Our story
You may wonder why a LGBTQIA+ owned, women-led firm is called Leo & Vern
Let me tell your our story...
It begins with one of my favorite people ever, my grandpa. See, grandpa was an accountant and everything I'll ever aspire to be. He was brave, always learning, cared deeply about people, gave back to his community, fun, resourceful...
And with his career, (combined with grandma who herself was the powerhouse I named my youngest child after) he built a legacy that impacted the next three generations of our family.
Grandpa always thought about going out on his own and starting his own business. He never did but his financial savvy created lasting ripples in our lives.
And that wasn't the only legacy he left behind. His work ethic and desire to put people first inform my business decisions every day.
That's why I founded my business - to help others create their own legacy
Because without grandpa, I wouldn't be where I am today. His love, his dedication, that's what I want each and every one of my clients to feel. That's why I named it after him. Leo Vern Welch, my hero.
