We invite you to learn more about this opportunity to attain a distinctly new level of professional achievement. Become the recognized prominent financial advisor business owners seek with this advanced credential. Whether you are initiating and managing transactions as the lead advisor or offering transaction support services, such as business valuation, due diligence advisory, etc. there is ample proof that professional certification has been proven to be worthwhile. Seating is limited, so apply for the CM&AA certification training program today!


For those of you who already have your CM&AA credential, we wanted to remind you that the "nomination program" currently remains available as an alternative route to certification.  As a CM&AA in good standing, if you become aware of other such qualified individuals with significant prior M&A transaction experience; upon your unqualified recommendation, they may request exemption from all or part of our training program under the provisions of the "nomination program". All members of The Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors (AMAA) are eligible to earn the CM&AA, so if you know of a member who you feel should be nominated, please let us know.


Experienced M&A professionals can elect to apply to the AMAA
Committee on Certification for waiver of all or part of the training and testing required with the following:

  • Three or more years of documented M&A experience (deal maker and/or transaction support).
  • An outline summarizing the candidate's prior experience with references. 
  • A special Nomination Application Form with the required fee (see enclosed form)
