Clients

CFA's focus is on relationships in a transaction driven business. It realizes that understanding where a business and management team has come from is often as important as understanding where they are going. Accordingly, CFA takes a long-term approach when working with clients and usually works on an exclusive basis.

CFA works with public and private companies. Clients include large well-staffed multinational firms, mid-sized companies that choose not to incur the overhead cost of an in-house corporate development staff and private equity groups.
