Bjorn Zellner
Minneapolis, MN
This is Bjorn. He’s the boss. He’s also the business. Bjorn is no stranger to small businesses (even started a few in his younger years). He tried working for other people but kept thinking, “Hey, I think I could do this better”. And so, he stepped out on his own to start FNG in 2011 now Ledge Financial. But one thing was clear from the beginning. He refused to be just another accounting firm. We are proud to say we aren’t! In his spare time Bjorn likes to relax at his brother’s cabin with family.
Emily Zellner
Minneapolis, MN
Here’s Emily. She’s supported Ledge Financial since it was just a twinkle in Bjorn’s eye, watched it grow and back at the end of 2014 decided part time wasn’t enough. We’ve been taking full advantage of her communication and customer service skills, her personable nature, her ideas for process improvement and her ability to poke fun at Bjorn. Oh, did we mention she’s married to him too? In her down time she enjoys knitting, puzzling, and plants – all of the plants.
