Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

Tim came on board our company at a critical time; we were wrapping up two acquisitions and kicking off a second fundraising round, and he hit the ground running. He was instrumental in helping us clean up our books and accounting processes and helped give us visibility into the KPIs that mattered most. Additionally, he helped create the financial growth model which we used in our fundraise, and he helped us successfully navigate the departure of our controller and led the process to find her replacement. Tim is a very talented CFO and the consummate professional. I highly recommend him!

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.

John Griffin possesses a strong business acumen and a calm demeanor.  Beginning with my initial interaction with John, he possessed an impressive resume and exuded confidence quickly leading us to hire him.  He was instrumental in building our accounting function from the ground up while the company was in full operations. He became an integral member of our executive leadership team during a high growth period and provided exceptional support through our recent sale of the company. During the 5+ years he has supported our company, he has proven to be exceptionally valuable and exceeded our expectations.

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.

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.

What a tremendous asset our Rankin McKenzie Partner has been to our firm. Our consulting engineering firm is over 46 years old but had never had a true financial professional on staff and so the fractional CFO fit our needs perfectly. Our Partner spent a great deal of time and effort in the beginning to understand every aspect of our business, not just the financial data. His goal was clearly to make sure his input was customized to our firm. With this background, he helped us create metrics and KPIs to understand both what our current financial health was and what trends in the data showed us about the future. This is information we never had before, and it has helped us reinforce our culture of personal responsibility and accountability. With his help and guidance, we have been able to grow our firm’s revenue by more than 35% over the last two years with significant increases in profitability, and we have increased our staff by 20%, all during a global pandemic! We now exceed the top performers in our industry in almost every measurable financial metric.

We engaged Robert when we needed deeper financial insight and experienced guidance to move our business forward. A fractional CFO proved to be exactly the right fit.

From the outset, Robert took the time to understand our business and quickly made an impact. His thoughtful, deliberate approach led to clear, actionable recommendations, and he became a trusted member of our leadership team, contributing well beyond the finance function. His experience and insight shone throughout the engagement.

Most importantly, Robert helped us uncover a significant hidden issue in our financial health and guided us toward a path forward—something we will always be grateful for. He also developed our first-ever budget, immediately improving decision-making and increasing visibility into potential risks. Bringing on our Rankin McKenzie partner was an absolute game-changer for us.

Kathy began serving as Biospatial’s fractional CFO during our first year in business in 2017. After working with Kathy for 5+ years now, I believe the decision to contract Kathy was one of the best decisions we have made since founding. The success of a business hinges on successful execution in all parts of the business. Kathy has successfully managed all of our activities related to AR/AP, accounting, taxes, employee benefits, banking, and cash management, including helping us to navigate periods where cash was lean. Kathy is always responsive, thorough, and efficient. She is easy to work with and enjoys to have fun and laugh. It would be tough to find a fractional CFO who delivers a higher value than Kathy continues to deliver for Biospatial.

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.

I’ve had the fortune of working with Andrew at three different life science companies, all at different stages of growth, including during multiple complex equity and debt financings.  Andrew brings an ability to assess where an organization is currently situated, both financially and operationally, and the perspective of where the organization needs to improve in order to scale for growth.  He has demonstrated a solid ability to build strong teams while also being willing to roll-up his sleeves to get the work out.  I have greatly appreciated his knack for addressing potential challenges early and with well-researched solutions.  He has also demonstrated a high-level of stress tolerance and imparts a sense of calm to those around him.
