Ken’s work as Interim CFO was critical to preparing us for the rigors of the sale process,” says Bruce Bates, founder and current CEO of RISA. “Ken was able to make an immediate impact, providing insights into our business and preparing us for the challenges of due diligence and all the work required to successfully close a sale to a sophisticated, strategic buyer. Bringing Ken in was a great decision and made the process much smoother.
Bruce Bates
Founder and CEO, RISA
Phil Oseas joined us as interim CFO for our charter school management company. He quickly became familiar with the company’s ERP solution and build the needed projections for a complex corporate structure with little or no staff involvement. In addition, he greatly contributed to the general daily corporate business affairs. Phil demonstrated extremely sophisticated modeling skills and delivered on all requests quickly and effectively. He was a pleasure to work with and I would look forward to working with him again should the occasion arise.

Strategic Advisor, Education Management Systems
Dr. Lanier received a very attractive valuation and was able to walk away from the practice at about 2x what he originally anticipated. The buyer’s rigorous QofE process was managed flawlessly. The multiple received could not have been achieved without the contribution of Scott Patterson and Hardesty. What great partners.
