Four LeaseQ employees gained the CLFP designation from the Certified Lease & Finance Professional Foundation. Those employees are Sean Evans, director of Partnerships; Patrick O’Connor, director of Business Development; Max Tirey, finance associate and David Trost, director of Transportation Finance.

The CLFP designation is the preeminent credential for equipment leasing and finance professionals who have demonstrated competency through testing of knowledge, continuing education and a commitment to their business practices and dedication to the industry. Every CLFP has at least two years in the equipment finance industry and has passed a rigorous eight-hour exam.

The CLFP is the only certification for the equipment finance industry and there are currently only 543 active Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

“It’s a huge honor for a company of our size to now have multiple CLFPs, and Sean, Pat, Max and David couldn’t be more deserving of the recognition,” said Vernon Tirey, CEO and co-founder of LeaseQ. “LeaseQ’s internal teams and clients greatly benefit from this certification of proven expertise in equipment leasing and finance.”
