Having served Ford Motor Company as an internal auditor and Murphy, Lanier and Quinn as a public accountant, Leo J. Mellott established his own public accounting firm in 1956.

Leo enjoyed a sterling reputation based on integrity, quality, and service. He was soon joined by his son, Don Mellott, Sr., and the two worked tirelessly to develop the Firm to be one of the best in Cincinnati.

Today, Don Mellott, Jr. and his brother John represent the third generation of Mellotts to serve the accounting, auditing, and tax needs of discerning regional clients.

Mellott & Mellott has grown steadily, from two employees in 1956, to today's staff of about 40 team members. This steady growth is continuing as outlined in the Firm’s strategic plan developed under managing partner, Don Mellott, Jr.

The traditional values that served as the foundation for its early success continue to represent the driving characteristics of Mellott & Mellott today.
