Cairncross attended the Academy for Lease & Finance Professionals sponsored by Oakmont Capital Services in early May and said, “The CLFP has attracted me since I began my career in leasing. The handbook gave me knowledge about the industry that is not easily come by when you’re new. I wanted to differentiate my knowledge base and my credibility in this amazing profession. I’m proud to be a CLFP. My official designation as CLFP will be granted to me when I reach my 3-year anniversary. Coming up soon!”

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the equipment finance industry. There are currently 1,022 active Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates in the United States, Canada, India, Africa and Australia.

The CLFP Foundation reached and passed a big milestone in May, its 1,000 CLFP. Read more on the achievement and future plans in a Equipment Finance Advisor interview with Executive Director Reid Raykovich, CLFP.
