The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself and the Profession!

 

Parnell Black, MBA, CPA, CVA

If you want to build a solid career, NACVA is your best friend. Because NACVA is at the heart of the business valuation and financial forensics professions, everything circles around us. I know this sounds bold and braggadocious, but it is simply a fact. Our competitors know it and the business valuation world knows it. We were not only instrumental in the early beginnings of the profession, bringing it exposure, legitimacy, and thought leadership, we have maintained a steady pace pushing ourselves and the profession forward for 32 years. Many careers have flourished with NACVA’s support and, likewise, NACVA has flourished with the support of thousands of members. NACVA’s leadership has delivered the profession hundreds of training programs, half a dozen software tools, a few dozen databases, two credentials—the CVA and MAFF accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) (the CVA is also accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board [ANAB])—and many, many highly successful members.

The common denominator amongst the majority of highly successful members is they are or have been actively involved in NACVA. Many in our training programs, which, though not the only way, is a pathway to notoriety and is the fast path to becoming known in our Association. We find it often leads to Members presenting for other local or national organizations, that it builds one’s knowledge and aligns one’s thinking, which leads to confidently speaking on any aspect of the discipline. The best part for our members, is it helps them develop a convincing and winning pitch when speaking to prospective clients and thus, securing more engagements. Teaching/presenting on NACVA’s stage is something to consider in your pursuits to build your practice and career.

At NACVA, however, we find that all paths lead to a brighter future, and there are many ways to get involved. Click here to sign-up to be on our Training Team, and learn more about our Support Groups, which is your way to let our team at HQ know how and where you want to get involved. We will do our best to make it happen because our number one priority is to help our members build a more fulfilling, financially rewarding, and satisfying career.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to getting to know you better.
