KLC Financial announced that two more members of its team have become Certified Lease & Finance Professionals (CLFPs), bringing the staff’s total to 15 members of 28 total staff with KLC.

Mike Sulava, Business Development, and Griffin Lefeber, a Credit Analyst who joined the team late 2020, recently completed and passed their CLFP exams to join their other certified coworkers at KLC Financial.

“This is another great step for our team as a whole,” said KLC Financial Chairman and CEO Marc Keepman said. “I am very happy to see Mike and Griffin pass their CLFP exams and continue to do the great work they’ve done with us.”

There are multiple requirements to both qualify to take the CLFP exam as well as thresholds for passing this exam. A person must have at least three years of experience in the equipment leasing and financing industry. In addition, this person’s character must be in good standing both in the industry and outside of it, along with passing a rigorous eight-hour test.

“KLC Financial strongly supports continued education and professionalism in the equipment finance industry. We encourage all employees to pursue their CLFP designation as they are eligible to continue to move our industry forward,” KLC President Spencer Thomas said. “We are extremely proud of our entire team, and especially those who have made the commitment and investment to pursue the CLFP distinction. We strive to be the best in the industry, and this is one step towards achieving that!”

KLC Financial also recently added two new Business Development Assistants, Josephine Henn and Bryson Pena, to the staff, now totaling 28 members.
