Sundance Lodging, Inc. (Lodging Company) - Feb 23, 2009

Posted by: James K. Cooper in Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Jim Cooper. He was the CFO of Sundance Lodging, Inc. for over 12 years and helped take our company from one property with 40 rooms to over 25 properties with over 1,500 rooms. He is talented in so many different aspects in fulfilling the role of Chief Financial Officer.

Lending Relationships - I know of nobody better at working with lenders and arranging financing; he worked miracles in arranging financing for all our hotel properties. Jim is just superb at putting loan packages together, finding interested lenders, and negotiating favorable loan terms.
Financial Statements - Jim is a stickler for making sure that financial statements are both accurate and timely. At the same time, he is practical about helping us generate financial statements that mean something to managing our business.
Relationships - Jim is great in establishing relationships with lenders, vendors, and employees. He is a people person that helps build talent and inspires confidence in an organization.
Problem Solver - Jim is a master at quickly recognizing problems and getting down to the bottom line very quickly. But, even more importantly, he is adept at coming up with potential solutions. Jim is a can do person who helps identify and solve problems.

Without reservation, I would highly recommend Jim Cooper to any company looking to have the services of a stellar Chief Financial Officer.

Capital Manufacturing, LLC & Puckmaster, Inc. - Feb 23, 2009

Posted by: James K. Cooper in Testimonials

Jim Cooper has been the part-time Chief Financial Officer of Capital Manufacturing and Puckmaster for the last six years. He has done an excellent job in handling some of our more difficult accounting issues such as intercompany entries, manufacturing costing, and the intricacies of running five related businesses. Jim is always positive, upbeat, and willing to pitch in to help us solve our problems.

Jim was also very instrumental in helping us make an acquisition that allowed us to triple our size. He prepared the projections, prepared the loan package, helped us arrange the financing, and helped us close the transaction. This acquisition has been a vital piece of our continued growth and maturation as a company.

If you are looking for someone that can be a trusted business advisor, can help simplify difficult problems in a practical manner, and can help you stay on top of your financials and lending relationship, then I couldn't recommend anyone better than Jim Cooper.
