Who are we?
Independent hospitality risk and oversight advisors committed to strengthening governance, financial discipline, and long-term asset performance.
Discipline, Experience, and Independent Perspective
Bleser & Associates was founded on a simple belief: strong hospitality performance is built on disciplined oversight, personal accountability, and structured governance—not reactive correction.
The firm is led by David M. Bleser, a U.S. Marine and hospitality industry veteran with more than three decades of experience across restaurants, hotels, and multi-property operations. The discipline and standards shaped through military service continue to influence the firm’s approach to internal controls, financial oversight, and operational integrity.
David has personally conducted over 2,300 hospitality internal audits, identifying significant revenue leakage, control weaknesses, and fraud exposure across a wide range of property types. His experience spans property-level operations, portfolio oversight, and independent advisory—providing perspective grounded in real-world hospitality environments.
A Personal Commitment to Structured Oversight
Hospitality is relationship-driven. Oversight should be as well.
We believe effective governance requires clear accountability, disciplined financial reporting, objective evaluation of internal controls, and the courage to address structural weaknesses before they become material exposure.
Our approach is direct, measured, and rooted in experience. We work alongside ownership groups, asset managers, and management teams to strengthen the structural foundation supporting asset performance.
