Indeed they do (and I used to work there).
I think your boss does mean 'seasonally adjusted', but "to average out
a rolling curve" sounds like something different. You should probably
pin down exactly what he means. If there's a standard term for it you
should use it, but you need to be sure it's the correct one.
