Serving Los Angeles
Why Los Angeles businesses choose Piedmont Avenue Consulting.
Bay Area expertise, Los Angeles delivery. Here's what makes us different from LA-based agencies charging LA overhead rates for the same senior-level consulting.
01 · Track Record
14+ years, tested at scale
We've spent 14+ years refining our approach in the Bay Area — one of America's most competitive small-business markets. That expertise now serves Los Angeles clients across the same verticals that drive LA's economy: law, hospitality, retail, luxury goods, professional services, and high-growth start-ups.
02 · Delivery Model
Remote-first, LA on-site when it counts
Most Los Angeles engagements run remotely with weekly working sessions and asynchronous progress between meetings. For strategy off-sites, product launches, and quarterly reviews, David travels to Los Angeles — from West LA and Santa Monica to Downtown, Pasadena, and the South Bay.
03 · No Agency Bloat
Senior consulting, no handoffs
You work directly with David and a small senior team. No account managers, no junior handoffs, no LA satellite office rent built into your invoice. That's why our Yelp reviews consistently mention responsiveness — less than 24 hours to any Los Angeles client question is our standard.
04 · Los Angeles Coverage
Every part of LA County
We serve Los Angeles businesses across the entire county — Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Silicon Beach, Downtown LA, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Pasadena, Arcadia, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Burbank, Glendale, and the San Fernando Valley. Wherever your Los Angeles business is, we come to you.

As Featured In
What our Los Angeles & California clients say:
We worked with Piedmont Avenue Consulting to implement new sales processes and launch a successful customer loyalty program. As a result, we have dramatically increased revenues from catering events and "front of mind" sales.
David was very helpful with structuring online marketing for my business. He presented clear ideas and strategy that was totally relevant for my dental office. His innovative thinking helps me to think outside the box.
More From Our Clients
Trusted by partners and firms across Los Angeles and beyond.
Law firm partners across California and the country describe the same thing: responsive, candid, results-driven consulting.
McDowall Cotter started working with David Mitroff and right away things started to happen. We filled up our seminar rooms again, he found us great new staff to run our marketing department, and business is booming. More than a marketing consultant, he is a business confidant — and so responsive that barely 24 hours pass before we get an answer.
Read the case study →
David was extremely helpful, and the most responsive consultant I've ever worked with. If he didn't know something, he had no problem acknowledging that and calling an expert — and made sure questions referred elsewhere got answered in a timely manner. His follow-up was absolutely impeccable.
I first worked with David while at Jackson & Wallace LLP. My experience with David's services was excellent. He was always responsive to numerous questions; his answers and guidance were of the highest quality. You would want to have David on your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Los Angeles consulting — the honest answers.
The questions Los Angeles business owners ask most before scheduling a free consultation.
Do you have an office in Los Angeles?
Our headquarters is in Oakland, and we serve Los Angeles businesses through remote engagements plus regular on-site visits. Most Los Angeles clients prefer this model — no LA agency overhead built into their invoice, and same-day responsiveness because David isn't spread across five satellite offices.
Which Los Angeles industries do you specialize in?
The verticals that dominate the Los Angeles economy: law firms, restaurants and hospitality groups, retail and luxury goods, professional services, high-growth start-ups, construction and trades, and dental/medical practices. Our 14+ years of case studies translate directly to what Los Angeles business owners face day-to-day.
How does a Los Angeles consulting engagement typically work?
Most Los Angeles clients start with a free consultation via video. If we're a fit, we scope an engagement — usually a mix of weekly video working sessions, on-site Los Angeles visits for launches and quarterly reviews, and asynchronous work between meetings. Cadence is set to fit your team, not ours.
What areas of Los Angeles do you serve?
All of Los Angeles County. That includes West LA (Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Brentwood), Central LA (Hollywood, Downtown LA, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Koreatown), the San Fernando Valley (Burbank, Glendale, Sherman Oaks, Studio City), the San Gabriel Valley (Pasadena, Arcadia, San Marino), the South Bay (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, El Segundo), and Long Beach.
Do your Yelp reviews reflect Los Angeles clients?
Our Yelp profile is on our Oakland listing, and reviews reflect our full client base — including Los Angeles businesses. Reviews describe outcomes (loyalty programs launched, revenue increases, responsiveness) rather than location, so they translate directly to what a Los Angeles client can expect from working with us.
Hiring you vs. a Los Angeles-based agency — what's the difference?
Los Angeles agencies carry Los Angeles overhead: expensive Wilshire or Culver City real estate, larger teams, higher billing rates. We deliver the same senior-level consulting at Bay Area rates, with the responsiveness of a small team where you work directly with the founder. When on-site work is needed in Los Angeles, we come to you.
Ready When You Are
Your LA business is worth a conversation.
You've read the Yelp reviews. You've seen what we do. The free consultation is where we find out if we can help your Los Angeles business specifically. Remote, in-person in LA, or hybrid — whatever fits how your team works. No commitment.
