Client:   Customized Structures, Inc.
               Claremont, NH
Focus:   Interim Management
Historical Perspective:

Customized Structures, Inc., (CSI) is a $25 million manufacturer of customized modular structures for both residential and commercial use. CSI found it necessary to terminate its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and retained Robert Ryan Management Consultancy (RRMC) to fill this position on a 4-month interim basis while it completed an extensive search for a new CFO.

RRMC was responsible for maintaining all of CSI’s Human Resources, Information Technology, and Treasury functions. RRMC maintained or enhanced all of the normal financial reporting; overhauled the company’s annual operating plan; performed ROI analysis on capital expenditure request; dealt directly with all vendors to address seasonal cash constraints; and provided in-house support to all other functional areas of the company.

“Customized Structures Inc. was in the middle of a dramatic growth spurt nearly doubling our sales volume in a year and adding over 100 employees when our CFO was terminated.  I was surprised at how quickly Bob was able to assess our financial reporting and control structure, make an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the current management team, and develop and implement a plan to restore credibility to our accounting functions while seeing us through an extremely difficult cash flow period.  During his brief tenure as interim CFO, Bob was also able to develop key banking contacts for the company to help revamp our borrowing structure.

Bob was unruffled and professional. He possesses a ‘likeability factor’ that allows him to quickly gain the confidence of those he works with, which aids him in getting to the facts quickly.  I was so impressed with Bob that I offered him a job.”

 – Joe Landers, President
Customized Structures, Inc.
