VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul

Allan Branch, a third-generation entrepreneur from Bay County, Florida, has continued his family's legacy of business success initially built on restaurants and car washes in the 1940s. As a graduate and division one football player at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Allan excelled in athletics, academics, and many other hobbies before founding his online accounting platform, LessAccounting, which he later sold for seven figures. Additionally, he was able to create a successful video production company, while also investing in prime real estate. Branch and his wife have worked to revitalize downtown Panama City by purchasing and redeveloping blighted properties, including History Class Brewing Company and The Sapp House wedding venue, and plan to do even more. Did we mention he's also running for mayor? Inspired by the desire to positively impact his community, Branch hopes to fully revitalize the downtown area of Panama City, making it more enjoyable and lively for the community at large.
