| Today, most financial professionals focus almost exclusively on just one or two of the pieces, valuation, legal, accounting, tax, M&A, etc. – They fail to completely understand the owner’s fundamental personal needs and comprehensively evaluate the company’s overall business performance and potential. Because the needs of the private Business Owner and the Company are so inextricably interlined the best Financial Advisors focus on the whole and not just individual parts. In today’s competitive environment, increasing your knowledge base to better serve clients not only enhances your ability as an advisor, but achieving professional certifications and designations provides a marketing edge that will set you above the crowd.
