Opening Statement
Nature of Services

Mancini Advisors LLC is not a law firm, investment bank, registered investment advisor, or accounting firm. The information contained on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, accounting, tax, or investment advice. No information on this website should be construed as an offer to provide services, and no engagement exists between Mancini Advisors LLC and any person or entity based solely on the viewing of this website. All engagements are subject to a written engagement agreement executed by both parties.
SECTION 3 — CALIFORNIA-SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES
California has specific rules governing the use of CPA credentials in connection with business consulting and advisory services. The following language addresses those requirements. Your attorney should confirm current California Board of Accountancy guidance before publishing.
CPA Credential Disclosure — California
Len Cuoco is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the State of California. His CPA license is held in good standing with the California Board of Accountancy. Services provided through Mancini Advisors LLC are management consulting and operational advisory services. Unless a separate written engagement is executed specifically for attest, audit, review, compilation, or other licensed public accounting services, the services of Mancini Advisors LLC do not constitute the practice of public accountancy as defined under the California Accountancy Act (California Business and Professions Code § 5000 et seq.). Clients who require licensed accounting services — including audits, reviews, compilations, or tax preparation — should engage a licensed CPA firm for those specific services.
California Business Advisory Services
Mancini Advisors LLC provides business consulting and advisory services as defined under California law. Mancini Advisors LLC is a California limited liability company registered with the California Secretary of State.

California Consumer Privacy — CCPA Notice
Mancini Advisors LLC does not sell personal information. Any personal information collected through this website — including contact form submissions, email inquiries, and scheduling requests — is used solely for the purpose of responding to inquiries and managing client relationships. For questions about data collected through this website, contact inquire@manciniadvisors.com. This website is not directed at California consumers for the purpose of collecting personal information for sale or third-party marketing.
SECTION 4 — CRO & FIDUCIARY CONFLICT DISCLOSURE
PRIORITY NOTICE — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED
This is the highest legal exposure area in the Mancini Advisors business model. The CRO-to-acquisition sequence — where an affiliated entity may evaluate or pursue acquisition of a company for which Mancini Advisors served as CRO or restructuring advisor — carries significant fiduciary and legal risk if not properly documented. This language must be reviewed by a California-licensed attorney with experience in restructuring, fiduciary duty, and M&A before use. The website version below is a general disclosure. The engagement letter version must be more specific and legally precise.
Website Disclosure — CRO and Fiduciary Engagements
In certain engagements, Mancini Advisors LLC or its principal may serve in a fiduciary or quasi-fiduciary capacity, including as Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) or interim management. In all such engagements, Mancini Advisors LLC follows written conflict disclosure protocols. Specifically: affiliated entities of Mancini Advisors LLC, including Donato Capital, may evaluate acquisition opportunities involving companies for which Mancini Advisors LLC has served in an advisory or restructuring capacity. Where such a conflict exists or may exist, written disclosure is provided to the client and relevant lenders prior to commencement of services, and written acknowledgment is required before work begins. Fee structures clearly distinguish advisory compensation from any acquisition economics. Any acquisition of a Mancini-advised client by an affiliated entity is conducted through independent legal and financial processes, with independent counsel review of acquisition terms.
Engagement Letter Language — for Attorney Finalization
DRAFT — NOT FOR USE WITHOUT ATTORNEY REVIEW Conflict Disclosure: Client acknowledges that Mancini Advisors LLC and its affiliates, including Donato Capital, may evaluate or pursue the acquisition of Client's business or assets during or following the engagement described herein. Client and, where applicable, Client's senior lenders, hereby acknowledge this potential conflict in writing. Mancini Advisors LLC agrees to (i) provide written notice prior to any acquisition evaluation by an affiliated entity, (ii) maintain separate fee structures distinguishing advisory compensation from acquisition economics, and (iii) ensure independent counsel review of any acquisition transaction terms. This disclosure does not create an obligation for Mancini Advisors LLC to pursue an acquisition, nor does it restrict Client's right to engage any other party in connection with a sale or acquisition of Client's business.
SECTION 5 — DONATO CAPITAL & AFFILIATED ENTITY DISCLOSURE
Donato Capital Disclosure

Capital participation in client engagements by Donato Capital, if any, is subject to separate written agreement, applicable conflict disclosure protocols as described above, and compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No representation is made that Donato Capital will participate in any particular engagement or transaction.
Affiliated Entity Relationships
Mancini Advisors LLC may engage affiliated or related entities in connection with certain client engagements. Any such affiliation or relationship that creates a potential conflict of interest will be disclosed in writing to the client prior to commencement of services. Mancini Advisors LLC does not receive undisclosed compensation from affiliated entities in connection with client engagements.
