"From the outset of our work together, Deane has consistently demonstrated the competency and reliability early-stage companies need from their partners. He quickly gained my trust through effective communication and delivering actionable, clear feedback and results on everything from capital management strategies to financial analysis and more. Further, Deane has time and again taken the initiative to raise, and then chase down, issues and opportunities I wouldn't have known to look for, let alone ask for help on. He is a trusted advisor whose recommendations I can lean on implicitly, which not only improves (dramatically) our company's financial management but also gives me back time to spend on other aspects of our business."
