SX Business Services Employee Spotlight: Lisa Moran, Client Controller

Lisa joined SX in September of 2021 with 24 years’ experience in commercial and residential real estate accounting. During her time at Northeastern University, she worked in public accounting throughout her co-ops. After graduating from NU with a degree in accounting, she worked for several international companies with divisions in the UK and Canada, then made her move into real estate accounting.

Lisa met her husband Bob on a blind date, and have been together for 34 years! They are approaching their 29th wedding anniversary! They share two sons, Jack, 25, a 2018 graduate of Plymouth State University with a degree in sports management/minor in sales and Jeff, 21 a Junior at Michigan State University where he is majoring in Communications. Don’t tell the boys, but their baby girl, Kennedy, is almost 5 years old and is a Chocolate Lab/Australian Shepard mix. She is the love of their life.

Beyond her breadth of work experience, she brings her lively spirit and positive attitude to the office. She loves to travel and credits her grandmother for taking her overseas to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Greece, and Italy. Their family loves a good road trip too. Their goal is to travel around the U.S. to visit all Major League baseball parks and have been to 29 of the 30, with only Seattle left to see.

 

Her commitment to her family and her work bleeds over into her community. She is the team manager for the Dedham Clippers Swim team. She runs the concession stand for Dedham Youth Baseball. She is the Treasurer and Board member for the Dedham television station. Additionally, she has served many years as a Town Meeting Member and served as district chair for 8 years. She is now an elected official serving on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Incredibly she served as chairwoman this year – the first woman Commissioner and Chair elected in 15 years!



During her downtime (yes, I am surprised she has some too) she is very involved with the Miss America pageant at the state level, as a judge for many local events and volunteering in several capacities. She has been to watch the Miss America pageant three times. Her other passion is dance and she is back to taking weekly dance classes, 50 years after her first lessons. She is admittedly obsessed with Dancing with the Stars and has been to 13 of the live tours. During one of her visits to see the DWTS live tour she was able to secure a video of the cast recommending her for entry to a Dancing with the Stars fundraising competition in her town! She was accepted and after weeks of grueling rehearsals and after a first-place tie, she was ultimately deemed the runner up. A few years later, on the 10th anniversary of the competition, she was able to return as an all-star with her dance team. Their dance performance from Grease earned her the sweet redemption she was looking when they won the whole shabang!

By Lindsay Van Kauwenberg • May 1, 2025
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 Business Services Employee Spotlight: Jillian Palmieri, Property Accounting

By Lindsay Van Kauwenberg • April 17, 2025
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.
