“I’ve heard it said that genius is perseverance in disguise. At Sequent, our genius is in our dogged determination to help our clients succeed. It is in their success that we take pride.”
"Most businesses are started or created by an entrepreneur, often as a result of their vision or burning passion….they are energized, inspired and motivated! Then one day their world is turned upside down by one simple defining moment…they hire employees. Now they are seemingly no longer an entrepreneur…they are an EMPLOYER!"
