CLA recap from the Restaurant Finance Development Conference
Well, it was exciting for CLA to be a part of this year’s largest ever (more than 3,000 attendees) Restaurant Finance Development Conference (RFDC) in Las Vegas last week. Kudos to the folks at Franchise Times that continue to put on great events for the restaurant industry – bringing together great speakers and content, as well as a gathering of the “who’s who” in the restaurant finance space.
CLA had an opportunity to present on “How to improve the creditworthiness of your financial statements.” The topic was timely and well received by an audience that easily numbered more than 200 on the first day of the conference.

Additionally, there was a great showing from fellow CLA Principals at this year’s event:
- Rachael O’Leary, Tax Principal
- Jennifer Rohen, Principal – Business Incentives Consulting Practice Leader
- Michael Britten, Transaction Tax Principal
- Paul Hays, Assurance Principal – Franchise
- Justin Fowler, Principal and Senior Wealth Advisor with CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors, LLC
CLA hosted a private dinner for select clients and guests from the industry. A great time was had by all. See you next year at the RFDC!
