Anne Gannon

Founder & Principal at The Largo Group

Speaker

Anne Gannon, CPA, is a restaurant finance advisor and founder of The Largo Group. Her book, Building The Next Emerging Brand (2025), distills two decades of work with hospitality entrepreneurs into learnable, actionable, replicable principles that move a concept from “working hard” to gaining traction. She translates accounting into operator-first habits—inventory discipline, labor controls, contribution-per-item pricing, and one-page weekly reviews—so teams make faster, better calls. Anne focuses leaders on what actually builds an emerging brand: crisp positioning, a menu engineered for contribution (not vanity), guardrails on spend and waste, and a cadence that converts P&L into repeatable wins. Known for plain English and measurable outcomes, she coaches independents and multi-unit groups on menu engineering, scheduling and overtime risk, vendor terms, cash-flow visibility, and closed-loop accountability that sticks in a busy kitchen.
