Who we are

The Raleigh-Durham (RDU) chapter of the The Exit Planning Institute (EPI) is a well-established consortium of dedicated exit planning professionals who share a unified and common goal – to assist business owners throughout North Carolina and beyond in successfully exiting their businesses.

As Certified Exit Planning Advisors (CEPA), we have undergone comprehensive training in the “Value Acceleration Methodology” developed by EPI. Coupled with many years of hands-on exit experience working closely with our clients, we have committed ourselves to strategically maximizing the value that owners can realistically achieve upon their inevitable business exit.

Our primary objective is to guide and support exiting owners as they transition from a state of mere success to one of true significance, empowering them to confidently launch into the exciting next phase of their lives—life beyond their business.

While our chapter membership extends broadly throughout North Carolina and even beyond its borders, our dedicated leadership team is always prepared and eager to assist you in connecting with outstanding strategic partners from within our chapter who can address your unique needs effectively.

Do not hesitate to reach out to any member of our leadership team, as they are committed to coordinating a personalized introduction to the most valuable advisor or advisors suited specifically for you.
