Seay Management Consultants

What Seay Management Consultants does

Seay Management Consultants, doing business as Seay HR, is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida that provides HR consulting, fractional HR leadership, and project-based HR services primarily to small and mid-sized businesses across the United States. The firm was founded in 1966 by Ken Morefield, acquired by Sandy Seay in 1980, and transitioned to current owner Marci LaRouech in 2024; it operates as Seay HR LLC and has no institutional backing. Seay HR serves more than 400 businesses, with particular depth in compliance-heavy verticals such as pest control (via NPMA membership), roofing (via FRSA membership), and linen rental, as well as professional services, manufacturing, high-growth technology firms, and Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) searchers.

The firm's core offering is built on human-delivered consulting rather than proprietary technology. Two flagship engagement models anchor revenue: (1) Fractional HR retainers that provide ongoing monthly access to a dedicated HR consultant for compliance, employee relations, and strategic planning, and (2) project-based engagements such as employee handbook development, HR management audits, affirmative action plans, compensation analyses, and on-site training. Specialized services for ETA searchers address due diligence and post-acquisition HR setup. Pricing is custom and quote-based, billed monthly for retainers and per-project for one-off work, positioned as a cost-effective alternative to hiring full-time HR staff.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led, combining direct outreach via phone and website contact forms with referral pipelines generated through industry association partnerships. Marketing relies on educational content (blog articles, downloadable HR resource bundles, an annual HR checklist) to drive inbound leads. The firm holds no patents, has no public revenue disclosures, and reports no funding events, consistent with a long-standing, founder-led professional services practice that has scaled organically over six decades.
