Our Southern California
practice has an exceptional M&A Advisory track record as well as
the breadth of knowledge and international experience needed to
serve this dynamic and diverse region. Technology, health,
transport, financial services, distribution and a broad array of
manufacturing sectors 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.
Southern California 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.

In life and business, there are
two cardinal sins. The first is
to act precipitously without
thought and the second is to not
act at all.
