On a snow day in 2012, when kids had the day off from school and people were encouraged to stay off the roads, Jeff Westphal, second-generation CEO of Vertex Inc., called his sisters and asked for a meeting that day.
Stevie Westphal Thompson and Amanda Westphal Radcliffe are co-owners with Jeff of Vertex Inc., a tax software company in King of Prussia, Pa. Worried that something might be wrong, the sisters braved the snow to meet their brother at a local restaurant.
