It was clear to me that the firm strategy and culture was very strong as it resonated very consistently across numerous individuals, practices and offices. The opportunities at CLA are fantastic for someone who wants to make a strong impact and take on leadership positions.class="new_p">

is a Top 10 accounting firm that focuses on privately held businesses. Working exclusively with these types of clients makes the firm very different. We often work directly with the business owners or CFOs of the companies as the companies often do not have in house tax staff. Therefore, they are very trusting and reliant on CLA to help them with all of their tax needs. This makes for a great working relationship with the clients. We also can offer very customized services to each client based on their needs. Also, working with non-public companies makes our administrative processes much more streamlined so we can begin serving clients without a lot of hassle to work through.class="new_p">
