What Clients Say

Layer_2.png

Jamie Wilkerson joined Spiffy as Interim CFO during one of the most challenging periods in our company’s history. At the time, we faced limited cash reserves, cash flow negative operations, strained vendor relationships, and a team uncertain about the future.

Jamie immediately stepped in as a true team player—bringing optimism, shrewd execution, and clear communication both internally and externally. Under her leadership, we executed over $10 million in annual cost savings across all major lines of the P&L, built and deployed a new financial reporting system that provided accurate cash contribution insights across 50+ internal sub-P&Ls, and successfully raised more than $13 million in new capital.

Her impact was transformative. Jamie combines strong financial acumen with pragmatic leadership, and she consistently demonstrated sound judgment and integrity throughout her tenure. She was excellent in all regards, and I highly recommend her for any CFO role.

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.

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.
