Susan Jabbusch, Executive Vice PresidentCarolina Advanced Digital, Inc.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.

Having served over 600 clients, we know what it takes to bring stability and profitability to private companies, no matter their industry or current financial health.
Rankin McKenzie sets itself apart by operating as a cohesive team of full-time Partners rather than a loose network of independent consultants.

Once we have an understanding of your requirements, we’ll introduce you to one of our trusted Partners whose experience and expertise are the ideal fit for your company, giving you access to a CFO on your terms.
Rankin McKenzie takes a measured approach to selecting and vetting partners. We discover many new Partners via referrals from existing Partners or actively recruiting top CFOs, each with a minimum of 15 years of experience.
We look for a career history of success, necessary certifications and education, plus conduct personality analyses to ensure they’re a pleasure to work with and have the necessary leadership skills.
Finally, each candidate is interviewed by our Managing Partners with only the top candidates joining us as Partners.
A cost-effective alternative to a full-time hire, as you receive a seasoned CFO for only the time you need.
