About VGL & Co.
Structure that supports the business.
Systems that support growth.
You have built something real. Now you need the internal foundation to match it.
VGL and Co. works with service-based businesses, founders, and nonprofits across the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County, and nationwide to build the structure that makes sustainable growth possible.
Meet the Founder
Veronica Larios, CEO & Principal Consultant
My understanding of business started long before I became a consultant.
I grew up watching my late father build and run his own business. Seeing the responsibility, sacrifice, and pride that came with entrepreneurship shaped the way I think about business owners and the work they carry.
Over the past twenty years, I have worked across operations, systems, finance, human resources, compliance, leadership, consulting, and coaching. That experience taught me how businesses operate, but working directly with founders taught me that no two people carry their business the same way.
Some clients need a clear framework and an honest assessment. Others need space to think out loud before the real issue becomes clear.
Some conversations focus on systems, structure, and strategy. Others focus on the person leading the business and what the responsibility is asking of them.
I adapt to what is actually needed. I bring structure and experience to the work, but I do not force every client into the same process.
I am also a wife, mother, grandmother, business owner, and active member of my community and professional network. I am also a board member to a few nonprofits. Those roles shape how I lead, listen, and understand the realities that exist outside of the business.
VGL & Co. works with a limited number of clients at a time because meaningful advisory work requires attention, honesty, and real involvement.
Every client receives the full depth of the work, not a templated version of it.

The Team
VGL and Co. is a boutique firm supported by a select group of experienced consultants who share the same commitment to quality, care, and confidentiality.
Engagements are staffed based on what your specific situation requires so you always have the right people in your corner.
What We Believe
Honesty builds trust. We tell clients what they actually need to hear. Not the version that is easy to say, but the one that moves things forward.
Structure creates space. When the right systems exist, the chaos quiets. You stop reacting and start leading with intention.
The work has to be usable. Everything we build is designed to be implemented, not filed away and forgotten.
The person behind the business matters. Sustainable growth requires a leader who is operating with clarity and capacity. We never lose sight of that.
Work with us
If you are building a business that needs real structure behind it, this is where that work begins.
