FAQs

Private companies’ unique needs require the specialized expertise of CFOs whose experience can turn any financial challenge or opportunity into an optimal outcome.

Rankin McKenzie’s experienced CFOs give private companies cost-effective access to top financial experts, helping them navigate exits, acquisitions, downturns, restructuring, or CFO churn with ease and confidence.

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.

We prioritize matching CFOs to clients based on executive team dynamics, personalities, and company culture, not solely financial needs and experience. 

Lastly, the tenure of our Partners and the average length of our client engagements is unparalleled in the industry, reflecting our commitment to building lasting, effective partnerships.

Matching you with the right Rankin McKenzie partner begins by discussing your specific needs and goals, plus building an understanding of the personalities on your team.

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.

Once we identify your needs, we’ll pair you with a Partner whose rate best matches your budget—and the skills that match your requirements.

To get pricing tailored to your needs, plus answers to your questions, schedule a consultation now.
