“The Certified Lease & Finance Professional’s Manual was recommended to me as a means to continue learning and further expand knowledge. I studied the CLFP Manual, (highly recommend it no matter of your experience) and decided to attend the Academy for Lease & Finance Professional’s. Sitting for the CLFP exam to test and certify my knowledge made sense to me. All this to maximize my expertise and knowledge to better serve my Clients and the Industry. Along the way, met some terrific Leasing and Finance Colleagues!” Mr. Hepler from Element Financial Corporation attended the Academy for Lease & Finance Professionals in Philadelphia, PA which was hosted by Odessa.
