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.

Our Rankin McKenzie Partner brought expertise to us on Day 1 and started immediately digging into the details. He helped us establish better accounting practices in a scalable way that supports our growth goals. Most importantly for us has been his flexibility with scheduling to work around our needs.
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.
Kathy Morris has worked with HexaTech for the past 13 years as a fractional CFO. Even though she worked part time over the years, she has always been a critical member of our management team, and a key contributor to HexaTech’s success. Kathy is dependable, responsive, extremely knowledgeable in all facets of accounting and finance, and most of all has been a pleasure to work with. When we were acquired by Stanley Electric in 2020, Kathy was our point person for all of the due diligence that was required. I can honestly say that without Kathy, this acquisition probably would not have happened. When we were asked by Stanley to hire a full time Accounting Manager, Kathy led the search, identified a great candidate which we hired, and then trained that individual to ensure a seamless transition. I would strongly recommend Kathy to any company looking for a part time CFO. Thank you to Rankin McKenzie for supporting HexaTech from its inception through its acquisition. Your support for the past 16 years has been critical to our success!
For over a decade, the consortium we were part of managed its finances internally. After bringing Todd on board, we realized there were missed opportunities we hadn’t noticed before. Thanks to Todd’s hands-on management, not only have we stopped losing money, but our returns have also improved significantly. It’s a huge relief knowing that someone with such diverse experience is handling things. Looking back, my only regret is that we didn’t make this change sooner.
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.
Beth is an excellent resource in the business community with her people and networking skills. She knows how to skillfully pitch so to make the biggest impact for all parties involved. She has high ethics and gains the trust and confidence of her peers and coworkers. She is a high-level performer and a valuable asset.
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.
Jeff is a true professional whom I trust and respect. He draws from his vast and diverse experience to find practical and actionable solutions. While serving as our CFO, Jeff built strong relationships throughout the company and became a trusted strategic advisor to the leadership team. He took the financial function at MedThink to the next level, quickly identified KPIs and developed models to measure them, as well as supported the company through a successful M&A process. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jeff.
