Cheryl Anderson brings our “Be an Owner” company value to life through her commitment to SSC, her clients, and the future of the firm.

As we celebrate National ESOP Month, Cheryl’s story is a meaningful example of how employee ownership can grow from a benefit into a mindset. Since joining SSC in 2018, she has gained a deeper appreciation for how individual effort, client service, and teamwork contribute to the firm’s long-term success.

As Cheryl prepares for retirement in March 2027, the ESOP has become a tangible reminder of the value created through years of service. She especially encourages younger employees to understand their ownership opportunity early and recognize how consistent effort today can create meaningful value for the future.

For Cheryl, being an owner means understanding the bigger picture and recognizing that when we work together to help SSC succeed, everyone has the opportunity to benefit.
“The harder we work for the company, the more opportunity grows for all of us.” — Cheryl Anderson, Associate

We are proud to have Cheryl on our team and grateful for the lasting impact she continues to make as an employee owner.

A little rain couldn't dampen a great cause. ⛳

We're grateful to have been part of a day dedicated to connection, generosity, and better healthcare for our community.

Is your business your biggest investment?

What happens to the business you’ve spent years building when you’re ready for what’s next?

It’s a big question, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

For some owners, an ESOP can create a path forward that rewards employees, keeps the business moving, and protects the legacy they worked hard to build. You don’t have to have your entire exit figured out to start the conversation. In fact, earlier is usually better.

You signed the deal. Now what happens on Monday morning?

For Harrison Henderson, joining SSC meant figuring out the part of M&A that doesn’t always make the headline: bringing teams together, introducing new systems, taking care of clients, and making sure the culture that took years to build didn’t disappear in the process.

Our latest case study goes behind the scenes of the Harrison Henderson + SSC merger and what made it work. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/4APpOEP

In January 2026, the leadership of Oklahoma-based Harrison Henderson PLLC found the answer that addressed it all.

Hiring good people can be hard. Then keeping them, helping them grow, developing future leaders, and giving them a reason to see a future with your company is a whole different challenge.

It’s one reason employee ownership gets our attention. When employees have a stake in what they’re helping build, success becomes something everyone can share in.

There’s a lot more to an ESOP than that, of course. See how the structure works and whether it could make sense for your business: https://bit.ly/3TD3Tjk

Good leadership shows up in a lot of ways, such as asking the right questions, solving the tough problems, mentoring the next generation, and sometimes simply being the person everyone knows they can count on.

This National Women’s Small Business Month, we’re celebrating some of the women across SSC who bring that kind of leadership to our firm every day.

We’re proud to have their voices at the table and happy to see their leadership help shape the future at SSC.

For us, it came down to a pretty simple idea: we wanted the people building this firm every day to have a stake in its future.

Being 100% employee-owned helps us protect what makes SSC, SSC (our culture, our relationships, and the way we take care of our clients) while giving our team the opportunity to share what we’re building together.

Turns out, having owners throughout the company changes the way you think about the future.

Employee-owned isn’t just something we put in our bio. It changes the way we think about the work we do and the future we’re building.

As a 100% employee-owned firm, we see that ownership mindset at work every day.

October is National ESOP Month, so we’ll be sharing a little more about what ownership looks like around here, why it matters to our clients, and why more business owners are considering ESOPs as they think about what’s next.
