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.
Robert McKenzie, our former Rankin McKenzie part-time CFO, became an essential member of our management team. Not only was he able to learn our industry quickly, he made improvements across multiple departments, increased efficiencies and helped us expand and grow to new heights. Our RM CFO was a true leader in our company, Majestic Marble and Glass, for six years.
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.
Kathy began serving as Biospatial’s fractional CFO during our first year in business in 2017. After working with Kathy for 5+ years now, I believe the decision to contract Kathy was one of the best decisions we have made since founding. The success of a business hinges on successful execution in all parts of the business. Kathy has successfully managed all of our activities related to AR/AP, accounting, taxes, employee benefits, banking, and cash management, including helping us to navigate periods where cash was lean. Kathy is always responsive, thorough, and efficient. She is easy to work with and enjoys to have fun and laugh. It would be tough to find a fractional CFO who delivers a higher value than Kathy continues to deliver for Biospatial.
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.
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.
Working with Anna as our fractional CFO has been awesome. Joining our team in 2020 during a challenging transition, Anna came in and did wonders to tidy up our accounting department. She’s not just a financial whiz but also a great support for our sales team, helping with forecasts and projections. Every chat with Anna is delightful – she’s clear, strategic, encouraging, and wonderfully kind. Plus, she does a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps our day-to-day running smoothly. Anna’s a crucial part of our team, and we couldn’t do what we do without her!
I have had the opportunity to work closely with Kim, and she has been outstanding in every respect. She has an exceptional command of financial data and a deep understanding of performance, budgeting, and operational efficiency. Kim consistently analyzes complex information, identifies opportunities, and implements strategies that directly improve profitability.
Through her work, she has played a key role in transforming my companies into more profitable, well-run operations. She is detail-oriented, dependable, and highly strategic, while also being collaborative and easy to work with across teams.
Kim is someone I trust with critical financial and operational matters. Her persistence, insight, and commitment have made her an invaluable partner, and she is now a top priority in my business. I would confidently recommend her to any organization seeking a knowledgeable, driven, and results-oriented professional.
NCEPS completed a state employment audit and passed with flying colors thanks to Jaye McDermott, our Rankin McKenzie part-time Controller. In fact, the auditors’ visit was very short as she was so impressed with our books and records. We have been very pleased with our RM resource and feel like she is an integral part of our team. We have enjoyed her support and look forward to a continued strong relationship.
