About CMA

Proactive. Persistent. Time Tested.

CMA began with Carl Marks’ belief that good business starts with good people. Decades later, that conviction still guides our approach today. With many of our senior professionals having owned and invested in companies themselves, we carry forward the same principles of integrity, resilience, and trust.

Our capabilities underpin an integrated advisory practice forged by long-term client relationships, not one-off engagements.

For decades, CMA has proven that principles matter. We’ve earned trust by being honest, staying hands-on, and fighting for our clients at every turn. These aren’t just words—they’re the way we show up every day. That commitment is what makes us a partner people can count on, no matter the environment or the challenges ahead.
