Michael Giamoni

Partner

Mike has been a pleasure to work with and has brought lots of great ideas to our growing company. His laid-back personality blends well with our team. What I appreciate most about Mike is his willingness to teach and ensure that everyone understands the “why” behind what we’re doing.

Firebird Sign Company was launched in 2024 as a startup signage business, backed by a veteran team—but we lacked a senior financial officer. After researching the value of a fractional CFO and receiving a glowing recommendation from one of Mike’s former clients, I reached out to Rankin McKenzie specifically with the hope of working with Mike.

The onboarding process exceeded expectations. Mike very attentively sought to understand our needs and ensured he could dedicate the right amount of time and attention. Since partnering with him, Mike has successfully led our QuickBooks Online implementation and played a critical role in launching and integrating our new ERP system.

Mike is a true coaching professional who brings out the best in those around him. He represents Firebird with professionalism and precision in interactions with our private equity sponsor and has been instrumental in our first-year success. His local network has also been a major asset—connecting us with tax partners and helping us explore line-of-credit opportunities with local banks.
