Hub of Finance professionals

Thanks to the California Gold Rush of the early twentieth century, San Francisco emerged as the most important center of finance, enterprise and commerce on the Pacific Coast in United States. Today the city continues to retain much of that significance which is evident from the fact that a large number of multinational banks, financial institutions and venture capital firms have their regional headquarters or are based in the city. In fact Montgomery Street in the Financial District of San Francisco is known as the ‘Wall Street of the West’ owing to the fact that it houses significant financial institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Wells Fargo headquarters. All these indicate the presence of a large concentration of finance professionals in the city including bankers, investment consultants, hedge fund managers, CPAs and others.
