Earn The Certified Exit Planning Advisor® Credential
The Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) credential is for professional advisors who want to effectively engage more business owners. Through the process of Exit Planning (the Value Acceleration Methodology), owners can build more valuable companies, have stronger personal financial plans, and align their personal goals.
Taught by our award-winning EPI Faculty, our week-long CEPA program prepares advisors to have deeper and more holistic conversations with business owners, become a trusted advisor on an owner’s exit planning team, and build their professional network across this vast industry.
Earning CEPA doesn’t change your expertise, it enhances your ability to engage business owners and have value-added conversations around growth and exit. James Sorey, CEPA since 2023, shares, “Going through the program has given me an early edge in understanding and educating potential acquisition partners on the program. More importantly, this has given me better insight into the internal struggles many of these advisors face in making a move in the first place. I've been in the space for 20+ years, I feel like I'm just now learning what to do.”
In 2024 we will host 11 CEPA Online programs to expand the CEPA community, educate professional advisors, and ultimately provide business owners with a more significant exit from their business.
