Testimonials

  • Our Rankin-McKenzie partner brought forth a sense of maturity, professionalism and accountability to our finance team. Without her, the finance department would be struggling to meets its day-to day tasks, rather than its current position of being prepared to move forward with its future. More importantly she provided a sense of assurance that the financial operations and financial reporting were something that could be relied upon.

    Channel Advisor, Manoj George, CFO
  • I view my Rankin McKenzie Controller as my business confidant. My employees also view her as an integral part of our team. She is always reachable via email or cell phone to handle anything that I may need her to take care of for us. She consistently provides me with quality financial reports that aid in me understanding my business better.
    HireNetworks, Inc., Craig C.Stone, CEO
  • Partner. That is the best word to describe how a CEO should view Rankin-McKenzie. They are not a vendor, supplier, or simply a service provider. They took a genuine interest in the success of my business. Our Rankin-McKenzie partner earned my trust and became my right-hand man and close confidant. Their diligence, persistency and enthusiasm to get results make them a true Partner!
    Field2Base, Inc., Kyle O’Brien, CEO
  • For a growing, business like ours, early stage fiscal planning and management is crucial. Rankin-McKenzie furnished the expert skill sets that specifically suited our business needs. Our CFO is available whenever we need, by phone or email. The dedicated interim CFO is a perfect fit for our business!
    Quill Medical, Inc., Matthew A. Megaro – President and Chief Executive Officer
  • By engaging Rankin-McKenzie, we have gained a dedicated executive who knows and is passionate about our business. As a result of his performance, he has become a critical member of our management team and the company. Rankin-McKenzie has been a long-term member of our executive team and proven to be essential in helping our business develop and grow.
    Drug Safety Alliance, Inc., Catherine C. Stokes, MS-President and CEO
  • We just closed our first institutional financing and the Board insists that the Company hire a Controller. This was a small capital raise and we still need to stretch our cash. My attorney recommends we consider hiring a Rankin-McKenzie partner as a part-time Controller. After a no cost needs analysis a two day per week experienced Rankin-McKenzie Controller was engaged and made an immediate impact. At a fraction of the cost of a full-time Controller our accounting mess is under control and I know where all my dollars are being spent. More importantly the investors are happy!
    Polyglot Systems, Inc., Charles Lee, MD, President
  • Our Rankin McKenzie CFO taught us how to focus on profits, which of our employees were providing them, how we could reward them for what they did, and how to get others to do the same. The results were remarkable.
    Hardison & Leone, LLP, Ken Hardison, Managing Partner
  • It’s been a few months since Rankin McKenzie’s time with SFLA ended and I wanted to share with you how extremely satisfied we were with your controller and her work.  She settled in quickly and accomplished a great deal.  The added bonus was that she quickly assimilated into our team and everyone enjoyed her presence.  We were very pleased with the arrangement and will call your firm again should the need arise.
    SFL+a Architects, Mike Wawrzyniak, Director of Operations & Marketing
