Oreon Partners

After working in the accounting profession for 50+ years, Sue Surace is about to begin her well-deserved retirement. Sue’s journey began in 1973 when, at just 15 years old, she joined a local accounting firm as a secretary. Later working as a data processor, before becoming an accountant and manager, Sue remained loyal to the business for an amazing 45 years. Through multiple ownership changes, the firm eventually became Oreon Partners, where Sue has worked alongside Tom Carr since 2014. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, with some relationships spanning over 40 years and across second and third generations of family businesses. Sue’s contributions have been truly remarkable, and she will be deeply missed. From all of us at Oreon, thank you for your decades of commitment and expertise. We wish you a joyful and well-deserved retirement!
