    Vance Wealth financial planner Tyler Tilton completed his Certified Exit Planning adviser (CEPA®) credential, joining a specialized class of finance professionals who are trained to guide business owners toward a successful exit.  

    “We are very proud of Tyler for continuing to deepen his knowledge and improve his skills for the sake of our clients,” said John Vance, president and visionary. “His expertise and training adds value to our entire firm, as we collaborate to provide the best service possible. His achievement is an excellent example of one of our firm’s core values: a commitment to continuous growth.”  

    The CEPA® credential, accredited through the Exit Planning Institute, teaches advisers how to integrate a business owner’s business, personal and financial goals into a master plan. Exit Planning Institute President, Scott Snider, shares, "A significant company is one that is ready, attractive, valuable, and transferrable at any given time. The company is near best-in-class performance while having employees, vendors, and partners that enjoy working there and are part of a culture." 

    “This methodology provides a sturdy framework for executing exit strategies as a holistic adviser,” Tilton explained. “Exit planning is about more than just creating a plan that you print out and put in a desk drawer; it’s a proactive strategy rooted in execution that grows value by expanding the owner’s options, so they can transition their business on their own terms.” 

    The CEPA® credential has only been achieved by roughly 4,000 professionals in the United States. In addition to this special designation, Tilton is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS®). The combination of his professional experience and continuing education give Tilton a depth of knowledge that’s specifically suited to prepare business owners for success from startup to sale.  

    “I’m looking forward to helping business owners build value into their companies — whether that’s to maintain it, sell it or just build a better business,” Tilton said.  

    Raised among entrepreneurs and Wall Street executives, Tilton understands the leadership, management and financial sides of a business owner’s journey, and he guides clients through every stage of growth. In addition to serving his own client base as a wealth adviser, Tilton also oversees Simplify365®, a division of Vance Wealth developed with the business owner’s busy life in mind.  

    Tyler Tilton serves Santa Clarita, Pasadena and Newport Beach. To see how Tyler can help you or your business, please call 661-775-0950 to schedule a complimentary consultation, or visit VanceWealth.com.

    STUDIO CITY, Calif., – It’s time to clean our closets for charity and support the Flair Cleaners 21st Annual Holiday Clothing and Shoe Drive from November 24 through December 31, 2023. Customers and community members can donate at any of Flair Cleaners four locations. Pickup and Delivery customers may leave a clearly marked bag out with their orders. Donations will be given to the National Council of Jewish Women, the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission and The Salvation Army Santa Monica.

    “The numbers are staggering: 58,936 people in Los Angeles County are experiencing homelessness and six out of 10 of these are without housing for the first time. Without homes, many of these individuals lack basic needs including clothing and shoes,” said  Gary Futterman, owner of Flair Cleaners. “This annual event makes it easy for our customers to not only clear their closets of unused items but helps our communities and neighbors in need.”

    Items needed most:

    • Clothing in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes
    • Extra-large and tall sizes are needed (XL, XXL, XXXL shirts)
    • Business attire
    • New socks and undergarments (used items will not be accepted)
    • Sun hats and ball caps
    • Shoes in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes
    • Coats, beanies, and gloves
    • Pajamas, tops and bottoms

    Donating Tips:

    • Before donating, consider the dignity of the person receiving your donation.
    • Never give something you wouldn’t be willing to wear.
    • Be sure that all used clothing is clean, of good quality, and ready to wear (no repairs needed).
    • Remember to empty all pockets before donating.
