Client Testimonials

  • They are understanding of our needs as a small municipality, affordable, available to assist with minor questions that come up involving the accounting throughout the year, and conduct a thorough, efficient annual financial audit. Two great accountants are Craig Witmer and Teena Curnow, who also generally attend and present the audit report to the Board of Supervisors and handle the public's questions and concerns. While always professional, they are also very friendly and respectful. They are on the cutting edge and keep us informed and compliant with any new regulations, especially any new GASB regulations. It is a pleasure to work with such professional and skilled accountants through many years and many audits conducted for Rye Township. Thank you!

  • Audit time has always been a stressful, hectic time for our Township. This was our first year of working with SEK, CPAs & Advisors rather than elected auditors & I couldn't have asked for a smoother transition! The entire process, from the initial consultation to the final submittals, was absolutely painless.

  • As the new accountant to the Landfill, I was facing a lot of stress regarding the upcoming audit. We made our best decision when we decided to hire SEK. What I thought was going to be a painful mess worked out to be a drastically less stressful event thanks to a strong audit team. They conducted themselves in a confident, relaxed, professional manner. They knew our industry, they know what they’re doing, and they do it well, making my job so much easier than expected. Thank you and see you next year!

  • When the Borough reached a precarious point almost a year ago, I reached out to SEK. I was met with calm, collected, intelligent personnel who stepped in and conquered the Borough office as if they has been here forever. I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed!!! From budgeting to everyday accounting functions, all work is done timely and accurately. Staff has been on site for training and they’ve all been extremely professional. What can I say about SEK? AMAZING!
