Benefits of NACVA Membership
Below is a list of NACVA’s member benefits. But to do it justice, so you can truly appreciate the depth and quality of these benefits, you will need to join the Association. The benefits listed here are not like what you will find with most associations where, by and large, they are either insignificant or not related to the services the association is supposed to be supporting. Each of these benefits is meaningful and substantive, and the product of both paying attention and listening to our members, and painstakingly going about creating/developing/refining/beta-testing programs so they really work for our members. Our support and our benefits are designed to serve our membership at all levels of need, whether it is in business valuation or any area of financial forensics. After 31 years of fine-tuning support to our membership, NACVA has become the perfect definition of a full-service association. We look forward to serving you.

“I had several choices: the ASA, NACVA, AICPA; and NACVA seemed to be the best choice for me. I liked the different options they were offering. My experience since then has been tremendous, tremendous, and tremendous in all aspects of that word. I love the interaction with NACVA headquarters. I think NACVA as a whole is a phenomenal association and I’m very proud to be part of it.“—Achille Ekeu, MBA, CVA

“I really looked at all the opportunities and all the organizations out there providing training and I really felt strongly that NACVA was the only one that went through the time to get accredited. Now NACVA is accredited by two organizations and when you do valuations and you sign your name on the valuation report, that’s great. When your certification is from an organization that has put in place the processes and the time and effort to be accredited, it’s that much more weight behind the work that you do.”—Shelia Darby MBA, CVA, MAFF

“I chose NACVA as my credentialing organization because a number of my peers told me what a fabulous organization it was, how friendly everyone was, and how the educational programs were amazing. Everything I heard turned out to be true and I’ve stuck with the organization for almost 10 years now and absolutely love it. It has been an extreme benefit to my practice.”—Trisch Garthoeffner ABV, CVA, MAFF, EA, MAcc
“NACVA amazes me! Best association in the history of the world!!! I always learn something on each webinar on the overview of what NACVA offers and each time something has been added.
