Keven Prather has developed expertise guiding family business owners through generational succession over his 25 years of industry experience. Keven recognizes the unique challenges faced by family business owners who wish to exit their business either through sale to a third party, or sale/transition to next generation family ownership. As a Certified Family Business Specialist (CFBS) Keven helps business owners understand the value of their largest asset—frequently their business ownership—and plan for its sale or transfer of control.

Keven founded TransitioNext Advisors in 2018 to focus specifically on middle-market and family-owned business exits that ultimately lead toward managing multi-generational wealth. In 2024 he and his partners formed Lumen Wealth Advisors to continue serving this unique client base with the expanded experience and knowledge that the partnership brings.

Keven is an active member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), as well as the Private Directors Association (PDA). He has served on several Cleveland-area boards and has a long history of service to his college fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau.
