Corporate Finance Associates (CFA) is a Los Angeles based, independent investment banking firm with over 30 offices located in North America. CFA was founded in 1956 to provide M&A services to small and mid-sized firms in the $5 million to $100 million range. The firm specializes in divestiture, merger, acquisition and financial resource advisory services. HISTORY OF CFA In 1956 Michael M. Rothberg sold his interest in a furniture company and started Corporate Finance Associates (CFA). Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Mr. Rothberg established a consulting firm to serve the M & A needs of small to mid-sized business owners. In the late 1960s, looking for new ways to increase the number of "associates" in the firm, Mr. Rothberg articulated his philosophy of being in business for yourself rather than by yourself by adopting a franchise business model; one of the first for a consulting business. The network of associates grew and in 1969 the first international office was added. In 1972 the firm moved to Atlanta. The franchise model proved successful and in 1985 the firm continued its westward migration with a move to Denver, Colorado. Recognizing an opportunity for bringing principals into direct contact with clients worldwide, the former franchise owners executed a management buyout of the company in 1996, creating the organization that exists today. CFA is a privately held corporation based in Los Angeles, California. The firm celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006. LOCATIONS Corporate
