Our Southern California practice has an exceptional track record as well as the breadth of knowledge and international experience needed to serve this
dynamic and diverse region. Our team has owned and run companies in the Technology, Transport/Logistics, Business Services and Banking Sectors both in the US and internationally.
In our collective 50 years of M&A and Corporate Finance experience, we have completed many transactions in these sectors as well as in Consumer Goods, Healthcare, and a broad array of
manufacturing sectors and are all industries we have served with distinction. Across this multi-dimensional landscape, we take pride in being experts in the business of advising
business owners and large corporations on the execution of strategies which depend on acquiring, capitalizing and divesting middle market businesses.
Our commitment to remaining independent from any investment or
lending affiliates ensures that we deliver unbiased guidance. We
represent only one side, your side. Imagine the advantage of
tapping into the negotiating skills of a CFA principal who knows
both sides of a deal.
Selling, buying or financing a business is a complex process
that requires thorough preparation, skillful negotiation, and
intimate knowledge of markets and financial resources. With CFA,
you’ll work locally with a senior principal, who can provide
expert valuation, analysis, and negotiating skills, as well as
preferred access to a national and international network of CFA
industry experts and resources.
Los Angeles Team
Serving as your partner throughout all phases of the
transaction process, your CFA principal will guide you through
every challenge, advocate on your behalf, and leverage our
firm’s wealth of experience and resources to see you
through to a successful close.
