Ladan Burroughs

Meet our Founder

LBBS Group,Inc.  was founded by Ladan Burroughs, who grew up in Tehran, Iran. Ladan moved to Santa Rosa in the 70’s during the Iranian revolution.  She studied bookkeeping in college and later worked her way up in the finance world and County jobs. Ladan has decades of experience and a deep knowledge of the challenges faced by businesses. She recognized a need within the small business community for knowledgeable and trustworthy service providers.

Ladan enjoys gardening, spending time with her children, studies self-development, is an avid reader and has a passion for uplifting and giving back to the community. Ladan’s commitment to give back to the community can be seen through her personal involvement of distributing essential items to the homeless and those less fortunate as well as donating to Christian organizations.

Recently, when asked why she decided to start her own firm, Ms. Burroughs responded, “I purchased an existing business so I could be my own boss and have more time for my kids,”. “It’s satisfying helping my clients solve problems every day and to offer them peace of mind.”

Client Testimonial

“Ladan has done our payroll since she bought CanDo Payroll. Ladan was so reliable when our business grew and we needed help with bookkeeping and accounting we turned to her. Ladan and her associates are extremely responsive, helpful and insightful in setting up systems for our business that don’t fit the mold.”
