Testimonials

Gary Stark, Managing Partner, Iron Range Capital, Chicago, Illinois …. John led the integration of the initial portfolio company of a private equity platform investment. He led the entire financial team through post acquisition integration, implementing best practice controls and reporting while hiring a world class financial team. Without John’s leadership, the investment would not have made the milestones established in the pre-purchase acquisition thesis.

John O’Connor, Attest Partner, Plante Moran, Chicago, Illinois …. John is a world class CFO who brings best practices to his work. John engaged us two months after the purchase of the business and 3 months before year end. John single handed drafted the opening balance sheet, conducted a physical inventory, and prepared for an annual audit, all with a company that essentially managed itself on the cash basis. I only wish all my clients could be as organized at the start of the acquisition as John and his team.

Diana Chang, Former Senior Controller, Global Aerospace Partners, Former General Manager, Nexus Division, Illinois Tool Works, Chicago, Illinois …. I always appreciated working with John in his role as CFO over the last 20 years. John brings the complete toolbox to the CFO position, from both the operating and financial points view. John knows how to lead world class financial teams. He has the leadership to be effective in senior management settings. If I needed a CFO on an interim basis, John is that go to person.

Marc Palano, CEO, 7 Layer IT, Schaumburg, Illinois. …I have known John for over 20 years. I can say that he is one of the top CFO’s I know. He understands how to build staff and integrate IT. I have seen him first hand in action. If I would ever need an interim resource to manage the finance function, John is a CFO resource that I think of first.
