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.

An Opportunity to Grow your Network

Participating in the FEA Program, including FEA Forum, helps advisors expand their professional network. By joining an active community of designated FEAs, you can connect with other experts to better meet the needs of your family enterprise clients.

As an FEA, I can now speak to both the technical aspects of estate planning and ask probing questions that make clients think deeper about the decisions they are making and the lasting impact they will have on the family as a system.
