Client Testimonials
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…Bonnie is kind, caring and extremely hard working and most importantly, conscientious. I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed!!! Her work ethic is beyond impeccable! 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!

SecretaryMont Alto BoroughBonnie has spent time diving into processes to track donations and affect our audit processes so that she can improve the entries that are made to our system throughout the year in preparation for year end. She's had to learn our donation tracking system and reports to some extent, and she's untangled some system pieces that I know are difficult to follow.
