As an advisor, CVM gives me a repeatable and practical way to help owners understand where their business stands today — and a clear framework for improving business quality, reducing risk, and building value over time. I highly recommend it to any advisor who wants to help clients intentionally create value, not just measure it.
In 2020, I started working with the VOP system and found it to be very intuitive and the feedback from our clients has been amazing. The process has been a real game changer.
I've gone through a whole series of trainings to get good at helping small companies, and I've never found one that puts it all together quite like the CVGA.
The VOP training workshop is the most concise, detailed and knowledge-rich program I have ever taken. It is a must for anyone operating in the field of mergers and acquisitions or turnaround consulting.
It's like going to MBA school all over again, all in one week... and it's well worth it.
We are revamping the program. Be the first to hear about the upcoming dates, location and expanded content!
