Jump-start your career—demonstrate your experience and expertise with professional credentials in business credit.

Join a select group of your peers who have shown they have what it takes to be recognized in their field.  The National Association of Credit Management awards three levels of credentials:

n        The Credit Business Associate (CBA) shows mastery of three disciplines central to business credit:  Business Credit Principles, Basic Financial Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis.

n        The Credit Business Fellow (CBF) is available to those who have earned a CBA, completed additional coursework and have solid career experience in business credit.  The three courses needed to qualify for a CBF are Business Law, Credit Law, and Financial Statements

n        The Certified Credit Executive (CCE) recognizes both career breadth and depth.  Achievement of a CCE shows that you have the knowledge and experience to manage the business credit function at an executive level.  Candidates must pass a rigorous exam that tests applied skills in accounting, finance, domestic and international credit concepts, management and law.  Successful applicants must demonstrate regular participation in seminars, workshops, classes and other educational forums.

Most small businesses fail, not because of lack of sales, but because of cash flow resources.  Credit and collections are especially difficult tasks for these businesses because they lack expertise and are afraid of alienating customers.

NACM East Coast is working with several Universities and Small Business Development Centers to help companies manage their receivables process and put procedures into place that will help them collect more--faster. 

If you sell to small businesses, NACM has programs tailored to just their specific needs.  After all, if the small business can’t get paid, they are unable to meet their obligations to you.  We can work with your customers to help them improve their receivables management so they can get paid faster and pay you faster—improving your DSO.  A win-win situation.

We specialize in helping small businesses:

n  Develop credit policies and procedures

n         Collect more—faster through training

n         Get results from each customer contact without upsetting the customer

n         Learn about outsourcing receivables through NACM East Coast
