Access the financial expertise your company needs to thrive.

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.

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.

For over a decade, the consortium we were part of managed its finances internally. After bringing Todd on board, we realized there were missed opportunities we hadn’t noticed before. Thanks to Todd’s hands-on management, not only have we stopped losing money, but our returns have also improved significantly. It’s a huge relief knowing that someone with such diverse experience is handling things. Looking back, my only regret is that we didn’t make this change sooner.

We engaged Debbie in January 2024 for high-level Accounting and Consulting services due to turnover in our Accounting Department and outdated financial practices. Our goal was to stabilize the company by addressing these evident financial shortcomings.

Debbie’s energy and detailed approach was evident from the start, as she undertook a forensic audit of our overall finances, records, and practices and identified deficiencies and key avenues for improvement. She recommended changes, including restating the 2023 Profit and Loss Statement, implementing new Budget Procedures, and adapting QuickBooks for Payroll, Accounts Receivable, and Payables. These changes have been crucial to stabilizing our financials.

Debbie has proven to be an invaluable resource with her organized, detailed approach and positive, can-do attitude. She offers clear, measured counsel and remains calm even in difficult situations. Her strong accounting background and ability to simplify complex solutions make her a trusted advisor and a tremendous asset to our company.

We were extremely satisfied with Kim and her work. She settled in quickly and accomplished a great deal. The added bonus was that she quickly assimilated into our team and everyone enjoyed her presence. We were very pleased with the arrangement and will call your firm again should the need arise.

Beth Mullaney is thoughtful in utilizing her network to benefit others. In the end, she can listen, identify and find a solution to a problem. Regardless of whether they be short or long term solutions, she is engaged throughout the process to ensure that everyone is happy with the outcome and that there will be a true benefit to the client. She is strategic, highlights her team, and has successfully grown the service offerings along with becoming a partner in the organization. She is a visionary that can take on implementation and execution. I am glad Beth is part of my network and someone I respect for guidance.

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.

As a fast-growing professional service firm, we were transitioning a very experienced controller into the CFO role. We needed someone who could bridge the gap as we sought a new controller and also serve as a mentor to our new CFO. Our Rankin McKenzie Partner was a perfect match. He collaborated with us on an appropriate scope of work to meet our goals and successfully assisted us through this transition period. Our Partner was a true partner and made a positive difference for our organization.

Jaye has been an invaluable and impactful resource for us. Although she stepped in to support us during a staff transition period, she was able to quickly get up to speed with current systems, processes, and procedures and provided trustworthy and skilled support. While the new Finance and HR director acclimated, she helped maintain all the financial functions and meet important deadlines. She reviewed our existing structures and policies and has stayed on to implement changes and provide guidance and insightful feedback. She has a great grasp and able to articulate big picture needs and goals while being willing to get in the weeds, doing anything she can to support. She cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them succeed. She’s a pleasure to work with, and I am grateful for her partnership and mentorship.
