Scale Finance LLC announces the hiring of 10 new professionals during the first half of 2012 –
- CFO Dan Gotte, CFO & Transaction Advisor Mike Smith, Senior Controller Greg Turner, and Accounting Manager Tammy Tarini in Charlotte
- CFO Mike Rowe, CFO Paul Lockett, and Senior Controller John Schefke in the Triangle
- Senior Controller Lynn Irwin in the Triad
- CFO Carl Paladino in the Washington DC area, and
- CFO Steve zum Tobel to develop the firm’s practice in Florida.
“In our 6-year history as a firm, this is the strongest first half on record. We’re seeing steady growth in both our client base and professional ranks as regional economic conditions slowly improve,” said Dave Gilroy, Managing Director in Charlotte. “We’re thankful for increasing referrals from lawyers, CPA firms and commercial banks with small company clients in need of hands-on, on-the-ground, “embedded” financial management support. Bank-ready financial reporting, shrewd working capital management, intense scrutiny of cost, realistic forecasts, insightful performance analysis, and pristine control are more critical than ever, and our low-cost, fractional use solutions match up well for entrepreneurial companies.”
The first half of 2012 also included closed major growth equity transactions for two fast-growing technology clients:
- Yodil, Inc. – SaaS provider of business intelligence, data analytics, operational reporting to the insurance industry
- AtoZ Companies, Inc. – Multi-niche online retailer leveraging advanced, analytics-based customer acquisition technologies.
In addition, Steve Paladino in the Triangle and Rendy Richards in the Triad were elected to SF partnership.
