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.
