Why CLA?
We offer four distinct advantages
Deep Industry Specialization
First and foremost, our people are immersed in your industry. We know you, your organization, and your industry, combining our knowledge with yours to make you stronger.
Seamless, Integrated Capabilities
From startup through succession, we offer you what you need when you need it by leveraging a vast network of resources.
Premier Resource for Private Businesses and Their Owners
We believe entrepreneurs are the backbone of the economy, so we tailor our offerings for the privately held businesses — large and small — and to meet the specific needs of owners.
Inspired Careers
At CLA, you will work with resourceful people who are empowered to serve you rather than to merely perform obligatory functions.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Fostering DEI from top to bottom
Everyone who walks through CLA’s doors should feel welcome. Our team is made up of diverse professionals who speak a variety of languages and come from a wide range of backgrounds. We believe that including perspectives different from our own makes our firm better. We’re not just open to new ideas and challenges — we encourage them.
