"Ryland Strategic Business Consulting is an outstanding company! During a challenging time for our school, Cyndy Spano, a consultant with Ryland Strategic Business Consulting, was able to provide financial expertise and oversight. She was very responsive, able to quickly identify the needs of our school, and just as importantly, understand the culture of our school. Additionally, Ms. Spano provided needed advice as to practices and procedures that we have since implemented and have proven to be invaluable. Her work will have a lasting impact!"
