Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

Kim Robinson provided all our accounting and financial needs including the creation of the monthly management accounts. She was a great person to have in the company, very much part of the team. She is a very detailed and accurate accountant and at the same time a very positive person. If ever the opportunity arose, I would have no hesitation in employing her again.

Kim is a tremendous asset to Disruptive Process Solutions.  She’s allowed myself and the rest of our team to stay focused on what we do best – technical solutions for food and beverage manufacturing.  Since working with Kim, she’s helped define and tune our accounting system setup to ensure we have visibility into our company’s financial strengths and weaknesses so we can find ways to improve our bottom line.  Part of this effort was helping us establish proper client on-boarding and workflows to ensure we’re properly leveraging our software.  From a legal perspective, she assisted in connecting and implementing with legal and benefit improvements.  She’s assisted us and provided great foresight into the benefits of different corporate structures and state filings.  She also assisted us with implementing benefits for our company by finding a benefit provider as well as selecting the right coverage for our company.

Huge thanks to Beth for an incredibly timely introduction. The team she connected us with brought exactly the expertise we needed and jumped in right away to help get our project back on track.

It’s clear that Beth has cultivated a powerful network of knowledgeable, responsive, and collaborative professionals. We’re truly grateful for the support!

Firebird Sign Company was launched in 2024 as a startup signage business, backed by a veteran team—but we lacked a senior financial officer. After researching the value of a fractional CFO and receiving a glowing recommendation from one of Mike’s former clients, I reached out to Rankin McKenzie specifically with the hope of working with Mike.

The onboarding process exceeded expectations. Mike very attentively sought to understand our needs and ensured he could dedicate the right amount of time and attention. Since partnering with him, Mike has successfully led our QuickBooks Online implementation and played a critical role in launching and integrating our new ERP system.

Mike is a true coaching professional who brings out the best in those around him. He represents Firebird with professionalism and precision in interactions with our private equity sponsor and has been instrumental in our first-year success. His local network has also been a major asset—connecting us with tax partners and helping us explore line-of-credit opportunities with local banks.

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.

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.

Hire what you aren’t proficient in! We were thrilled to have CFO Richard McGivney join our United Drug Supply Inc. team!

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.

What drew us to Rankin and McKenzie was the ability to onboard talent like Phil Sandy in a fractional model. As a small business owner, it is always challenging to time and deploy capital effectively for new hires, particularly those in overhead positions. The fractional model allowed us to interview and select a CFO well-versed in our industry, challenges, and financial model and ultimately swing way above our weight class.

When we chose Phil, we knew he would step in and drive improvements and process changes in our back office and finance department. What we didn’t expect was his ability to drive transformational changes across the entire business, even when outside the natural purview of a CFO. His impact has been immense and we know there is still untapped potential in the relationship that we intend to explore in the coming years.

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.
