“He was also a CPA; he had been with a big-eight accounting firm back in the 60s,” Denny said. “And then my mother was also a CPA.”
Denny’s mother put herself through school while raising six children.
“(She) went to a top-five accounting school and passed through it in a period when women were not encouraged,” Denny said. “She faced a lot of discrimination … back in the 70s.”
After finishing school, Denny’s mother worked for several government agencies, becoming the controller of the City of Beverly Hills, before she decided to work for a local CPA firm in Glendale.
“Once she got her license, after passing the CPA exam, my dad retired from the bank and they started the practice together down in Glendale in 1984, 1985,” Denny said.
Denny himself was serving as a state legislator in Montana, where Denny & Company, LLP had two offices, before relocating to California.
To this day, Denny still works alongside his mother at the Denny & Company, LLP in Valencia.
“She’s right down the hall,” he said.
