Zevac & Lindsey, L.L.C. traces its roots back to 1955 with the establishment of Lewie F. Childree & Company, CPA's by Mr. Childree. The firm located its original offices in downtown Mobile and served clients throughout Alabama and Southeastern Mississippi.

Throughout the subsequent years, the firm has chosen to devote itself to a select group of clients with close personal service dictated by the needs of each individual client.

In 1959, after serving about one year with another local CPA firm, G. Wayne Boggan joined the expanded firm of Childree, Kerlin and Lawrence. A couple of years later the partners split. Each went their separate ways. Shortly thereafter, on January 1, 1962, Mr. Boggan became partners with Mr. Childree and George Gunn, Jr. with the firm adopting the name Childree, Gunn and Boggan.

Gunn and Boggan continued their partnership even after the unexpected death of the firm's founding partner, Lewie Childree in 1964. The two worked side-by-side until 1971 when Gunn elected to leave the firm to become the controller of The Mitchell Company.

On January 1, 1972, Mr. J. Donald Melton and Mr. Phillip H. Bellew were admitted as partners and the firm changed its name to Boggan, Melton and Bellew. Following Melton's departure in 1977, the firm shortened its name to Boggan and Bellew.

Boggan and Bellew separated in May, 1986 and Boggan established a new partnership with his senior accountants, David Zevac and Jacquelin Jones. The partnership of Boggan, Zevac and Jones was later incorporated under the same name in 1992.

Richard Lindsey joined the firm as a senior accountant in 1996 after working for another local accounting firm and as an adjunct professor of accounting at the University of South Alabama.

Following Boggan's 2000 retirement, David Zevac and Richard Lindsey formed Boggan, Zevac & Lindsey, L.L.C., later shortening the name to the current Zevac & Lindsey, L.L.C.. David Zevac passed away in 2006.

We know this history isn't easy to read and may not even seem important to some of you, but if you've made it this far, what should be important to you is that some of those early clients are still with us, or some of those clients' children or grandchildren.

We believe it's because of the value of the relationship we build with you. At Zevac & Lindsey, you'll find we don't treat all our clients the same. We treat you special!
