At SMC, we take pride in being a women-owned business with a focus on technical expertise and ethical business practices.  Importantly, we believe in the independence of business operations and ownership without embracing the trends of debt-driven external funding and aggressive growth for the sole purpose of profits.

​

We put ethics, technical excellence, and the interests of our clients, employees, and business partners before profits.

​

We strongly support diversity in the workforce and in business ownership.  To this end, we help independent emerging or brand new small businesses - including minority or economically challenged start-ups - to grow and succeed.  We go to great lengths to engage and train smaller firms, taking them under our wing as subcontractors and colleagues.  Many of these firms grow to become our direct competition which we welcome.  As we started from scratch ourselves, we take great pride in helping others find their way to business success.

​

For our employees, we prioritize work/life balance and career progression, regardless of gender, race, education, credentials, or any other individual attribute.  In our view, what matters most is what one can contribute and how it applies to what we do.
