Additionally, Justin completed additional education and certifications, including becoming a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) through the Exit Planning Institute.

In his current practice, Justin works closely with business owners and this knowledge will allow him to provide a higher level of expertise during this crucial time for a business owner or partner.

Furthermore, this year Justin was selected to become a member of the Institute of Investment Management Consulting (IIMC)** at Raymond James.
