“During a peak work period we were in need of highly technical accounting expertise – consultants who could work in a fast paced public company environment with little guidance. Harmer Financial Solutions took the time to sit down with us to thoroughly understand our business and our requirements. Within a short period of time, HFS was able o engage two of the best technical accounting experts we seen. We were able to meet our SEC and audit deadlines. We will continue to engage Harmer Financial Solutions for upcoming accounting needs.”

“Our company experienced rapid growth as we expanded our operations around the world with operations on 3 continents. We engaged Harmer Financial Solutions to deploy an interim CFO and Controller to help us run our global operations. HFS became integral members of our leadership team until we were able to recruit full time employees. In concert with HFS, we utilized Harmer's executive search practice to identify a permanent CFO for our business. I highly recommend the Firm.”

“With the sudden departure of our Finance Director, we were in jeopardy of missing our public reporting and year end audit deadlines. We contacted Harmer Financial Solutions to quickly engage in an interim solution. Within one day Harmer Financial Solutions arrived at our offices to discuss our needs. Within two days they were able to engage on of their consultants at our North American business center. We were able to meet all of our deadlines with their consultant leading our accounting operations. If you find yourself in need of an accounting resource more qualified than yourself, you should not hesitate to contact HFS.”
