The Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®) is the most regarded exit planning credential in the marketplace today, endorsed and accepted by more than 20 major organizations. The CEPA 5-day credentialing program is offered four times a year in locations across the country. Advisors who earn the CEPA designation have the ability to holistically serve business owners’ needs regardless of the timing of their exit. CEPAs lead teams, enable educated decisions, and create positive change for their clients. Advisors leave the CEPA program more than entered it. They transform into the Advisor of the Future. Reinvent yourself with exit planning.
