Radford Testimonials


"We chose to work with Radford when we first adopted FAS 123(R) because we felt they would offer a combination of strong technical expertise and customer service. Terry and his team have not only provided timely quality information, they have also provided guidance on a variety of equity-based topics and given us access to other resources within their organization as specialty knowledge was needed."

Christine Komola, SVP and Corporate Controller
Staples

"Radford has truly delivered on their commitments to CDW, providing high-quality stock option valuation reports and assistance in reviewing these reports with our auditors. Radford has acted as our partner in the process, with a flexible, responsive approach in meeting requirements and deadlines and keeping the process simple. They're genuinely interested in producing a high quality valuation and ensuring we understand the issues and assumptions involved."

Robert Welyki, Vice President & Treasurer
CDW Corporation

"Our team was highly impressed by the thought leadership, responsiveness, and efficiency of Radford's valuation practice. Radford brought a disciplined methodology with very comprehensive analytics, which was automated for quick turnaround and affordability.

Their 'can-do' attitude, sense of urgency, flexibility, and responsiveness to our business needs is gratifying and reaffirms our decision to work together.

"Radford Valuation Services has been extremely responsive and insightful in helping Avaya understand and manage equity valuation. They have a strong ability to clearly articulate the issues and present strategies to help us manage expense in this complex area.

Michael J. Harrison, VP Total Rewards and HR Services
Avaya

"Terry's team helped us to understand our stock option valuations, walking us through important assumptions and ways to look at the data. With their assistance we were able to adopt the binomial model and explain it to our auditors. Without their help, our 123(R) implementation would have been far more difficult. We have continued to use Radford for all our option valuations for their high-quality, cost-effective, and efficient service."

Todd Naughton, Vice President & Controller
Zebra Technologies Corporation

"Radford Valuation Services helps AMD develop required assumptions for option price models and perform option valuation under FAS 123(R).

"I've never sent an e-mail thanking consultants before but Radford's work on National Semiconductor's options exchange program exceeded my expectations. Jon Burg and his project team did an outstanding job partnering with the internal and external organizations involved with the project, easing the entire process. I appreciate their hard work and highly recommend Radford for future projects."

Robert Ashe, Corporate Finance Director
