E 15 CAST – JUNE 2025

“How do you build a firm that has worked with a president and advises family businesses across generations?”

Listen to the interview with Jan Šuma, founder and Managing Partner of CLA Czech Republic, featured on the E15 Cast podcast.

He talks about the firm’s beginnings in the 1990s, client relationships, diversification, the shortage of qualified professionals, and why CLA operates like a Swiss bank.

And what does he see as the key to success in advisory?

Trust, relationships, and the ability to grow with the client across generations.

We wish you an inspiring listen.

FORBES – APRIL 2025

“When you hear Notino, Zentiva or Smartwings, you might think of big business. We think of partnership.”

Partnership that lasts for years. Where it’s about more than just numbers and contracts. It’s about trust.

CLA Czech Republic stands alongside major market players as well as family-owned businesses. But just as importantly, we stand by the values that are sometimes overlooked in business: ethics, responsibility, and a human approach.

That’s why we are pleased that our founding partner, Jan Šuma, had the opportunity to speak about this in Forbes.

About why we believe in long-term relationships.
Why we create space for the next generation.
And why it pays off to do things the right way, even when it’s not always the easier path.
