Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

Tom’s expertise and thoughtful approach was key to driving our growth and professionalizing our organization. He helped us think about our business in ways we hadn’t previously and unlocked areas of investment we hadn’t contemplated. Further, Tom’s caring and professional approach has enabled us to navigate difficult choices with confidence and clarity. During our 5+ years of working with Tom, he has not only been a great advisor and CFO but has also grown into a professional friend as well.

Jeff is a great partner. He’s easy to work with and cares deeply about the people and the business. He’s willing to provide financial guidance or roll up his sleeves and do the detailed work.

Tim’s leadership has been nothing short of essential to our success. Taking the financial helm of a portfolio company amid a major restructuring, his insight and experience helped transform the business from a point of great uncertainty to profitability and growth.  Tasked with navigating large operational, customer, and employee complexities, along with multiple investor groups, he quickly uncovered and solved some of our most challenging problems in a high-pressure environment. Tim was the missing link we didn’t know we needed – greatly exceeding our expectations and expanding the definition of a strategic CFO. He will be our go-to partner in the future.

Due to an unexpected medical situation, our CFO was going to miss 2 to 6 weeks of work – with little ability to communicate with us at all.  We contacted Rankin McKenzie and within a couple of days met with Angie, and she felt like a perfect fit.  She spent a few days with our CFO and quickly got up to speed.  It was a great comfort having her take over the day to day finances for a couple of months until our CFO was able to return to work full-time.

When I joined AgBiome Innovations as the commercial director in 2013, Andrew was already on board as the CFO.  He proved to be a valuable asset in numerous ways during the next 6 years that I worked with him. He has excellent communication skills; always used clear concise messaging to my group regarding budgeting and financial requirements and results. Andrew is very knowledgeable of the financial reporting requirements for startups, and his interest in our business was very useful.  Andrew also assisted my team on a product and company acquisitions effort, as well as a multiple equity funding rounds.  My team was very comfortable in working with Andrew and had a tremendous amount of respect for him. Finally, Andrew makes people feel very comfortable in work situations which in turn makes them want to help him in any way possible.

Our CPA firm identified that our company required more sophisticated financial oversight and strategic planning in order to continue to grow; services which they could not provide.  We began collaborating with John Autrey as our part time / virtual CFO in 2016 and later added Betty Larose to review our financial processes and current business strategies.  John and Betty were able to fine tune what we had while not disrupting the core processes and tools in place.  We count heavily on the planning and advice we receive from Betty and John, and they are integral to our continued success.

We believe that adding the Rankin McKenzie team was one of the best strategic moves that we have made.  On a more personal note, the entire team feels that Betty and John are a great addition to our work family.

The short answer is that our part-time Controller, Denise Huska, was the best “consultant” I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. First and foremost, she’s extremely smart. A person doesn’t need to work with her very long to realize that. Her consistently positive attitude is contagious. It didn’t matter if things were going well or if we were struggling a bit, she always radiated the feeling that everything will be just fine. We always felt that we were, to borrow a phrase, “in good hands”. And we always were. Our RM Controller fit in extremely well with our staff. She is instantly likable and always did her best to minimize interruptions to employees’ time. She’s very organized and always came to meetings well-prepared. Working with her always felt more like a personal, friend-to-friend type of relationship than simply a business one. To summarize, her top-notch business and interpersonal skills are second to none, and I’ve learned a great deal from her on both fronts. She does excellent work and is truly a pleasure to work with. Paragon is in a much sounder financial position now as a direct result of her efforts.

I hired Angie in the midst of a significant growth period and was in need of a self starter, and that’s what we got with Angie. I had no reservations regarding hiring her and was impressed by her enthusiasm for her work.  She was an excellent business partner, and I had the utmost trust in her as her leader as she was privy to all customer communication.  Overall, I most remember her attention to detail and financial acumen.  I was so disappointed when our contract with Angie ended as ultimately it required me to staff two distinct roles to replace Angie’s work.

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 turned to Rankin McKenzie as we needed some financial help, primarily with setting up budget templates.  Having Andrew Graham join MyCovia as our part-time CFO was an easy decision.  We appreciated how professional Andrew is as he’s very responsive and stays on track with tasks.  As a result, the work he’s done will allow our business leaders and finance team to better monitor trends and budget to actuals going forward.  Overall, Andrew is great to work with and super easy going.
