Two decades of being first.

For twenty years, Dale Scott & Company has excelled at being the most innovative financial advisory firm in the State of California. Here’s just a handful of the innovations and firsts we’ve pioneered:

• The first California school district to pass $100+ million general obligation bond
• The first California school district to sell Proposition 39 general obligation bonds
• The first California community college district to pass a general obligation bond
• The first California school district to refinance COPs with general obligation bonds
• The first California school district to sell certificates of participation ("COPs") through limited-competitive bid
• The first California school district to issue Bond Anticipation Notes
• The first California school district to sell assessment bonds backed by maintenance assessment district revenues
• The first California school district to sell forward refunding general obligation bonds
• The first California school district to sell COPs backed by district-wide Community Facility District assessments
• The first California school district to bring bonds to market after 9/11
• The first California local government to issue OPEB Bonds

We don’t set out to be first. It happens only because we’ve learned how important it is to listen to our clients’ problems and design the right solution rather than assuming “one size fits all.”
