CASE STUDY
“Thank you for providing professional, responsive and value-added service that has exceeded our expectations.”
CFO of Public Biotech Firm
This company came to us as a publicly traded biotech firm. They had a set back with the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) which caused significant troubles. The company downsized by over 80%.
During the downsizing the company hired a bookkeeper, however they were not able to keep up with public (SEC) filing requirements. They decided to outsource their accounting to RFS. They are still with us today and are back in growth mode.
Financial Result: RFS assisted this biotech firm in restructuring for future growth while maintaining their SEC filing requirements.
