Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

Our company has been experiencing many changes and our RM Partner, Steve Weiner has helped us navigate these waters with grace. His flexibility and availability has been invaluable, and we always feel like a priority. It has been exciting working on the Cycle Labs launch with him, and we are looking forward to continuing our work with Steve post-launch.

Debbie came to us when we needed an outside look at a company’s finances during a turnaround effort, and with cash at a premium, we needed someone to be efficient. My firm lacked visibility into how the company might be struggling, and she brought good clarity to the situation, providing answers quickly. She helped my client’s company find its footing.  With her efficiency and a better understanding of the company’s financial health, she’s since been able to further help with budgeting.  My clients entrusted me to bring in the right professional to assist their finance team, and Debbie was the right fit.  She doesn’t make assumptions and asks great questions as she understands each company is unique. Debbie is not aggressive, threatening, or heavy handed at all; she lets the data speak for itself.  She’s very responsive and approachable.  All these characteristics make her a truly valuable team member.

Rich has been a critical part of our success at Susteon.  His integrity, work ethic and attention to detail are exemplary. Not only has he effectively managed the government accounting for multiple DOE and commercial projects, but he has also been a true CFO to guide us with cash flow, future investments and getting us through the Covid-19 downturn.  He has been a great mentor and advisor to me.  He is a pleasure to work with.

Over that last 25 years, the executive team at Tyrata has worked together in several different start-up environments, so we have had experience with many other accounting firms and partners during that time.  Frankly, none we have worked with have been of Kathy Huff’s caliber and skill level; she has absolutely distinguished herself among her peers. The two words that would characterize our experience with Kathy would be flexibility and accuracy, both of which are extremely valuable to any small company.  With a limited staff, we have very diverse needs, but Kathy has always been able to fulfil her role quickly and effectively whether it be coordinating valuations, banking, insurance, payroll, taxes, AP/AR, or just routine bookkeeping needs.  Kathy doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of other resources from RM should the need arise, so we are never left without a resource.  Kathy is truly a valued member of our team at Tyrata.

Mike has been a pleasure to work with and has brought lots of great ideas to our growing company. His laid-back personality blends well with our team. What I appreciate most about Mike is his willingness to teach and ensure that everyone understands the “why” behind what we’re doing.

While operating a company experiencing significant growth the past 2 years, we recognized the need for financial expertise to confirm and assist with our daily decisions. Rankin McKenzie has a fantastic reputation, and we felt lucky to have this resource available here in the Triangle market. Through our vetting process it became obvious that RM was a good fit. We appreciated the selection process used to determine which person would be assigned to our account and could not be happier having our Rankin McKenzie Partner as our fractional CFO. Our Partner adapted to our company culture quickly and is doing a great job managing and mentoring our staff. In the past few months, our Partner has provided us with solid insight as well as created financial tools and resources to help us make better business decisions. For any small business that is transitioning to a mid-size structure, I would highly recommend RM.

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.

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.   

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.
