“We were seeking consulting in our finance function for long-term planning, financing, and reporting. We hired Patrick Nugent at FLG and he couldn’t have been a better choice. Patrick was able to provide effective frameworks and best practices, leverage his network and expertise in the industry, and engage cross-functionally. As a CFO, you have lots of choices when you hire outside resources like we did at Mission Bio, but I would definitely recommend FLG for providing talent with strong strategic-thinking, expertise, thoroughness and the ability to engage as a true partner. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire from FLG Partners again for strategic support to our Finance team.”
