NAWBO member receives prestigious CEP Advisor designation

Maryland Business Woman & fellow NAWBO BRC member, Carol Coughlin, Receives Prestigious Certified Exit Planning Advisor Designation.

BottomLine Growth Strategies, Inc., a provider of outsourced CFO advisory services, is proud to announce that CEO and Founder, Carol Coughlin, has been awarded the Certified Exit Planning Advisor designation after completing the Exit Planning Institute’s (EPI) intensive CEPA program.

The CEPA designation was designed for business advisors such as Coughlin who work closely with owners of privately held companies.

“Exit Planning is an often overlooked, but critical component of any successful business strategy,” said Coughlin. “This certification means that BottomLine Growth Strategies, Inc., can now offer expert advisement to business owners who want to ensure their company’s continued growth and success upon their retirement or at the sale of their business.”

To receive the CEPA designation, Coughlin completed a rigorous five-day program that involved approximately 100 hours of pre-course study, 32 hours of classroom instruction and successful completion of a 3.5-hour proctored examination.

“Many CFO’s offer Exit Planning to their clients, but they likely do not have the specific training or knowledge required for expertise,” said Coughlin. “Every service we bring to our clients is based on our real-world experience and, when necessary or prudent, additional intensive training. We always go the extra mile to guarantee that the guidance and support we offer is superior. We see ourselves as partners with our clients and we are highly vested in their success.”

According to the EPI, Coughlin joins an exclusive group of fewer than 100 business advisors worldwide who have received the CEPA designation.
