Professional Advisory Firms Exit Planning Program

Does your firm have clients in need of exit planning, but it lacks the process and knowledge to deliver? If so, KeyeStrategies can not only be your partner but a resource to maximize results, gain clarity on confusing industry jargon, and work with you through the exit planning process.

Our program for professional advisors includes:

Understanding the exit planning process
Building strategic relationships and collaborative professional team
Education and process development for support staff

Julie Keyes is the founder and head strategist behind KeyeStrategies and she consults and guides her clients while collaborating with other professionals to help deliver successful outcomes and can show your advisors how to elevate their process to maximize your results.

Having some or all of the exit planning expertise in house will set your firm apart from others who don’t involve themselves in exit planning or who lack a process for delivering the services, and we know that lost opportunities mean lost revenue.

See what past workshop participants have to say:

“The one day course was fantastic! Well worth the extra time and investment to further along our practice. The day was a mix of presentation, discussion, and development of materials for our company. We implemented ideas discussed during the course within the first week, and are already seeing the benefits. I would recommend the course to anyone who is looking to kick start their exit planning practice.”

“This was one of the best training programs I’ve attended. Julie shared great insight on how to go about building a practice including some “proven” tips based upon her personal experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone starting a practice. I can’t thank you enough!

Workshop Participant

“I recently attended the workshop series taught by Julie Keyes and found it to be well worth the money. Every session was literally packed with invaluable information, and Julie additionally sent us links to numerous sites after each session. My associate and I are both new Certified Exit Planning Advisers and frankly were floundering a bit on the marketing of our new business, but Julie gave us a terrific jump-start and a logical plan of action for getting our new venture off the ground. The course was worth every penny and much, much more.”

“Julie – this was excellent and timely for me. Please let me know when you are ready to offer a follow on course. I also appreciated the material you have sent us, and the 30 minute call. I still have so many questions as I try to establish a model to scale my exit planning practice – your insights are invaluable for me right now.”
