Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

We are incredibly grateful for the partnership we’ve had with Rankin McKenzie. Their expertise and support have been invaluable to us throughout our collaboration. In particular, working with Todd has been an absolute pleasure. Over the past few months, his contributions, especially during the due diligence and transition period, have been essential to our success. His professionalism, knowledge, and unwavering dedication made him an indispensable asset to our team. We can’t recommend him and Rankin McKenzie highly enough!

Jaye has made my life so much easier.  Prior to coming in, I was trying to do the job of multiple people.  She has taken so much off my plate, and I couldn’t be more grateful.  She is very good at explaining to everyone exactly what she needs.  We have a pretty tricky accounting system that we struggle to use.  While I can tell it’s frustrating, she powers on and continues to successfully get the information she needs out of it.  She has gotten our books straightened out and got us doing things we were never doing before.  I appreciate her every day and am so glad we decided to go with Rankin McKenzie.  Jaye is the perfect person for our business.

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!

Following the departure of a previous consultant, Alex took over the roll of DHIC’s Finance/HR Consultant and was able to step in and sort through everything on her own in order to keep us functioning without any down time.  Alex is thoughtful in her approach and thorough in her research of systems and processes.  She is easy to work with, and I trust and respect the input she provides in our Finance/HR area.  We look forward to our continued relationship with Alex as a trusted business partner.

Tom is an amazing CFO who is very consistent, honest, and gives wise counsel.  He has taken on some of the toughest challenges in our businesses and has seen them through to success. Tom was critical to the success of Intelligent Access Systems and a valued member of the senior leadership team.  The company was named on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing US companies for four straight years and won many other awards before it was sold in 2014.  Tom’s contributions to the success of that company were priceless.

Our Rankin McKenzie Partner has been a rock during this global pandemic. Whether it was building multiple versions of budgets or finding us a banking partner to acquire a PPP loan and low-interest loans, he always stayed focused and managed his task load. His insights and budgeting led us through the hardest six months of our nine year history. Our Partner and the entire team at Rankin McKenzie have an incredible company filled with dedicated professionals.

Tim has truly been a transformative force for our business. He is so much more than a finance partner, as he has also been an invaluable resource, mentor, and thought and strategic partner dedicated to our success. Tim stepped into extremely challenging and difficult times – post-acquisition with a high amount of change and volatility.

His keen attention to detail and experience has helped me navigate through complex business and financial decisions. In times of uncertainty, Tim provided steady guidance, with strategic financial planning that have positioned us for growth. Beyond the numbers, Tim has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our success by aligning financial strategies with a unique team fit and overarching business goals. His personalized approach distinguishes Tim as a true and invaluble partner.

Engaging Tim is the best decision I’ve made stepping in as a new CEO.

Due to the growth of our firm over many years, we needed to improve numerous processes especially in our accounting/finance department in order to continue our success or I knew we would eventually retract. Our Rankin McKenzie Partner joined us at RKA approximately 4 years ago and brought to us a wealth of experience from various industries which helped to improve not only our accounting/finance team, but they also played a key role on our leadership team. They helped our firm greatly by developing and mentoring our Director of Accounting and Finance, recommended numerous growth strategies for his team, implemented processes to expedite our month-end closing, improved our reporting, started a new budgeting/forecasting process, took an active role as an ex-officio board member, and was also extremely beneficial to me during the acquisition of our firm by a private equity backed company. Our Partner was a steady hand during several difficult situations and provided good guidance which helped me in my decision making. I appreciate everything that our Partner has done not only for me but especially for our firm.

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.

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.
