In the first six months of 2021, we welcomed 516 New CEPAs from over 327 companies to the Exit Planning Institute community of advisors. Our community now reaches well over 2,600 Certified Exit Planning Advisors from across the globe.
Learn a bit more about our advisors below.
Where Are Our CEPAs From?
Between January – June 2021, we have educated advisors from eight countries! These include the United States of America, the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Argentina, and Lebanon.
In the United States, advisors and business professionals from 42 states successfully earned their CEPA credentials during the same time period!

CEPA Demographics:
Of the 516 CEPAs we welcomed to the EPI community in the first half of 2021, 98 were women. This works out to about 19% of our 2021 CEPAs. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in 2018, 57.7% of all employees in the Finance Industry were women. So, there is still work to do to get to gender parity in our CEPA community.
Do you know a woman in the professional advisor field who would benefit from the Certified Exit Planning Advisor credential? Current CEPAs, refer a friend to the CEPA program and you both will receive a $100 credit towards EPI classes, products, and membership! Contact us for more information about our referral program and help us grow the CEPA community.
Over a dozen types of professional advisors and business consultants have successfully earned their Certified Exit Planning Advisor credential in the first six months of 2021. The majority of our newest CEPAs are Financial Advisors and Wealth Managers, roughly 65% of this year’s CEPAs to be exact. Exit planning education is beneficial for a professional advisor who works with business owners in any capacity. The CEPA credential allows you to differentiate yourself from other professional advisors and provides you with the knowledge needed to have holistic conversations with business owners.
