Suzie Wingate – Director of Finance

All companies must have someone that oversees the company finances, payroll, and human resource functions. For Sterling, this person is Suzie Wingate. Suzie has been with Sterling for over 15 years and is considered one of our veteran employees. Her responsibilities include overseeing accounting and financing activities and human resource functions at Sterling. With more than twenty years of experience in the accounting field, from both service and manufacturing industries, it is obvious Suzie is an asset to Sterling.

Prior to joining Sterling, Suzie worked for a local CPA firm in the Client Services department servicing a variety of small, medium-sized, and large clients providing client write-up and tax work. It is also there where Suzie met the man of her dreams, now her husband of eleven years, and father of their two children. Prior to that Suzie was the bookkeeper for a food manufacturer in Clearwater, Florida which was headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. This is where Suzie gained most of her knowledge in cost accounting, which has proven to be extremely valuable when she joined Sterling years later.

Suzie graduated from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management. When Suzie is not crunching numbers for Sterling, Suzie enjoys spending time with her family, cooking out, and having fun with her kids. After Suzie finishes watching her kids learn new Tae Kwon Do moves, she can probably be found on the football or soccer field cheering on one of her kids.
