cycle Labs launch with him, and we are looking forward to continuing our work with Steve post-launch.
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.
