SOUTH FLORIDA-BASED FINANCIAL STAFFING COMPANY PLACES
INTERIM CFO FOR CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
MIAMI, FL — Rachlin Financial Staffing, a South Florida based financial staffing company, recently placed an interim CFO for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA).
Rachlin Financial Staffing has a pool of executive-level talent, which helped facilitate an extremely quick turnaround. A list of pre-qualified candidates was presented less than 24 hours after the job order was assigned. One of the candidates, Jerry G. Mikolajczyk, was chosen last week to be the new interim CFO for the VTA.
“This placement proves the capabilities of our contract division to locate high-caliber individuals for positions nationwide,” said Paul Smith, director of Rachlin Financial Staffing. “Thanks to the hard work of my team, there is a strong potential of a new contract in 2008 and additional need of staff.”
LEAD-UP TO THE PLACEMENT
The client, Rachlin LLP, an accounting and advisory services firm, participated in an assessment of the VTA. Their report ultimately revealed terribly managed finances. Soon after the audit report was released, the CFO of the VTA resigned.
The Advisory Services division of Rachlin LLP engaged the services of Rachlin Financial Staffing to find an interim replacement. The criteria were extremely specific: The individual needed to hold a California CPA license and have heavy turnaround experience in the $250-$500 million company range. They also had to have the ability to handle a messy, billion-dollar construction contract as well as a governmental entity of thousands of union-represented employees. They also needed to be able to deftly navigate through a deeply political landscape.
