What Capitol Public Finance Group does

Capitol Public Finance Group, LLC ("Capitol PFG") is a privately held, independent public finance consulting firm headquartered in Roseville, California. Founded in 2005, the firm provides bond and tax measure planning, financial analysis, financial communication, and municipal advisory services to California public agencies. Its client base spans K-12 school districts (its primary segment), fire districts, community college districts, counties, cities, county offices of education, and various special districts, with the firm stating it has served public agencies across rural, urban, coastal, and inland geographies.

The firm's offering is organized around two integrated service lines: Financial Planning & Strategic Consulting (covering facilities planning, pre-election bond and tax measure planning, developer mitigation, workforce housing solutions, and tax base analysis) and Municipal Advisory & Debt Issuance (covering bond planning, debt reviews, capital and cash flow financings, tax credit and subsidized loans, and ongoing debt administration). Capitol PFG operates with no proprietary technology platform; the practice is a human-capital, expertise-driven model delivered by SEC- and MSRB-registered municipal advisors, including a Series 50/54-licensed principal.

Capitol PFG monetizes through project-based and as-needed professional services fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with public agency leadership and governing bodies throughout California, supported by a LinkedIn presence and earned media in outlets such as The Bond Buyer, Forbes, the Sacramento Bee, and the Wall Street Journal. The firm has designed and marketed more than 300 financings totaling over $5.1 billion in funding across its history and has twice been awarded The Bond Buyer's Far West Deal of the Year (Small Issuer).
