Biography of Anne Gannon:
ANNE GANNON is an entrepreneur at heart. She founded The Largo Group in 2016 because of her belief that accounting needs to be done differently. Rather than an accounting firm with a hands-off approach, she structured The Largo Group to take an active role with businesses through a monthly accounting system. They first found the way into restaurants, because it’s an industry that has so many variables and is the hardest accounting job. Over the past ten years, Anne has worked with over 500 companies all over the United States – ranging in revenue from $5 to $50 million. There are very few people that know more about small businesses than Anne, simply because she has spent a decade on weekly calls with owners around the country. She hears their frustrations, understands their pain points, and helps them navigate challenges while planning for the expansion phase of the business.
