SIMA Partners was great to work with. We here at the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches had them do a search for our Vice President for Finance/CFO and process that not only landed us a quality CFO but also led to some further work around Motivational assessments and some Executive Coaching. They were so easy to work with, I really appreciated the ease with which they communicated, their understanding of non-profit work and all that entails, and the connection we developed.
