Become the Go-To Advisor for Exit-Planning Conversation
Exit planning is a high-trust, high-stakes conversation—and the advisors who win it aren't just the most qualified. They're the ones who are most visible, most memorable, and most clearly positioned as the trusted guide for business owners. In this session, you'll learn how a short, focused book can become your most powerful business development asset as a CEPA—one that opens doors to media exposure and podcast interviews, makes every marketing dollar you spend work harder, and positions you as the obvious choice before you ever walk into the room.

Two Sides of the Exit Multiplier: Increasing Business Valuation Today, Strengthening Family Wealth Tomorrow
Leslie Hurm with Breakwater Accounting & Advisory will examine how financial execution functions as an “exit multiplier.” Reliable financial data enables owners to shift from day-to-day operators to strategic decision-makers who understand how value is created, measured, and preserved. When books are clean, consistently maintained, and aligned with how the business actually operates, owners gain clarity earlier in the process. That clarity leads to better decisions around timing, structure, reinvestment, and risk. It also reduces the likelihood that surprises emerge during diligence, when leverage is lowest and costs are highest.
