Client Impact
Here's what our clients have to say about us . . .
"Bud Little and SFL3 assisted Comstock for more than a year. During that time, Bud organized our accounting and financial reporting functions to more effectively address related SEC public company and U.S. GAAP requirements. Bud’s work ethic, professionalism, and ability to quickly understand, assess and communicate highly complex transactions are second to none. During his engagement, we completed five major investments and three acquisitions, all of which we’re accounted for, disclosed in our financial statements and SEC filings, and reviewed with our Board Audit Committee and auditors in a comprehensive, high quality and timely manner. I would highly recommend Bud and SFL3 to anyone looking for world class finance and accounting services."

"Bud and I collaborated on the development of financial projections for an internet startup. Bud's skills and experience were invaluable in helping us to better understand the financial implications of related growth and financing plans. I strongly recommend Bud Little and SFL3 to anyone seeking high quality CFO services."
Stan Berk, Owner
JBRG Consulting (www.theroyl.com)
"I worked with Bud while I was performing an interim CEO role and he was performing the interim CFO role at a public company in transition. Bud performed a comprehensive and quick study of all the issues that needed to be addressed and built a solid action plan to achieve the tasks necessary. That thoroughness remained as he developed a working relationship with all the key employees and company advisors, despite an enormous workload. He would not accept glib answers and required solid evidence from everyone to clarify and validate all transactions. Probably most significant was the way in which Bud engaged each person and made them responsible for their portion of the plan. This held them accountable for accuracy while giving himself (and the CEO) some level of assurance that what was being reported was real and true. I thoroughly recommend Bud to anyone who needs to have tight control of their company administrative, legal and financial processes while supporting an aggressive growth strategy."
Martin Hedley, Interim CEO
Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings
