MLA Companies is not a CPA firm that also does consulting. They are consultants whose customized, value-driven approach offers processes and services that align with their clients’ needs and future growth. This focus has allowed MLA to speak to current issues that are affecting small businesses and be visible in the news.

Clients who invest in building relationships with MLA Companies know that their purpose will not change, but their service offerings can grow as the business grows. At MLA Companies, the discussion with a client is centered around purpose and growth first—then finance and services second.

Because of this approach, MLA is seen as a thought leader in the fractional advisory industry and in financial services for small businesses.
