We had to bid out our supplier audits, and we picked SC&H because they were the best selection – even up against “Big Four” firms. These large firms are unwilling to go the extra mile; they have a script that does not fit our company’s box. SC&H is nimble, dependable, can adapt to what we need, and do so faster.”
