WATERTOWN, MA — Seven Cycles hired Tim Carney as its finance and accounting manager. Prior to Seven, Carney worked for Gallagher, Flynn, & Co., Vermont's largest accounting firm. He also worked at Deloitte & Touche after graduating first in his class at Bently College. Carney is a Boston native and an avid cyclist. "This is an exciting hire for us. We added 20 percent more management infrastructure. As well as bringing additional financial savvy to the company, Tim will enable us to expand our marketing effort by freeing me up to focus on it," said Jennifer Miller, who in addition to heading up Seven's marketing also has managed the company's financials. "I can actually get rid of one of my business cards;' she quipped. Carney reports to Rob Vandermark, Seven's president.

Seven also added two production employees, as well as a new sales team member and an additional customer service representative. The new hires come as the seven-year-old company closes its sixth consecutive year of profitability, Miller said. Seven's first-quarter sales were up 38 percent over last year, she said.
