CELP® for CPAs

Be the advisor families turn to when it matters most.

CPAs are trusted — but end-of-life financial complexity extends well beyond tax filing. CELP® equips you to coordinate the full financial picture: estate assets, survivor income, benefit elections, and legacy planning. Clients who work with a CPA who holds CELP® rarely need to engage a separate estate coordinator.

WHY CELP® FITS YOUR PRACTICE

What CELP® Changes for CPAs

  • Coordinate the full financial picture: estate assets, survivor income, benefit elections, and legacy planning.
  • Serve as the single trusted advisor families no longer need to assemble from multiple sources.
  • Add end-of-life planning to your existing tax and accounting relationships — a natural extension of trust.
  • Differentiate your firm with the only credential built for cross-discipline financial coordination at end of life.
