CLA - Helping with Accounting and Business Operations So Businesses Can Grow


Listen Later

CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) is a national accounting firm with over 120 offices nation-wide and 6,000 employees. What really sets CLA apart from the other accounting firms is that, while they do the traditional services such as audits, reviews, and tax work, they also help clients with outsourcing work, talent solutions, and a wealth advisory group. In this episode, I talk with Chris Wright, the BizOps leader, and we go deep into some of the back-office operations for a small business, common mistakes, things you should be looking into as a startup company, and what they do at CLA. Hopefully, you get a lot out of this conversation and are able to apply some of these things to help your business grow.
