WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
John and the crew at Helmsman were an integral part of our team from start to finish. They provided strong financial leadership and reliable back office support. Their experience was a big plus and they clearly understood our needs.
Patrick Robinson
President, Robinson Sauders Family Office Inc.
I have worked closely with John, Stephen and the team at Helmsman on numerous M&A, corporate finance, securities and general commercial matters. In addition to providing a suite of back-office services to emerging and high-growth companies that is unparalleled, they have exceptional prowess as strategic advisors and decision makers. Simply put, the depth of their expertise is shown by the quality of work they attract.
Ashley J. Ridyard
Principle, AJR Law
Helmsman has been a stunning one stop shop for establishing and maintaining our North American footprint. Rather than managing a roster of separate advisors across finance, legal, and HR, Helmsman brought it all together. This has allowed us to focus on our business and not worry about the plethora of bureaucratic issues that goes with running a multi-geo operation. They have consistently provided a superb service, executed elegantly and accurately.
Jonathan Tooley
Founder, JTA: The Data Scientists
Helmsman built our financial infrastructure by implementing a scalable accounting system, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and reporting. Their guidance and support positioned us to scale confidently while making smarter and faster financial decisions. The team brings a wide range of expertise, including IT support, and consistently demonstrates professionalism, strong communication, and responsiveness. The result is smoother daily operations, stronger accountability, and measurable progress toward our growth goals.
