Who We Are

About Us

In 1981 while still at the University, Irene began working with Gordon Hughes & Associates, a CPA firm in Elkhorn, WI. In March of 1983, Irene opened her own practice by sharing an office with a local Delevan Attorney. The business continued to grow mostly thru referrals from current clients. In May of 1983, Irene graduated from the University. Believing that continuing education is the touchstone of all professionals Irene began an 18-month long study of financial planning in 1986 Irene took and passed the Certified Financial Planners comprehensive two-day exam. Later in the same year, Irene took and passed the Series 7 securities exam.
1986 was a very busy year as a larger office was opening on Walworth Ave on the west side of Delevan, and additional staff added. Onward and upward the firm grew until we again needing more space. We purchased 517 E Walworth Ave where we are now located. We fell in love with the location between two large Victorians. It was a former Doctor's office as I am often reminded by clients, "It's Doc Martin's old office". Yes, it is although we have totally renovated it. In the fall of 2008 Scott Vilona, Irene's son joined the firm as there in house CPA.
We have been serving the population of Delevan and the surrounding communities for 30 years. We consider our current location and the City of Delevan our home. "WE ARE NEVER TOO BUSY TO HELP YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR FRIENDS"
