Raised local. Built different.
She learned business
before she learned
long division.
Growing up in a local-style home in Honolulu, Leanne knew the meaning of hard work before she could spell it. Her parents ran a small auto repair shop — the kind where customers were neighbors, handshakes meant something, and every dollar mattered. She swept floors, watched her mom work the register, and learned a truth most accountants never do: the numbers aren't just numbers. They're someone's livelihood.
"I didn't go to school to learn about small business. I grew up inside one."
Island roots. Mainland-proof work ethic.
What drives her
Four things that never change, no matter the client.
Not a mission statement. Just how Leanne has always worked — and will always work.
Local First, Always
Hawaii has its own tax rules, its own business culture, its own rhythm. The GET isn't something mainland accountants think about. Vacation rental deductions in Hawaii are different. Food truck regulations are different. Leanne knows the difference — because she lives it too.
Plain Talk, Not Jargon
Your books should be understandable to you — not just to an accountant. Leanne translates every report into plain English and won't hand you something you can't make a decision from. If you don't understand it, she hasn't done her job.
In It With You, Personally
Your file doesn't get handed to a junior. You work with Leanne — every time, all the time. When you call, she picks up. When something changes with your business, she wants to know. That's not a policy. That's just how she works.
Invest in Outcomes
Your success is her success. She doesn't just file your taxes — she helps you keep more of what you earn.
Twenty years of credentials — and one standard that matters more than any of them.
The certifications are real and current. But the credential Leanne's clients actually care about is simpler: she knows Hawaii, she knows small business, and she's been at this for two decades without a single client who had to worry about an audit she didn't see coming.
