Who We Are
CLA Specialized Advisory Services
CLA's 3,600 people are dedicated to helping
businesses, governments,
nonprofits, and the individuals who own

Specialized advisory services (SAS) include forensics, valuation, litigation support,
information security, risk management,
transaction support, bankruptcy, and
receivership.
Our professionals help clients in many
industries. They are a highly credentialed

CPA, CISA, CISSP, CRISC, CIA, CFP, and CFF, just
to name a few.
Our telecom advisory services can help the
businesses, nonprofits, and state and local
governments we serve save as much as 20 to
