- The SEED team was easy to work with and even though we were warned about the “onerous” paperwork requirements, we found the process to be no different than any of the other audits we have experienced and is really just a part of normal accounting practices. We can safely say that without SEED we would still be tripping over boxes and wondering in what space we would be building our next camera or prepping for our next project.

- “Our journey with SEED began in 2009, when we transitioned from renting a building to owning our own facility. Fast forward to the present, it was an easy choice to turn to SEED once again. On both occasions, Lisa Holmes was instrumental in making the process easy and attainable, allowing our dream to become a reality. Even during a pandemic, we were able to nearly triple our square footage and grow from 27 employees in 2009 to just over 80 in 2021. It is with the support, encouragement, and the expertise of Lisa that these accomplishments are possible. Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and is relentless in her pursuit to help businesses grow. We couldn’t be more grateful for SEED, its support of small businesses and their owners."
