We were extremely satisfied with Kim 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.

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.
Scott Farms had the pleasure of working with our Rankin McKenzie Partner as our CFO for over four years. Our Partner helped us with the restructuring of our finances and improved our cash. He helped us develop tools for reporting for our company financials, KPIs and cash flow which helped us to not just be in the best compliance possible but also helped us understand what happened and what was in front of us clearly. Mainly, our RM Partner cared about us in a personal and professional manner and mentored and challenged us to be even better. This relationship not only worked wonderfully but we have become close professional friends.
Robert McKenzie, our former Rankin McKenzie part-time CFO, became an essential member of our management team. Not only was he able to learn our industry quickly, he made improvements across multiple departments, increased efficiencies and helped us expand and grow to new heights. Our RM CFO was a true leader in our company, Majestic Marble and Glass, for six years.
When DHIC had a sudden opening for our Controller position, Betty Larose stepped in, took on the role with minimal guidance, and immediately proved how much of a self-starter she is with learning about our industry and nuances of tax credit and bond funding. She also took on some specialized reporting required by our funders, figured out the system on her own, and created a much better method for handling the process. Betty fits in perfectly as a member of our small finance team of six, always having a pleasant attitude and ready to help in any area we need it. Her work ethic is exceptional and that, combined with her experience and the quality of her work deliverables, makes Betty the perfect partner for our team.
We have found a valuable asset to add to our team, our Rankin McKenzie Partner. Like many businesses, our financial situation is unique to our business. He jumped right in to learn how our business operates to get a full understanding of our current financial picture and future financial needs. Our Partner has assisted with cash flow forecasting to ease the challenges that come with a seasonal business. He’s been instrumental in assisting with new software integration and restructuring our chart of accounts to easily pull financial data. Gaining access to this data is a game changer for our business. Our RM Partner is personable, genuine, honest, and works hard to make himself available to us. I’ve learned so much from him in the short time that he’s been working with us. I’m excited to continue working with him to better the business.
By engaging Rankin McKenzie, we gained a dedicated executive who knows and is passionate about our business. As a result of Robert’s performance, he became a critical member of our management team and the company. Rankin McKenzie was a long-term member of our executive team and proved to be essential in helping our business develop and grow.

He collaborated with us on an appropriate scope of work to meet our goals and successfully assisted us through this transition period. Our Partner was a true partner and made a positive difference for our organization.
