Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) Designation
Become a certified Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA)
Family businesses are highly complex, demanding an exceptional level of fluency in the art and science of family enterprise advising.
The FEA designation is the global benchmark in family business advising. Designed for professional advisors with significant technical knowledge, taking the Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) Program will enhance your ability to serve your family enterprise clients.
In the crowded field of family enterprise advising, there is one sure way to stand out: the FEA Designation.
Having those three letters after my name is an additional boost, I think, reputationally.
