Leonard Mello is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Restaurant Broker®, and restaurant industry veteran who has spent decades owning, operating, and growing restaurant businesses. That combination is rare in this industry: he understands the numbers because he's a CPA, he understands the transaction because he's a certified broker, and he understands the operations because he's lived them, from concept development and staffing to marketing, profitability, and the eventual sale.

Having owned more than 6 restaurants locations himself, Leonard knows the challenges owners face firsthand. His CPA background gives clients something most brokers can't offer: rigorous financial analysis, credible business valuations, and strategic insight that goes well beyond listing a business and waiting for offers.

Today, Leonard helps restaurant owners maximize the value of their businesses and guides buyers toward opportunities that fit their goals, budget, and lifestyle. Whether he's advising a first-time buyer or helping an experienced operator plan a profitable exit, clients get the same thing: straight answers, detailed evaluations, and a transaction handled with professionalism and integrity from start to finish.
