Jaye has been an invaluable and impactful resource for us. Although she stepped in to support us during a staff transition period, she was able to quickly get up to speed with current systems, processes, and procedures and provided trustworthy and skilled support. While the new Finance and HR director acclimated, she helped maintain all the financial functions and meet important deadlines. She reviewed our existing structures and policies and has stayed on to implement changes and provide guidance and insightful feedback. She has a great grasp and able to articulate big picture needs and goals while being willing to get in the weeds, doing anything she can to support. She cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them succeed. She’s a pleasure to work with, and I am grateful for her partnership and mentorship.
Steve Carnevale has been an exceptional CFO for Reveal Mobile, demonstrating remarkable expertise and dedication. He successfully completed our financial audit and implemented numerous accounting processes and procedures, significantly enhancing our financial management. Steve’s efforts led to the creation of a robust financial reporting package and a comprehensive multi-year financial forecast. Moreover, he streamlined financial information for the board, ensuring clarity and efficiency in our reporting. His contributions have been invaluable, and he has greatly strengthened our financial operations.
Angie has been so impactful since day one. Before she joined the team, we had poor record-keeping, many historical mistakes in our financials, and an audit around the corner. Angie completely cleaned up our financials and standardized our monthly reporting and presentation to the Board of Directors. We just completed the audit process ahead of schedule thanks to Angie’s leadership and guidance. I cannot say enough about the positive impact Angie has had on our organization, and I look forward to continuing to work with her as we continue to grow.
I have really appreciated the expertise and professionalism Kathy Huff brings as we operate the company, especially under the many challenges we have faced in the last year. Her tutelage of our administrative lead has also provided her with the professional development opportunities she deserves.
In addition to all this, I was so impressed with the awesome effort Kathy put in on our behalf regarding PPP, we truly could not have done this without her. Kathy is a valued member of our team.
A valuable asset to Fast Lane is how you would describe our former part-time Controller, Lynne Hicks. Having assisted our accounting department in all aspects of our accounting procedures for over six years, she was always dependable, knowledgeable, and accessible. Fast Lane’s continuous growth and addition of new revenue opportunities in multiple countries equates to the need of a controller who can be available to answer questions at any time throughout the work week as well as coming into our office unexpectedly when problems arise. She was someone we could depend on to guide us in our following of GAAP. Our RM Controller paid great attention to detail, focusing on all issues, whether large or small. The commitment to excellent service to Fast Lane is greatly appreciated and an important component of our company’s success.

Though we were not ready to hire a full-time CFO, we sure were glad to have the assistance of Alex Duhon every week. Alex served as CFOH’s part-time controller, keeping the numbers in line so we could continue to fly kids. We loved having her as part of our crew!

Former President and CEO
I have worked with John in different companies over the last 20 years and would eagerly do so again. I have worked with other Chief Financial Officers, but John is the cream of the crop when it comes to being a true partner to the functions of human resources and employee engagement. He understands the power of leveraging employee engagement to advance the business and improve the bottom line. For more than two decades, John has been my trusted partner with whom I could analyze issues, deliberate options and then create solutions while maintaining our commitments to stakeholders, including our employees.
In addition to being an exceptional partner, John has been a outstanding mentor to me. John not only provides the answer but will also provide the explanation that has allowed me to grow in my understanding of financial and accounting principles. While this has been personally rewarding, it has also allowed me to bring better ideas forward to benefit the company. John makes the people around him better.

Our experience has been amazing with Anna. As a small, but growing, tech startup, using a fractional resource from Rankin McKenzie was a perfect fit for our size company. After hearing Anna’s heart and past experience, I didn’t hesitate to hire her. She truly listens, advises, and delivers on-time, quality work. As a female leader, I personally appreciate working with another female advisor that treats me as equal and does not talk down to me. Anna was able to help us “grow up” with our financial reporting, including switching over to GAAP reporting and assisting with the budgeting and planning processes. With Anna’s help, our company is positioned for continued and sustained growth.
