Attempting to start up a new 8(a) certified business without Melanie Roller's expert consultation is akin to attempting to cross the ocean without a compass. Melanie is the definitive expert on the (ever changing!) rules and regulations which surround the Alaska Small Business Administration. Ignore her advice at your peril! I recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation.
- Dave Stephens, CEO

Melanie is a great resource for any company involved in government contracting.  She has extensive knowledge with the morass of details required to do business with the government.  If she doesn?t have the information she knows how to seek and find it.  I find her guidance on the SBA 8(a) application process and relationship with the SBA office to be invaluable.  However; that is only a subset of value she can bring to your company.  She keeps me posted on the latest happenings, changes and politics in the government world as it relates to our business.  My staff both locally in Alaska and the Lower 48 have received extensive training from Melanie on SBA compliance and how to leverage your marketing efforts under various government regulations and agencies.  I enjoy working with Melanie on an ongoing basis.
