Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

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.

What drew us to Rankin and McKenzie was the ability to onboard talent like Phil Sandy in a fractional model. As a small business owner, it is always challenging to time and deploy capital effectively for new hires, particularly those in overhead positions. The fractional model allowed us to interview and select a CFO well-versed in our industry, challenges, and financial model and ultimately swing way above our weight class.

When we chose Phil, we knew he would step in and drive improvements and process changes in our back office and finance department. What we didn’t expect was his ability to drive transformational changes across the entire business, even when outside the natural purview of a CFO. His impact has been immense and we know there is still untapped potential in the relationship that we intend to explore in the coming years.

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.

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.

Our experience has been amazing with Anna.  As a small, but growing, tech startup, using a fractional resource from Rankin McKenzie was a perfect fit for our size company.  After hearing Anna’s heart and past experience, I didn’t hesitate to hire her.  She truly listens, advises, and delivers on-time, quality work.  As a female leader, I personally appreciate working with another female advisor that treats me as equal and does not talk down to me.  Anna was able to help us “grow up” with our financial reporting, including switching over to GAAP reporting and assisting with the budgeting and planning processes.  With Anna’s help, our company is positioned for continued and sustained growth.

We are incredibly grateful for the partnership we’ve had with Rankin McKenzie. Their expertise and support have been invaluable to us throughout our collaboration. In particular, working with Todd has been an absolute pleasure. Over the past few months, his contributions, especially during the due diligence and transition period, have been essential to our success. His professionalism, knowledge, and unwavering dedication made him an indispensable asset to our team. We can’t recommend him and Rankin McKenzie highly enough!

I’ve had the fortune of working with Andrew at three different life science companies, all at different stages of growth, including during multiple complex equity and debt financings.  Andrew brings an ability to assess where an organization is currently situated, both financially and operationally, and the perspective of where the organization needs to improve in order to scale for growth.  He has demonstrated a solid ability to build strong teams while also being willing to roll-up his sleeves to get the work out.  I have greatly appreciated his knack for addressing potential challenges early and with well-researched solutions.  He has also demonstrated a high-level of stress tolerance and imparts a sense of calm to those around him.

Martin played a pivotal role in Phononic’s recent transformation. As a member of the executive team, he led improvements in financial reporting, cost management, and operational efficiency, supporting our transition in business model from one-time hardware sales to integrated cooling solutions with recurring revenue for AI datacenters. His strategic insight and financial leadership directly contributed to our company’s strengthened financial health, cash management, and profitability.

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!

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.
