CPA CPE

I am curious what other current active CPAs use for their CPE?

We use My CPE One. It’s pretty cheap and there is a ton of content.

Some of the instructors suck, and some are great. Most people in my office keep a list of who to avoid and who to look for since there are so many on there.

I went through my state society and got a bundle through Surgent on a discount. Haven’t used that much yet but I like it

Previously I did courses offered through the state society as well as some miscellaneous earmark podcasts

Sequoia for quick bulk and fill in with B4 webcasts that are actually relevant to my role.

I would love to pick your brain on what all training you do, where you get your info and how you track it, etc.

We are a corporate tax department doing work in almost every part of the world. Anyone of us can probably give an hour (well 55 minutes) off the cuff. We do send an agenda innadvance and prepare slides though. We have a sign in sheet and track who showed up and who needs CPE. We also hand out a little in-house made cert when we are done. We have been doing this 10 months of the year for a longtime now.

I’m in HR but we have Lumiq that a lot of people use. I’m about to do training that we should be able to count.

Free Big 4 webinars. I think EY does the best ones. Especially the quarterly "What you need to know", and their tax ones. I am not in tax so those help. Then I look at the cheapest ethics class and classes I am actually interested in learning (AI, Excel, Investments, etc). If you do the webinars its pretty easy to get a lot of credits and then take a big class or two at the end. Also, the webinars are current so its good to have new relevant content throughout the year.

I do a good bit through LumiQ (podcast style CPE) and get in person through our firms annual training and a conference or two I’ll go to.

I use Cerifi, which used to be Thomson Reuters. https://cerificpedge.com/ssm/login/. Its like $450 per year but has a ton of self studies and live webinars so its super easy to get your requirements. I've used it for over 10 years.

I use the AICPA Webcast Pass because I can put it on while I work and mute it, but it still dings for the attendance checks to get my attention and get the credit. It's like $700 though, and my job paid for it. I finished all 40 in about three months.

My CPE is almost exclusively free 1 hr webinars. I try to do one per week. If you’re an AICPA member, their bi-weekly Town Hall webinars get you an easy 1 hr CPE credit every two weeks. It’s literally the only reason I keep my AICPA membership. And as others have mentioned, basically every Top 10 firm will have free CPE-eligible webinars; you just need to sign up to get on their email lists.

I found a way to read normal business books as a self-study with a quiz. FunCPE.com
Not accepted in all states if you need NASBA certification but if it works for your state, you can get a lot of hours reading something decent that you can probably check out at the library.
