Cheryl started Seale CPA & Company in 2002 and dedicates it to the success of local small businesses. Their diverse client base ranges from engineering firms, defense contractors, medical professionals, electricians, travel agents, contractors, retailers and even farmers. Cheryl thrives on challenges and makes it a priority to stay abreast of industry trends. Her zest for tackling software integration projects tie industry-specific products like inventory control software into QuickBooks or another accounting package.

Cheryl has been from public accounting, into industry, then back to public accounting. She has served as Controller, CFO, and consultant in diverse industries such as medical devices companies, a statewide association, and marketing firms. All of these experiences led her to be a strong advocate for her small-business clients.

Cheryl’s mission is to bring order to her client's financials, while training the business owners to properly maintain that order. “That way,” she says, “there are no surprises at the end of the year. You know your cash flow, budget, whether there’s income or loss. Because that’s the dangerous part of being a small business – not knowing where you are at any given time.” She also helps her clients remain in compliance with the multitude of tax and reporting requirements faced by businesses large and small, including payroll taxes, franchise taxes, sales tax, income tax, and end-of-year reports.
