Seawright & Associates

What Seawright & Associates does

Seawright & Associates, Inc. is a privately held U.S. human resources consulting firm headquartered in Maitland, Florida, founded in 1995 by Jean Seawright. The firm delivers advisory services to organizations ranging from start-ups to multi-million dollar publicly traded companies, with a horizontal segmentation approach across industries such as architecture, beverage bottling, environmental/resource management, hospitality, interior design, financial services, and technology.

The core product is the Monthly HR Program, a subscription-style engagement providing unlimited telephone and email consultation, document review and analysis, regulatory research across state and federal employment law (ADA, EEOC, FMLA, Wage and Hour), and a management newsletter. Optional add-on modules include a Human Resource Compliance Audit and a Toll-Free Employee Hotline, supplemented by standalone offerings in Speaking/Training and Expert Witness litigation support. Publicly available free resources on the site include U.S. Department of Labor FMLA forms and posters. The technology stack is minimal and human-delivery centric — there is no proprietary software platform, API, or AI/ML component disclosed, and the core asset is the expertise of the firm's principals.

Commercially, the firm operates a direct B2B sales motion with a single-country U.S. domestic footprint, supported by content marketing through its own website and earned media placements in Inc.com, FastCompany.com, Newsweek, Orlando.BizJournals.com, and BusinessWeek.com. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly retainers, project-based consulting with special client rates for existing subscribers, and ancillary speaking/training and expert witness engagements. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding or M&A activity, the firm operates as a founder-led boutique consultancy whose scale depends on the personal bandwidth of Jean Seawright and a small senior practitioner team.

Direct peers

• Sequoia Consulting Group: HR consulting and outsourced HR services firm serving small and mid-sized businesses across the U.S. Highly comparable business model: subscription-style HR advisory, compliance support, and policy/handbook development sold to employers.
• Strategic HR Inc. Boutique HR outsourcing and consulting firm providing HR administration, compliance, and advisory to small and mid-market U.S. employers. Closely matches Seawright's recurring-service model and customer segment.
• MBO Partners: Consulting-led HR and compliance provider focused on independent contractors and the contingent workforce. Comparable as a specialized HR advisory practice delivering compliance, policy, and risk-mitigation services to employer clients.

Broad incumbents

• Insperity: Large-scale HR services provider offering HR outsourcing, payroll, benefits, and compliance to SMB and mid-market U.S. employers. Same end customers and overlapping compliance/advisory offering, but at significantly greater scale and with bundled technology.
• TriNet: HR solutions provider for small and medium-sized businesses including payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR advisory. Same target buyer (SMB CEO/owner) and overlapping compliance and HR-policy support, but bundled with technology and benefits administration.
• Justworks: HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance platform for small businesses. Reaches the same U.S. SMB segment that Seawright serves with the Monthly HR Program, but via a software-first delivery model.
• ADP: Largest U.S. HR/payroll/benefits/compliance provider. Overlaps with Seawright on employment-compliance guidance and HR advisory, particularly for SMB and mid-market employers, though delivered via integrated technology.
• Ogletree Deakins: Major U.S. employment-law firm that consults employers on HR compliance, policy, and litigation — directly overlapping Seawright's expert-witness, compliance, and policy services but at law-firm scale and pricing.
• Fisher Phillips: National labor and employment law firm advising employers on HR compliance, workplace policies, and litigation. Comparable in subject matter (FMLA, ADA, EEOC, wage-hour) and customer base, though positioned as legal counsel rather than HR consulting.

Emerging players

• XpertHR: HR compliance and best-practices platform providing templates, tools, and compliance research to HR professionals. Comparable content set to Seawright's regulatory research and FMLA forms offerings, delivered via a software/portal model.
