Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) Designation
Become a designated Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA)
Family businesses are highly complex, demanding an exceptional level of fluency in the art and science of family enterprise advising. In the crowded field of professional advisors, there is one sure path to standing out, and to serving families with skill and knowledge: the FEA Designation.
It is the global gold-standard in family business advising.
Having those three letters after my name is an additional boost, I think, reputationally.
