“Debbie has always been great to work with.  She is very knowledgeable in her space and isn’t afraid to put the time in.  It sure was a joy working with her.”

— AARON K.
Vice President Risk Management, Cottingham & Butler Insurance Company

“I’ve run public companies and owned and run private ones.  Without reservation I can say that Debbie is at the top tier of the financial professionals I’ve ever worked with.  Her financial and technical skills are second to none.  And her deep expertise stretches far beyond financial statements and planning to virtually every area of administration, benefits, software, HR and more.

But the experience working with Debbie exceeds that.  Debbie is a dedicated professional committed to honesty, integrity and unwavering dedication to your cause.  She truly, “rides for the brand” with a level of commitment and purpose that probably will exceed your best employees and some of your partners.  Debbie is smart, sophisticated and I trust her to handle the most delicate relationships with lenders, investors, buyers and employees.

In our case, Debbie came into our company for a 90-day review and audit and I persuaded her to stay for what wound up being a 15-month engagement, at the end of which the company was sold.  Debbie had to review and clean up a real financial mess at our company.  It is no exaggeration to say that because Debbie turned the financial condition of the business around, mastered all the details and fundamentals of financial performance of the business and communicated this so clearly and convincingly to the purchasers that we realized a significant and measurable increase in value upon the sale of our business.”

— BILL B.
President, 5280 Waste Solutions

“I have known Debbie for 15 years.  I have worked with her in several different roles… In every role Debbie has proved to be an innovative problem solver, showing initiative and attention to detail, while handling prompt and accurate communications regarding reports, reviews and opportunities… She handled the research and filing for credits that had a material positive impact on our firm… I am confident that you would find her to be a valuable resource in the financial management of your organization. ”

— GEORGE G.
CEO, First Affirmative Financial Network

“Debbie and I worked together for two years on a very difficult project both with operational challenges and financial barriers. The issues ranged from legacy issues to new future objectives and included a confusing cross-over of information from previous CFO’s and a new direction for the company. Debbie handled all of it with patience and dedication and produced reports and graphs that not only filled the need for financial statements but also answered the questions ultimately being asked. The key for us in Investment Banking finance is not just having the numbers but being able to understand what the numbers mean and Debbie is outstanding in this capacity.”

On a personal level, Debbie is a pleasure to work with – approachable, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile to support the ownership team and the broader organization.
