SX Business Services Employee Spotlight: Janine Parrella
April 2, 2021

Senior Accounts Payable Team Leader

Janine is a college graduate, a wife, a mother, an outstanding employee and the next employee in the spotlight for SX Business Services.


After graduating in 1995 from Billerica High School, Janine attended Nichols College. There she earned a degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in marketing. After graduation, she joined HealthGate Data Corporation in Burlington, MA as a Marketing Communications Specialist. After 3 years, the excitement of city life enticed her to move to South Boston, where she worked as an Executive Assistant and Showroom Manager for Haworth, Inc, located in the Boston Design Center. During her 5 years managing trade shows and showroom events, Janine met and began dating her now husband, David. They married in 2006 and moved back to the suburbs. While working in Waltham for a start-up called StarRF, Janine met SX Business Service’s President and CEO, John Fleming.


In 2009, she had her son Samuel and then her daughter Jacqui was born in 2011. Through the years, she kept in touch with John. She was fortunate to stay primarily at home while her kids were young. However, once they became school age, Janine came to work for SX Business full-time.


Now at age 11, Sam is in 5th grade and loves hockey. Jacqui is 9 and in 4th grade. She is an All Star Cheerleader and also participates in dance. Their fur baby Derek is 8 and was rescued 7 years ago.  He loves to cuddle, chase squirrels, play with other pups, and bark at everything.


In their free time, they enjoy family dinners and s'mores by the fire pit.  They also spend their summers enjoying the pool and entertaining friends and family. They love to go to the beach and many of their vacations are spent with family who live in North Carolina. David and Janine enjoy kid-free dinners, spending time with other adults, and going to country music concerts.


What do you like most about your job, and/or working for SX?

What I enjoy most of about working for SX is the ability to be home during this pandemic.  I also appreciate all its employees and the hard work everyone has been demonstrating.  Times are tough, and there is a lot of work to be done.  Through all the uncertainties, we have been able to achieve great things.  Keep up the good work!


If you could have any other job what would it be?

If I could have any other job, I would be an interior designer.  I enjoy shopping, decorating and creating warm environments for families to call home.

SX Business Services is proud to introduce our newest Accounts Payable Administrator, Ed Keogh. His first job out of school was in financial services in Dublin where he spent 7 years working in various roles in the branch. Originally from southwest Dublin, he emigrated to the US in 2003. Married for 22 years to his lovely wife Sue they share two sons together, Aodhan (18) and Ryan (12) and a beautiful love story. They met at a bar in Dublin one Wednesday night and hit it off immediately while she was travelling through Europe. After a week or two of dating they took a vacation together and before the trip ended, he asked her to marry him with only his Claddagh ring. The importance of family was instilled in Ed as he was raised in a small 3-bedroom house with his parents and 6 siblings. He tries to return to Ireland once a year and brings his family back when he can. He loves watching, playing, and coaching football (OK soccer) and has been a volunteer Treasurer for Norwood Youth Soccer since 2019. His favorite team is Manchester United, and his favorite US soccer team is the NE Revolution. Additionally, he enjoys woodworking and has a small woodshop in his basement at home. He and his wife have traveled extensively together through the years and have also brought their kids to places such as: Ireland (obviously), Mexico, Canada, Spain, and Dominican Republic. Once they find a place they like, they are known to go back. Ed in his own words: What do you like about working at SX so far? “I love how friendly everyone is since I only started last month. I love the collaborative spirit as well. I love the work, my team and everyone I have come into contact with here.”

SX was fortunate to welcome Jillian as a staff accountant in December of 2023, she was quickly and deservedly promoted to the position of Property Accountant a year later. She is a graduate of Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – with an accounting major and business management minor. Her father has been a business owner for 43 years and motivated her to garner the minor in business management to someday follow in his footsteps. Growing up in West Bridgewater, MA, she claims her summers were the best part of living there and enjoyed each season at the beach tanning away. She has two older siblings, one brother and one sister whom she is very close to. Her family had a black labrador for over 13 years and they miss her dearly. Someday she wishes to be home more to have the flexibility to adopt at least one dog again. She is looking forward to the opportunity to travel and has never really left the United States. Her family went to Niagara Falls on the Canada side when she was two… that counts right!!? A short list of dream locales to visit include Italy, Greece, Dubai, Hawaii, and any other tropical islands. Jillian – ‘In her own words’: Have you learned anything new as an adult that you didn’t experience as a child? I recently tried skiing for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. I gave my retired gymnast self-credit as it was easy to learn. I enjoy being active. If you could have any other job, what would it be? My dream job would be to own a busy coffee shop or café since my two prior years working at Starbucks gained me a coffee addiction. I would also like to open a business for mind/body health – such as a trampoline park to help people suffering from fibromyalgia/ being a fitness instructor/ and potentially help people further with their health through supplementation/diet. What do you like most about your job, and/or working for SX? I enjoy accounting especially ever since I got to SX – I have noticed great vibes since coming here, and everyone is super helpful. We really make a great team.
