Jim is a special person. I've had the pleasure of working with Jim twice...Once where he was a client and once as a colleague. I can count on one hand the people I know who work as passionately as Jim. He cares about the team he leads and is relentlessly obsessed with client satisfaction. I unhesitatingly recommend Jim Ransier.

I worked with Jim for many years, first with a client of mine and then as a colleague. In the years that we have worked together, Jim always brought innovation, collaboration, and dedication to the work that he does. From establishing key processes that allowed our company to expand our onboarding process to growing a team that was essential to the growth of our company, Jim was always the one making it work. Given an opportunity, I would gladly work with Jim again as he is one of the most respected and loyal people I have had the pleasure of working with.
