We brought in Todd to help keep our financial operations afloat as we had several team members leave all at once. He came in and helped stabilize our operations almost immediately while simultaneously helping us to hire replacements effectively. Todd positively impacted our finance operations, and we brought him back for a few different projects. Todd helped me feel comfortable about our financials and allowed me to focus more on operations and our customers. I would wholeheartedly work with Todd again and would recommend him highly.

All of us at Meryx liked working with Lynne. When I decided to retire, Lynne took over my position and did it seamlessly. After Meryx was purchased, Lynne was instrumental in helping do all the necessary accounting work for the merger and also continued on to make sure the new company had everything at their fingertips for a smooth transition. The things I like the most about Lynne is that she is very easy to work with and most importantly is very good at what she does professionally as a CPA. Lynne was a delight to work with. I would hire her again in a flash.

During the past three years of working with Larry, his strategic guidance has been invaluable to our company, and he has positioned us for continued growth.  For example, Larry created a detailed ROI analysis of all of our services, which helped us become more profitable. In addition, he completed financial models to assist us with capital equipment purchases. 

Larry is always eager to help and support us, even when he’s not in the office.  Larry’s professionalism, strong business acumen, experience and connections in the financial community combined with his integrity, work ethic and attention to detail make him an outstanding partner. I am grateful to be able to work with him.

I first worked with John for nearly 15 years at my previous company, SCYNEXIS. In fact, John was the first full time finance employee, grew to become the Director of Finance, and helped take the company public in 2014 on the NASDAQ.  Needless to say, it was a great experience for us all, and John was on the team that made it happen.

When I started a new company, Ribogenics, of course it made perfect sense for me to go back to John for Finance. He came the first day, and we were in business!

John is not only a great numbers guy; he also understands the Biotech ecosystem: investors both public and private, shareholders, partners, principal investigators, administrative support and scientists. He communicates easily with Board members and very quickly gained their trust.  John also communicates well with scientists that may not have all the financial and operational knowledge required to build and grow a Biotech company. He is also very responsive in the demands of the stakeholders and good at prioritizing his job.

In a matter of 6 months, we put in place a complete team with the facility and raised $7M as seed money.  I left the company at the end of 2021, but John stayed on to ensure that the evolution of Ribogenics was well managed.

Overall, when I have my next biotech project, I’m calling John!

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.

I have really appreciated the expertise and professionalism Kathy Huff brings as we operate the company, especially under the many challenges we have faced in the last year. Her tutelage of our administrative lead has also provided her with the professional development opportunities she deserves.

In addition to all this, I was so impressed with the awesome effort Kathy put in on our behalf regarding PPP, we truly could not have done this without her. Kathy is a valued member of our team.

Steve Carnevale has been an exceptional CFO for Reveal Mobile, demonstrating remarkable expertise and dedication. He successfully completed our financial audit and implemented numerous accounting processes and procedures, significantly enhancing our financial management. Steve’s efforts led to the creation of a robust financial reporting package and a comprehensive multi-year financial forecast. Moreover, he streamlined financial information for the board, ensuring clarity and efficiency in our reporting. His contributions have been invaluable, and he has greatly strengthened our financial operations.

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.

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!

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.
