COMBINING GROWTH STRATEGIES WITH VALUE ACCELERATION TO MAXIMIZE BUSINESS OWNER OUTCOMES

EPI GREATER PHOENIX CHAPTER

In this session, Wally will take the audience through an informative, engaging, presentation on how advisors can integrate Value Acceleration into your practice, build your team along the way, and most importantly, help your clients achieve the exit they deserve. We will cover how you can engage with your business owner clients, and build value from day one in your engagements. Further, we will discuss the impact of taking a dynamic growth approach on the front end, to set up and maximize the owner’s exit options on the back end. Advisors will take away new concepts, case studies, and tools that they can use going forward to increase the transferable value in their client’s business.

Learning Objectives:

  • Integrating the Value Acceleration Methodology into Your Practice 
  • Closing the Profit Gap to fund your client engagements (and all the advisors around the table) 
  • Proving your Value as an advisor along the way 
  • Building and using your team to create options for your clients 
  • Becoming the most valuable advisor for your clients

Who Should Attend?

  • Attorneys

    You have close relationships with clients, and can benefit from being the first advisor to introduce the idea of exit planning.

  • CPAs/Accountants

    Owners participating in the State of Owner Readiness research continue to indicate that you are the No. 1 "Most Trusted Advisor." You are a natural fit to lead the exit planning team and deepen your relationship (and retention) of next generation owners.

  • Financial Advisors

    One of the critical ‘legs of the stool’ is personal financing planning. An owner must have a strong financial plan & contingency plan post-transition to enable them to thrive in the next act of the lives personally and financially. Exit planning brings this future mindset into the present. Exit is now.

  • Wealth Managers

    You’re a skilled relationship person. Being entangled into your clients’ professional lives matters as you build a strategy to manage their wealth upon them harvesting it from their business. Exit planning allows you to build a deeper relationship with your client, expands your COI network, while giving you an early seat at table well before the liquidity event.

  • Valuation Analysts

    Valuation is both a billable engagement AND an opportunity to provide owners some perspective on how to accelerate value drivers (and deal with value killers). Use exit planning to make that valuation into a longer term value acceleration engagement.

  • Investment Bankers

    Only 2 of every 10 businesses that come to market actually sell. Learn how exit planning can bring attractive AND ready business to your purview.

  • Estate Planners

    Exit planning is a natural fit for estate planners who want to operate more holistically with their owner clients.

  • Strategic Consultants

    One of the most critical roles in exit planning is building transferable value. Strategic consultants have the ability to expand options and drive rapid business value that affect performance today.

  • Insurance Professionals

    Exit planning addresses the 5 D's. So do you. Approach the risk conversation differently with exit planning.

  • Mergers & Acquisition Advisors

    Proper exit planning causes less deals to fall through at the last minute. Connect with CEPAs to build your healthy deal flow network.

  • Commercial Lenders

    One of the best relationships a business owner makes is with their banker. How can you help your corporate clients think about the future and ensure financial continuity? Answer: exit planning.
