Experience our client-focused approach
When you run a gaming operation, you need to have unwavering confidence in your internal controls, financials, and compliance functions. But your work doesn’t end when your regulatory obligations are satisfied; there are still profits, people, and policies to tend to.
CLA doesn’t take a task-oriented approach to serving gaming businesses and call it a day when the compliance list is checked off. We look at the entirety of your enterprise and act as an extension of your own finance team, offering proactive help with industry benchmarking, tax containment strategies, profitability improvements, information security, and whatever matters to you. The upshot is a surprise-free assessment of your exposure to risk — and a panoramic view of your opportunities for new growth and achievements.
