What Clients Say

I’ve worked with Jeff for over 20 years across multiple companies and industries, and he has consistently proven himself as a trusted, high-impact leader. At Walz Group, a California-based tech-enabled operational business that was recognized in the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies in the US for 3 consecutive years, Jeff played a pivotal role on the executive team.  He led both operations and finance through a period of rapid growth, restructured the business, strengthened its operational foundations and significantly improved its financial accounting and reporting processes.

We partnered again when he led operational and financial due diligence on data platform ventures, serving as fractional CFO for a SaaS company that grew from a Raleigh-based startup to operate in multiple countries on multiple continents, supporting it all the way through its successful acquisition a few years later by a Global Fortune 500 company.

Jeff melds operational excellence with deep financial expertise, and is known for his tremendous reliability, relentless work ethic, and exemplary ethical and business integrity making him an invaluable partner to any leadership team.

We engaged Robert when we needed deeper financial insight and experienced guidance to move our business forward. A fractional CFO proved to be exactly the right fit.

From the outset, Robert took the time to understand our business and quickly made an impact. His thoughtful, deliberate approach led to clear, actionable recommendations, and he became a trusted member of our leadership team, contributing well beyond the finance function. His experience and insight shone throughout the engagement.

Most importantly, Robert helped us uncover a significant hidden issue in our financial health and guided us toward a path forward—something we will always be grateful for. He also developed our first-ever budget, immediately improving decision-making and increasing visibility into potential risks. Bringing on our Rankin McKenzie partner was an absolute game-changer for us.

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.
