What Is A Certified Valuation Analyst?
The Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) designation is a statement to the business, professional and legal community that an individual is qualified, through academic and practical experience, to meet the high standards and professional expertise required by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA) for providing business valuation services.  The Association recognizes exemplary skills and knowledge upon a member's successful completion of a rigorous training and testing process by bestowing the professional designation of CVA.

To become a CVA the practicing professional must be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in his or her state, and be a member of the local CPA society of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Membership in the NACVA and obtaining annual Continuing Professional Education (CPE) in areas related to business valuations and/or litigation support are necessary requirements to continue to hold the designation.  CVAs are professionals committed to high standards of expertise and excellence through the advancement of technical skills and knowledge in financial and business valuation theory and practice.
