HISTORY
Grable CPA & Company is built on a foundation of family, integrity, and dedication to personalized service.
It all began in 1997 when David A. Townsend Sr., a University of Evansville graduate, opened Ledgerplus of Evansville. The firm quickly became known for its reliable accounting and tax services—and for treating clients like family. As a family-run business, Ledgerplus built lasting relationships with individuals and businesses throughout the Evansville community.
One of David’s grandsons, Cody Grable, grew up around the business and developed a passion for accounting at an early age. Determined to continue the family legacy, Cody earned degrees in Accounting and Finance from the University of Southern Indiana in 2015, and became a licensed CPA in 2016. He officially purchased the business in 2018 and led its evolution into a full-service financial firm.
With his passing of the Series 65 exam, Cody expanded the firm’s services to include wealth management, creating a more holistic approach to financial guidance. In 2019, the firm was rebranded as Grable CPA & Company to reflect its new vision while honoring its roots.
In 2023, Grable CPA & Company acquired the long-standing firm of Melvin Held, CPA in Santa Claus, Indiana, establishing a second location and extending our reach in the region.
Continuing this growth, in 2024 we proudly acquired Schneider and Evans in Mount Vernon, Indiana, further expanding our presence in Southern Indiana and welcoming new clients into the Grable CPA family.
