About the CEPA Program

The Certified Exit Planning Advisor program was specifically designed for business advisors who work closely with owners of privately held companies. The organizing principle of the program is Master Planning, the alignment of the three legs of the stool (business, personal, financial). The program includes a combination of lectures, group discussions, case studies and individual exercises to introduce participants to these concepts and to reinforce skills. It is taught by the Exit Planning Institute’s faculty of advisors, who are all sought after subject matter experts and authors. To receive the CEPA designation, Reed completed approximately one hundred hours of rigorous pre-course study, thirty hours of classroom instruction, and passed a 3-hour proctored exam.
