CLA Expands Accounting Practice to Nashville

CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) has announced its expansion into Nashville. Nashville’s expanding footprint in areas such as health care, private equity, manufacturing, and technology creates opportunity for CLA to seamlessly bring its experience and knowledge to one of the fastest growing markets in the country. The firm plans to open its first office in downtown Nashville in the summer of 2021.

“We’re thrilled to expand our footprint and bring the CLA family to an expansive market like Nashville,” said Jen Leary, CEO of CLA. “With its diverse economy and business community, Nashville presents an opportunity for CLA to crosscut its deep experience in industries such as health care and private equity to a business community that is expanding rapidly in these areas.”
