MLA Clients

MLA Companies is a business financial services firm located in southwest Ohio.  Our team of about 30 professionals is actively serving more than 60 MLA clients across the United States.

We provide financial services from bookkeeping through M&A.  Our core competency is our Fractional, or Outsource CFO team.  These individuals have extensive and varied experience across multiple industries including manufacturing, construction, logistics, consumer products, and professional services.

Our approach to finance is forward-looking, meaning we work to provide the insights and guidance you need to lead your business to future growth.  We offer a set of strategic services that include market growth analysis, strategic planning, business model development, and succession planning.

While we can help you prepare and plan, we can also execute to get you to your goals.  Our solutions services are finance-adjacent and include business process optimization, alignment between owners and management, valuation and closed-corp stock, and governance structures.

MLA utilizes its holistic Business Redeemed process to gain a complete picture of your business and identify opportunities for growth.  We work seamlessly with your other service providers, including your CPA and financial institutions.

How We Serve Our MLA Clients:

At MLA, we believe business makes a promise to improve the lives of those it serves. We understand that business owners find fulfillment in the success of those they serve and employ.

Because of that belief, we leverage our financial expertise to look at all aspects of a business through organizational best practices.  We do this in three primary ways.

• Protect What You Have: Our first concern is to use our financial knowledge and expertise to protect your business. We do this through careful work, diligent compliance, and taking your concerns to heart.
• Guide You In The Moment: Our ongoing objective is to serve as your trusted advisor, applying our experience to your specific situation. We look to provide honest and helpful insight as we pursue your goals of sustainable growth.
• Empower You For The Future:  As we grow together, our goal is to empower you as a business owner.  We apply our leadership and deploy the full resources of the MLA team to help you fulfill your unique vision of good in the world. 

We accomplish these objectives through our seven-step Business Redeemed Process.  This gives us a holistic look at your business and allows us to bring the right resources to bear to position your business for the growth you desire.

From outset to execution, MLA stands ready to be your trusted advisor.
