  • "To have a team that has built a robust model, has done the work, and can speak eloquently and intelligently to investors is pretty solid. I shudder thinking of where I would be without the Turning Point team."

    — Max Baker, Founder & CEO of ILLUMAGEAR

  • “Working with Turning Point was transformational for Wimmer Solutions. They went beyond the numbers to create a mind shift change and, as a result, our finance function is not as fragile as it was. The Turning Point team was driven by data, quickly understood the personalities involved, and created accountability to get us to a significantly better place financially. They instilled confidence immediately and have remained trusted advisors.”

    — Matt Sauri, Wimmer Solutions

  • “As a company, we were at a crossroads when we hired Turning Point. We had grown beyond our ability to control operational efficiency but didn’t have the resources to hire a full-time CFO. Revenues were up but the additional business was not growing our bottom line. We did not have the in-house expertise to manage the complexities brought on by our growth. We did not have a financial reporting system capable of helping us pinpoint our problems.”

    — Dean E. Wilson, CEO, King-Electric
