Beth is a fantastic partner! She is extremely responsive, intentional, and trustworthy. I refer clients to her because I know that she will be a valuable resource for them, even if the immediate opportunity is not a fit. She is a joy to work with!
Upon starting our search, we had doubts about our ability to retain a highly competent finance person within our budgetary constraints who could handle maintaining our finances while also strategizing for the future. This made a fractional CFO like Anna a great fit. After interviewing Anna, we felt very comfortable that she had the right skills and temperament for the role.
Anna is an experienced professional who has provided financial expertise and guidance to our company, while enabling us to get the right systems and processes in place to manage the daily requirements for finance and for reporting to investors. Anna has also done an excellent job of training people who are not finance professionals to handle the “everyday” work, which has greatly improved our efficiency as a company and enabled us to leverage Anna for higher-order needs.
Most importantly, Anna has become a trusted advisor for the company – especially when managing complex decisions or new frontiers that the company has no experience with. When making these decisions, you can tell Anna really cares about the company and does everything in her power to fight for its success – which is critical in an early-stage business.
I am not sure how we would have managed our finance function over the past few years without Anna, especially reporting, tax, and audit. Furthermore, Anna has had a lasting impact on several of our employees through mentorship and education. We are very grateful for her service to the company.
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.
Hire what you aren’t proficient in! We were thrilled to have CFO Richard McGivney join our United Drug Supply Inc. team!
Due to an unexpected medical situation, our CFO was going to miss 2 to 6 weeks of work – with little ability to communicate with us at all. We contacted Rankin McKenzie and within a couple of days met with Angie, and she felt like a perfect fit. She spent a few days with our CFO and quickly got up to speed. It was a great comfort having her take over the day to day finances for a couple of months until our CFO was able to return to work full-time.
I’ve had the fortune of working with Andrew at three different life science companies, all at different stages of growth, including during multiple complex equity and debt financings. Andrew brings an ability to assess where an organization is currently situated, both financially and operationally, and the perspective of where the organization needs to improve in order to scale for growth. He has demonstrated a solid ability to build strong teams while also being willing to roll-up his sleeves to get the work out. I have greatly appreciated his knack for addressing potential challenges early and with well-researched solutions. He has also demonstrated a high-level of stress tolerance and imparts a sense of calm to those around him.
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.
We hired Kim right before we switched from QuickBooks online to NetSuite. With her guidance, we were able to make the right decisions and setup NetSuite in the most efficient way. In addition, she implemented a closing process for our accounting team, which enables us to get financials ready in a timely manner. We love her honest feedback and suggestions to make our accounting team more efficient. She understands our business!
Tom’s expertise and thoughtful approach was key to driving our growth and professionalizing our organization. He helped us think about our business in ways we hadn’t previously and unlocked areas of investment we hadn’t contemplated. Further, Tom’s caring and professional approach has enabled us to navigate difficult choices with confidence and clarity. During our 5+ years of working with Tom, he has not only been a great advisor and CFO but has also grown into a professional friend as well.
Alex has been crucial to our success and immense growth as an organization. With Alex’s exceptional knowledge of non-profit organizations and professionalism, we did not hesitate to hire her to help us grow as a company like no one had before. Alex is conscientious, fair, and diligent. She has moved us from cash to accrual accounting, assisted in training staff, supported the development of detailed budgets and financial statements, participated in several hirings, and has helped us increase the timeliness of our reporting.
