Diane S. Le Blanc -Owner

Diane began her career with the Corporate Trust Division of Bank of America.  Within six months she was promoted by management over many of her colleagues.  This was a very empowering experience.  This promotion introduced her to accounting and bookkeeping where she worked directly with Trust Officer's.  From there she transferred into retail banking where she learned the operations of branch banking and remained for the balance of her 4 ½ years of employment with Bank of America.

​

Diane’s banking career continued with Wells Fargo Bank, starting out as a bank teller, then becoming vault teller and then moving into bookkeeping and accounting.  She was promoted to Banking Services Officer and later to Assistant Branch Manager.  She achieved her final goal when she was promoted to Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager.  With each advancement, Diane received special rewards and recognition, one notably given by the Chairman of the Board as one of a handful of his “Million Dollar Employees”.

​

At age 36, Diane decides to retire from Wells Fargo Bank and open a specialty sweater store in Berkeley, CA.   After three years in business, Diane returned to Wells Fargo Bank for a short stay in the Credit Card Division.

​

With her entrepreneurial spirit, Diane and her chef husband Harold opened a restaurant in the Montclair Business District of Oakland.  After a six-year stint, Diane opened her tax business, Diane’s Tax Preparation and Consulting Service.
