Testimonials

“As my business grew, I knew I needed an edge, a new tool in my toolbox. When I heard about The CFO Centre services, I knew this was what my business needed to advance to the next level. Our CFO was engaged to help us arrange financing structures and to clean-up our accounting department. Bill hit the ground running, examining all parts of our business and he has become a key adviser on every aspect of business. The implementation of forecast systems identified opportunities and challenges that have been crucial to help us plan our future. With Bill on-board, we now have another experienced executive who can handle strategic projects, freeing me to focus on other matters. Bill gained my trust early on, which is unusual for me, especially with financial information.”

Mr. Poitras:
The following is intended to express, on behalf of the shareholders, our gratitude for your hard work that led to the sale of the company to Quebec interests.
Your support during the last year and a half, including the document preparation, the due diligence, the review of legal documentation and especially the negotiation, played in our view an essential role in the successful outcome of this marathon.
Moreover, you have assumed the replacement of the financial director for much of your mandate. Your collaboration more precisely in the financing of the Japanese subsidiary, the negotiation of swap contracts and the change of the business model in China have greatly facilitated the transaction.
Please accept, Mr. Poitras, my very best regards.

"We have dealt with the CFO Centre in this case with Alain Landry for an in-residence CFO contract. We were very pleased with the services that Alain has given us and which have allowed us, among other things, to conclude a major contract and to build our funding strategy for the next few years by modeling several scenarios.

When the parent company announced they intended to divest of the Canadian operations, it was clear we needed an experienced individual to assist with the process. One of the challenges we faced was continuing to effectively operate a company while we were working through the distraction of the sale process. Bill was able to plug in very quickly and help us to navigate to the end goal. Specifically, he was instrumental in creating the data room that was key during the vendor negotiations, as well as through the due diligence phase. He also participated in developing the Information Memorandum, as well as the content for the Management Presentations. It was very clear he has extensive experience in aligning the financial reporting to the business operations, and we were able to leverage this experience not only through the sale process but on a go forward basis. Most importantly, with Bill’s help, we were able to meet all of Corporate’s deadlines for the sale, while continuing to achieve strong operating results.

Mike started working with Berryman as our part-time FD in January 2009 and soon afterwards joined our 3 man Management Board. It was like having a Peter Wheeler join the team. Working 1-2 days per week, his wide commercial knowledge and experience of working with other legal firms helped me and the other partners manage the firm strategically and operationally through the difficult economic conditions prevailing throughout 2009/10 and to plan ahead for the wider changes planned for the legal sector. Mike’s previous experience enabled me to delegate to him the management of our central service operation, which proved a great boon in the following months. Once we had identified merger or acquisition as the preferred route, Mike project managed the financial and commercial due diligence processes before working on the detailed implementation of the merger with Shakespeare Putsman which completed in October 2010
