So what can one person like this tell you about your CPA exam? Rome Wells advice is study smart, and use multiple resources.  
 Tip #1 Use CPA Planet resource to get concrete level of understanding about CPA exam especially if you are taking it after April 2017! (since exam changed)

 Tip #2 Use a CPA Tutor to get more points on your exam and help you better prepare.
Why on earth is Rome Wells recommending a tutor?  Well, one of the reasons why is because Rome Wells created a site called TutoringServices.com with over 10000 tutors registered and does not charge anyone any recurring agency fees from any of these tutors, hence if you have money to spare on someone who can help out, this is absolutely no brainer for you to do.  
Since getting help from someone locally or online can grealy increase your chances of understanding new concepts.

 Tip #3 Use a study partner to split your tutoring expenses and your CPA video course expenses, even if it means studying together in the same room online or locally.
 

However CPA tutors found on that TutoringServices.com site are not our agency managed tutors (but the good news is the first lesson that they provide is only $15 thenyou can work direct... but quality of tutors is not the same as agency managed tutors for the reasons I will explain why).  

If you want professional CPA tutor and not just regular tutors, but actual experts who also happen to be content creators or contributors for this very same visual CPA course described in this review then most certainly do not hesitate to contact Rome Wells to help you get matched with the professional CPA tutor and the content creator/contributor/author/subject matter expert of this course neatly provided to you by Tutoring Services, LLC,
helping test prep companies generate additional stream of income while helping simultaneously you the CPA exam taker increase your chances of passing your exam.  (contact from the bottom right corner if interested in getting your self a solid CPA tutor to help you prepare for this exam)

Have you ever opened the book and tried to read it while you were in college?  Well what if I told the author of the book that you are reading can also tutor you?

 What would you say then?  You would probably be amazed right?  Or at least be excited about getting help from an actual author right?  If you answered yes than this precisely why you would want to hire Tutoring Services, LLC agency managed tutor.  

Rome Wells created multiple business structures in the world of education, one business structure where tutors can register on the site (for example this site TutoringServices.com)and simply offer their services where no match making fee is involved and another business model where there is match making fee involved, but in exchange student gets to grealy increase their chances of doing better on CPA exam.  

The model that focuses on agency match making recurring fee is the model where the actual author or the actual CPA Planet dedicated CPA subject matter expert gets to tutor you future CPA. This can increase your chances dramatically of passing your exam.
 

 Note failure rate is high for CPA exam test takers, don''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t be the one who fails, take the pledge of not failling and use every single resource under your exposure to do well on this exam.

Wait what about the CPA Planet resource?  Should students study fromt this resource in addition to studying with the tutor?
The answer is Yes, it is highly recommended.  Contact Rome Wells at the right corner to match make you with an actual CPA subject matter expert, but before you do any of that go through the CPA planet videos step by step then get a tutor only after to solidify your knowledge.  Note of course you can do this before, but brain works a bit different when you do this in a reverse order.

I tried it my self once... when i was trying to understand brand new skill repairing air conditioners (continue reading it is related to CPA). Where what i attempted to do is use my brain to see, how learning process works, and experimented on my brain by attempting to learn a new skill, such as repairing air conditioner.  So what exactly did I do?

 Well I simply had to wait until my central air conditioner unit breaks down in my house, then i relized it''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s really hot in my house and i have to fix it.  I realized that and had motivation to fix it... (clearly you must have other motivations to study for CPA).  

So the first thing what I did is... i sort of tried to learn it... but i just could not.. it was simply too difficult... So I gave up.. and hired a tutor (well not exactly... more like an air conditinioner repair man, then this guy (AC repair man) came to my house and explained me what the issue was with my AC and why AC wasn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t blowing cold air.  

Now in case if you are wondering what a hack was the issue, i can share that with you all you have do is text me on the bottom righter corner, plus i can recommend some AC tools for your house if you do happen to have ac issues and give advice for how to repair it (but anyway that is besides the point)  
Maybe one day when you become CPA and have your own home you can come back here to this site and ask Rome Wells for AC advice. (anyawy let''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s stay focuse on CPA) But anyway that is besides the point.

What is the point, is the fact that... the guy who tutored me air conditioning, explained to me everything, and i thought I understood many things, but in reality what it turns out is that i did not understand any of it!  Now, why wasn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t able to understand any of it I asked this question... my self during this brain research experiment.  

The reason why is because i did not have the same goal as the AC guy, AC repair guy had the goal of repairing AC, while I also had similar goal but I sort of knew in the back of my mind that I simply can not repair that god damn AC.  (the little hesitations on the back of my mind is something that exists in every human being.. it is the fear... the fear of things.. you get that same level of hesitation on the test when you are studying for the test.... and doubting yourself...)  

Well to make the story short is... i already prevented my self from not being able to repair AC simply by focusing my wave length of my thoughts in opposite direction due to thinking that it maybe too complex to repaire AC, when in reality I should have freed up mind and thought about only positive thoughts of how I would be able to repair AC in my home.  
Now the bottom line is, i thought i did not learn much from an AC  tutor... at least that is what I thought, until 1 year later the next year when i faced another issue with with AC being too hot.

That is when i started hitting books and no I do not mean just books but actually started watching tons and tons of videos, and taking professional course on HVAC.  Now, only after i started taking the video courses, and reading books is when out of a sudden everything that the tutor was teaching last year multipled in my head exponentially (means i started understanding concepts very quickly, similarly with CPA exam learning you can use the same tactic of studying).  

Out of a sudden i started simply learning things super quick i started putting terminology togtether, I started talking to other HVAC guys (with these guys thinking that i am a professional when in reality i was not)
 So what does it all mean?
 It means that the way brain works is exremely amazing, the way it works is it actually takes your information that you already learn from other resources and puts it together and creates neural patterns.  

This is exactly what hapenned with the reverse method of studying for the brand new concept where I studied with the tutor frist then with the videos.
 The most interesting part about all of that was when I started actually remembering absolutely every single thing that the air conditioner repair man taught me 1 year ago, (it was coming together like a big lego puzzle)
Now you may say Rome Wells, what on earth are you talking about?  Why are you talking about air conditioners when I am here to prepare for CPA exam!  

Well that is indeed a valid question, but I am here to open your mind and tell you that there is an actual reason behind why studying in specific order matters.  
In my case studying with tutor first then with the video courses proved to be very frustrating and scary, but the excitement at the end of the process of having multiple pieces of information finally sticking together was absolutely incredible.  (hence for these who want to YOLO (you only live once or take the bullet) it out and start with the tutor first and happen to be a risk taker and ok to take some stress, then go with the tutor first then use study materials such as this CPA Planet video course)

Now you may say well, I am still confused which way is it better to prepare for CPA starting with the tutor first, then with the video course and some books or start with books and video course then a  tutor?  

Well based on my research, i realized that stress factor of studying with the tutor first is higher (simply because you do not know much and not even sure what questions to ask) than when you start first with the book and the video course, however excitement and engagement of your brain is much higher when you start initially with the tutor then later on reinforce it with the video course and books.  (the excitement comes into your brain in the form of the melody, sort of like listening a song from long time ago and out of sudden remembering it)
Another example I can give you is think of when you were a little kids, do you remember some music popular music that you used to listen?

Try to rewind your brain to that moment by plaing that very same song... When you were a kid you probably liked the song, but didn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t really understand the meaning, yet now when you listen to it you understand the meaning....  This concept is no different from reverse level learning...  

Anyway I am not here to talk about my self and my learning experience, what I just described is a complete fraction of my brain research experiements (oh in case if you do have AC question... do feel free to ask me Rome Wells and I can provide advice for that too).   However that is besides the point the bottom line is the best way to study is to practice and CPA Planet provides you with the video lessons that can help you gain powerful CPA knowledge

What Rome Wells Likes the most about this course
What I like the most is the fact that each exam REG, FAR, BEC, AUD is split into bite size chunks, which are easy for students to process.  In simple words test prep structure is divided across multiple modules.  
Meaning you can actually study from a single module, extract all the ideas that you need and continue on with your daily schedule of whatever else you do in your daily lives without having to process entire course in your head.  This makes it easier to focus on specic knowledge areas that students do not happen to be good at.  

Plus the best part about it, it is affordable
In comparison to other companies, CPA Planet actually gives you option to purchase each module individually rather than buying entire course.  After all not everyone can afford the entire course especially with college expenses now days being so high.  
FYI to help existing college students save money CPA study materials Rome Wells also created this site UsedCollegeBooks.net helping students save money on book expense helping world stay GREEN.  
Feel free to check it out, Rome Wells recommends using this video course plus CPA books (sold on this site UsedCollegeBooks.net, cool part about it is you can compare prices from multiple book stores and chose the cheapest CPA book for  your REG, FAR, AUD or BEC exam.)

So What is the solution here?  
Well solution is exactly what CPA Planet has to offer.  CPA Planet realized that there is a lot of students out there preparing for CPA exam, and that not everyone can afford to buy a full course, and not everyone needs to know every single concept within CPA test prep journey, perhaps some of the knowledge areas and concepts students may already know from the previous days of their academic journey and be very strong in, hence purchasing entire course may not necessarially makes sense.  
Hence in summary if you want to only study for REG and only specific content area, and not pay for entire course and only purchase one module, you can.  

 
Why else Rome Wells like this course?
Actually, i tend to not like many things, but this particular concept about CPA Planet I do like the most.  The concept of being able to prepare partially with CPA planet while still leveraging another CPA test prep vendor as additional reinforcement resource.  
This way when you are preparing for your exam and happen to do bad on lets say one particular section of the REG exam, then guess what you can reinforce your self with CPA Planet REG specific module that you happen to do not so well on.  

This way you can study from another vendor, but at the same time, pay a little bit of money for CPA Planet test prep vendor to supplement your learning strategy even further and increase your overall level of learning effectiveness.
Of course that is not to say that there is many other learning strategies and that this is the only strategy, of course not.  There is many others, for example see how students in CT study for CPA exam and what strategies are available to them, but that is besides the point.  
What is the point though is the fact that you can purchase small size bites of information, the information that can help you learn content quicker and stay more engaged without breaking your pocket at fairly affordable cost!

See the visualization graphic?  This is what you would expect to see when studying for this exam, nice beautiful icons and graphics throughout the video lesson.  Often many students do not understand the importance of visualization until they actually encounter the visual type of study guide that can help them realize and learn content better.  
You can try FREE Sample to see if you like the lesson before you buy it the best part about each video lesson that it is only $20 or entire REG course for $300.

 
 
 Dang if you ask me that is dirt cheap for the type of quality you are getting for each lesson (now of course if you want to get access to entire exam course content such as for example gain access to entire Video REG course than be ready to hash out at  least $300.
 Now you may say that is a lot?  The truth is... not really if you think about it, it isnot a lot at all... Why?  Well take a look how for example students in CT study for CPA exam... 
When you visit this link what is the first thing you see?  Well the first thing you see is... lots of content right and different methods that is recommended to students in CT for how they can prepare for the CPA exam, as you can see there are lots of methods to prepare for it, however what else do you see? Well you can probably see CPA tutor is there on that page?  Which tutor? The CPA tutor....

 
Ok... and how much does this tutor charge?  Hmmm $117 per hour?  Wow.  What does that tell you?  It tells you that studying for CPA exam locally can be expensive especially when using a CPA tutor (at least in CT that is the case)
Now unfortunately not every CPA student is lucky enough to spend all money on the local tutoring (even though it is  highly recommended by Rome Wells for students to actually do consider leveraging CPA tutor during their studies, that is precisely the reason why we recommend that to CT students)

 
Now of course you do not need to be in CT to get a tutor, you can be in any other location, but the bottom line is... tutoring is a lot more expensive... in fact it is soo much more expensive that it becomes for some students simply not possible to leverage a tutor (only few lucky students can afford a tutor, and these few lucky ones will be the ones who would have highest chances of passing CPA exam, but anyway that is besides the point)  

 
So what is the point?
The point is... this particular study guide resource provided by CPA Planet is dirt cheap, and best of all high quality and only $20 for each lesson and each exam such as REG for example has multiple video lessons.  
This gives you (CPA student) super power to learn concepts really fast visually.  Although the best way would be to leverage the videos shown here and leverage local or online tutor in combination with your studies.  

That would be Rome Wells best recommended strategy.   What you should realize though is that you are getting a killer deal even if you paid $300 for entire CPA exam  REG content (for example)!  Think about it,  If you were to get a tutor and pay for the tutor you would pay anywhere from $200 to $400 for 3 hours of his/her time vs getting many many many many hours of CPA video lessons with visualizations and human narration that do not put you to sleep! 
Plus if you really do not  want to spend that $300, ask Rome Wells for some coupons. (during promotional period there are coupons available, the coupons are not always available, the only way to find out is ask Rome Wells)
 

 
 

        The cool part about the CPA videos is that they are truly visual and engaing making it easy for cpa students to learn concepts of securities, bankrupcy, contract elements and these confusing s-corp and c-corp terminologies.   CPA Planet gets a solid 5 star review from Rome Wells for being able to logically present correct visual images throughout the explanations of their content.  
 

So what exams does CPA Planet help students prepare for?
 
One killer exam that many students struggle with is REG, and CPA Planet happens to cover REG exam in full details, showing easy to use simple visualizations making entire process of memorizing content extremely intuitive.  Think of it as bunch of videos that are nicely narrated not by a robot but by an actual human being in a way that is actually easy to understand and enthusiastically sounding.

Destroy your CPA Test
Prepare for your CPA test from a company that has over 40 years of experience helping students rocks their accounting exam!  In case if you are wondering who GLEIM is, this particular company is one of the companies that Rome Wells found to be used quiet often by students who are preparing for their accounting exam.  
 For some reason many students prefer GLEIM company to study for their CPA exam as I continue describing benefits of what GLEIM has to offer you will see what these reasons are. 


 
Here is what Rome Wells likes about GLEIM CPA Exam Review product
 

It provides FREE 18 month demo course, giving you unlimited access to an entire study unit for AUD, BEC, FAR, and REG.  This is what I call super Trial super deal if you ask me!

Second of all it offers flexible options for students on the budget!
Mega Test Bank option 1
 

One of these options is the killer deal that students may get when it comes to practicing for their exams.  Here is what comes with this traditional option, when it comes to preparing for CPA.
 

Physical copies of our books
Largest test bank of questions on the market: includes MCQs and simulations (TBSs & DRSs)
Authentic Exam Day Emulation

Although mega test option maybe favorible for some students it's not necessarily the best option for some students, especially the ones that find entire concepts of reading difficult.  Some students prefer to intercombine their methods of studying with more then just reading books and looking at MCQs and simulations with TBSs & DRSs).  
This method I would say is best for students who already had some exposure to some relevant theory books, and spent their good share of studying and rapidly preparing using multiple resources.  

Questions on Mega Test Bank are extremely comprehensive with tons of them!
Mega Test bank is indeed very comprehensive, it has lots and i mean lots of questions and simulations, designed to provide test taker with great level of understanding about the exam structure.  The cool part about the mega test bank option is that it provides authentic exam day emulation, giving you the look and feel of an actual exam, to see how well you can do, helping you determine whether or not you are ready for an actual test or not. 

In summary this is what you would get for Mega Test Bank Learning Option

 
 

 
Verdict:
Verdict If you got what it takes and have 1k to spend and confident that you have enough theory in your brain to be able to understand what each question actually means, then definitely consider mega test bank option.
However my personal preference would be this option 

 




This option is more appealing to me, simply because i am the type of guy who is not convinced with just physical books, when it comes to preparing for my exam.  I do not want to be taking risk with my state board exam and end up getting stuck on some questions simply because i wasn't able to fully understand the theory behind what the question really asked me.   The cool part about this traditional method of preparing for CPA is the fact that it comes with more then just books. 
 It has way to access digital and physical copies of books, audio lectures for students who like to drive in the car and listen to CPA instructor talking and online course reinforcing content knowledge area of expertise.  I don't know about you, but if I had to decide whether I can pay 1k or $234 dollars more, I would rather pay $234 dollars extra, but get a heck of a lot more.  No brainer decision here. 
Verdict
If you have enough money to spend and ok with simply paying a bit more and getting a heck of a lot more then, you may want to consider traditional approach when it comes to perparing for your CPA exam!

 
Best Choice Premium Option
 

 
 
 
Premium option is truly the best option in comparison to all other options that GLEIM offers

Not something everyone offers, and in fact if you don't pass you still have access that means you don't end up having to buy some other test prep material in case if it took you longer than expected to prepare for this test!  

Also another cool thing that is offered on the table is assistance from the accounting experts.  Often students have questions that simply require answers, many times other companies don't provide such options, but GLEIM does, giving you better and more confident way to prepare!

Want to improve your CPA career even further?
There are multiple ways of doing this, dependent for which type of company you work for, whether it's big corporate company or any of the big 4 companies or some public company that simply has an accounting department, but you would like to differentiate your self and rise up in the career ladder.  

 
 
Got your CPA?  What's next?
Advice #1 Reach financial Freedom goal doing something that you are already good at...

So the question what are you good in?  You are obviously good in... analyzing numbers and math behind the numbers, after all that is what CPA folks do all day. Help folks save money on taxes, help folks count their money.    
What if Rome Wells told you that there is another way to make money beyond your typical CPA full time job....?  
What if there was a way to reach your financial freedom goal within 3 to 5 years?  What if there was a way to jump outside of your full time job into the world of making money vs attempting to save money... for other folks...  
What if I was to tell you something that you perhaps already knew but never took action upon?  Or perhaps felt skeptical about?  Yet in reality... can help you become wealthy, and retire with confidence.  
So what exactly am I gearing you towards?  I am gearing you towards the very same thing that I gear other folks towards, from other industries who are not accountants, such as lawyers, IT engineers, project managers, teachers, doctors and other folks out there who slowly beginning to realize that... the middle class is gradually becoming extinct... and that the salaries are beginning to converge to the peak value for of $125k to $150k...   

So what is the whole deal with middle class salaries?
The interesting part about the salaries is that no matter how smart you are, no matter how good you are... the consequences of your intelligence rarely matter.... and that even the person who is less intelligent and is not an accountant, but let's say a waiter in upscale restaurant... all making very close similar salary of no more then $150k... per year.
You may say... to me Rome Wells that is not true... what are you talking about... If you don't believe me, look up salaries across different type of professions and see what is the peak value.. for these professions... and you will realize that... even if you are super duper person doing all the work you still won't get more then the base of $150k... 

If middle classs salaries make every1 eqaul... then what is the pont of working hard?
So then comes the obvious question... why?  Why working your ass off and getting the same as the other folks in different professions who maybe working half as hard as you are, or have lower level of intelligence when it comes to working with math... and not getting rewarded as much as you should be getting rewarded?
In fact the entire concept of democracy the way it stands today, makes the long term prosperity of medium class questnable to the level of... why am I doing what I am doing today... and how can I make more money and be more rewarded for what I do?
This is the questions many folks now days asking across multiple industries and professions.   Many folks realizing that the prices are going up, yet the median salaries are not shifting as much as they used to in 1960s, in 1980s etc...   Don't believe me?  Watch tons of netflix documentaries about middle class no longer being the middle class and gradually becoming extinct and being converted with the poor class.

So what can you do to not work as hard...
So what is the solution here Rome Wells?  Solution here is to get out of the rat race and jump to the rich class.  
Think about it... your jobs of being CPAs... are well.. gradauly becoming.. limited.. think about new law that just was declared recently... to make standard deduction to be 12k for individuals and 24k for married couples vs itemized deductions... what do you think will happen with the demand for having to hire accountants, when now days anyone will just simply be able to do taxes online on their own (not always the case but.. yes it's true think about it...)

Before itemized deductions helped accountants do what they do best, count deducations and help folks save money...  

Now this is becomes less of a factor... in case if you do not know why it's probably good idea that you get familiar with latests tax laws.
So the problem is.. basically a lot of accountants work hard at their full time jobs and don't make good money or make money same as other folks in the professions, even though accountants have harder times and more responsibilities vs other professions (obviously depends on profession)  
CPA folks took their time to take the CPA exam and reach their monumental goal, all that for what?  Just so you can be equal with other folks who work not as hard as you or less intelligent then you... 

 
What's the point of constantly working full time as CPA until the day you die, when you can do so much more.
What's the point of working full time non stop as CPA... when you can just be HVAC tech or... a plumber or a waiter or electrician... and make closely the same if not more?   I don't know about you but what is hapenning in US today.. remind me of what was hapenning in Soviet Union during communism...
I remember the days when my dad was the head of the city architecture.. and had many people reporting to him and during his time was like the top of the top type of guy working hard super hard, being very smart with numbers... yet... the regular worker at the factory... who is fixing refrigerators would be getting paid the same if not more then what my dad was getting paid... 
This was just plainly insane... that is primarily the reason why Soviet Union disintegrated, in 1991... however.. the reality of such equal pay is what I Rome Wells seem to be discovering in USA today!   

Extinction/Convergence of the middle class is your opportunity to discover how you should pivot yourself towards financial freedom goal

What I am seeing today is the gradual extinction of the middle class where professions of no matter who you are becoming equal and that is just not fair.  Not fair for the folks such as CPA certified folks or not fair for lawyers or IT engineers or teachers, or doctors, it is not fair.... these professions work hard, really hard.. and push their brains to the limits... yet getting paid the same...  as a waiter in upscale restauraunt in Manhattan.... 

Do you consider your self more intelligent then a waiter?  I sure hope you do if you managed to get your CPA and finished school and got your bachelors degree and/or masters degree.   
Do you feel being ripped off for obtaining education, going to school.. and getting in debt just from school alone... just so you can be paid the same?   Maybe, perhaps not.. or at perhaps at least not yet... or maybe you do feel that way...  

However, the reality of it all is that sooner or later you will start feeling ripped off.   Simply because you will realize that no matter how hard you work no matter how good you are the avg peak of salary that you will reach will be no bigger then $150k... that is just the reality... in America today, whether you like it or not... 

Sure there will always be outilers, there will be folks jumping beyond these salaries, but on avg... when we are referring to middle class is, that is what the reality looks like... at least in the metropolitan area of Manhattan NY or other major city areas... 

So now the question is... What can you do?  How do you jump out of the rat's race?
The answer is commercial real estate investment... that is the way for you to make money in this world... 90% of the rich folks made their money in real estate... why should you be any different...

Advice #2  Make Part time income in addition to working full time job as CPA
Now that you passed your exam probably makes sense to actually try to make some of that money back that you lost on college and test prepartion expense by becoming a tutor and teach other students on part time basis Accounting Exam test preparation tactics.  


 
Advice #3  Enhance your skills further into more dedicated field and be more then just an accountant but someone who moves up the career ladder.
You can either expand your expertise a bit horizontally
Consider bunch of other exams if you are thinking of jumping into CFA field if your company where you work allows for such opportunity, if not then you may want to consider grabbing that opportunit yourself by preaparing for that exam and having extra cert under your belt to provide your differentiated skill set in comparison to other counterparts in your accounting department where you work at.  

Note CFA is definitely different then CPA field and CFA focused more around financial sector, but if you happen to be in the right company and positioned your self in that direction, the it's possible to obtain good paying position, but once again.... typically they are some what seperate tracks.  

Note don't just take our advice for it and go for it, you must do your research first, in regards to how it ties into your overal goals.  I tell that not only to accounting professionals but also lawyers, in fact for lawyers profession, Dave makes a good point about goals in this video. 

Or vertically 
 
For example one way to enhance your skills further vertically in the field of accounting, with emphasis on Audit, is by doing something that America needs.  The quesiton is... what does America need? The answer is it needs... more qualified Cyber Security professionals who are not far apart from the world of CPAs.   Now you may say wow, what on earth does it even mean?   Let Rome Wells elaborate for you what it means.  Take a look at this below.

Or go here to view visual representation video of what this means.  Also don't forget to check our google plus  Cyber Security and CPA pages.
 
Of course you may say ow, what does CPA and IT and Cyber Security has anything to do with CPA? To help you clarify what it means, take a look at my conversation between actualperson who have multiple certs in CPA, CIA, CISA, CISSP.  See this post?


Note to Carlos "Thank you Carlos for your contribution in helping future generations of CPAs succeed, and sharing with us Tutoring Services, LLC and Rome Wells your career path journey"

What do you think that post tells you?
It probably tells you there is a reason why... accounting professionals end up going up an extra step in their career... rather than simply being CPAs right?  Of course some of you may say why, and what does that have to do with Cyber Crime and Cyber Security and why America needs more CPA oriented IT professionals in information security field?
Well if you listened to the latest president speech in 2017, you get to actually see that Cyber Security related incidents becoming a huge problem for America.  The problem that causes a lot of money to be lost!  
 
What Rome Wells thinks about IT industry and why it make sense for CPAs to advance further in IT
Now I will tell you this as both Information Security professional and as someone who is in the IT industry and IT consulting industry and has a holistic view on entire supply demand concept, for what is going to be needed and what is not going to be needed in the near future, and I Rome Wells will tell you with 100% confidence that Cyber Security will be the field to jump into, because that field will explode in demand, if not already exploding.
 
How can current CPAs advance further to help out America and yourself?
 
So where does that put you current CPA?  That puts you in unique position.... What type of position?  The type that you can leverage for your own benefits to do something that America needs and expand your knowledge further in the field of information security, get these additional certs that we are referring to, get your self differentiated from other CPAs, and get ahead of the game.  Accounting is a narrow field, the further and further we grow in that field, the less and less of strictly accounting things would be left in this world... in comparison to the amount of CPA professionals that are graduating.  
Why seperating accounting from information technology can bring higher cyber crime related risks and what you can do to fight this and move ahead in your career.
Why do i say that?  I say that because I believe CPA field can not be seperated from information security and expect to have lower risk in cyber crime, which is why AICPA is adapting new track! Why? Not because Rome Wells says so, but because public came to this very same conclusion!
In fact I Rome Wells say that not because I randomly say that,but because our company actually teaches inter-combination of both business marketing and information security as a bundle.... as weird as it sounds... concepts of marketing and business can not be seperated from Information Security and if they are seperated then the company has a higher risk of getting hacked.  In fact our company Tutoring Services, LLC shows that to entire tutoring and test prep industry here

Example of how Information Security can be more effective if it's not seperated from business
Of course this is not a marketing industry this is accounting industry (but conceptually marketing or accounting is all business) that we are referring to here, however one simple item that must not be forgotten is that CPA Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are public servants and have a responsiblity to keep an eye on the well-being of the public and taxpayers... CPAs are licensed through their states where they practice and make an oath at their state government level, and as a public servant you must learn how to defend interests of your state and how to defend interest of American states, having the necessary skill sets for you to protect your states can allow you to gain upper edge in competitive job market.
Companies who are seperating information security from business needs increase inheritent and inevitable risk of being exposed to cyber attacks at much higher risk level in comparison to organizations that happen to employ type of individuals who do not only understand business concepts, but also understand information security and inter-combine their levels of skill set in Audit profession to reveal weak links in information systems.  (For anyone who is reading this and wants to quote Rome Wells on this, feel free to do so.  Just give refererence to this site.)

Bridging the gap between information security and business is the step in the right direction, accounting industry happens to be in the midst of this bridging the gap type of revolution. Knowing both sides information technology and CPA can help you stay ahead of your competitors who are only CPA certified, and can help you make more money.  
How can accounting and IT industry combined fight Cyber Crime and what Rome Wells proposes to American government as the long term solution to fight cyber crime?
Now you may say I am still not sure why accounting industry exactly can help fight Cyber Crime and what Rome Wells proposes to American government as a plan to fight long term cyber crime. 
Rome Wells response is simple, to provide long term defense for America in Cyber Crime, Cyber security needs to be improved.  
The only way to improve Cyber Security for American states is by educating others who are closet to major financial companies and who can create influencial daisy chain effect on such companies, resulting in ultimate risk reduction of cyber security related events. 
Last time we checked..... every major financial or even non financial companies employes accountants (in fact accounting industry is so big that there was even a recent movie with Ben Affleck that was out in theaters called Accountant), also last time we checked... there is cleary a correlation between information technology and accounting and that correlation is concept of Audit.

If we were to arm CPAs who are specializing in Audit with proper level of education that can help them to identify weak links in major company's applications, and systems, then they could create the biggest impact on ensuring that the items that were identified during audiot are addressed.  
Wait what on earth does that mean?  That means if weak links can be addresses we can minimize risks... risks that essentially are currently not being addressed by many companies as they should be addressed, reason for that is..... lack of education for CPAs.... lack of education from the stand point of information technology.  Note  Rome Wells is not saying.. that you need to be super IT guru, there is different levels of IT certs that can get you into the hybrid state of CPA accountant and a top notch auditor.  

Rome Wells realizes also that you can't know it all, indeed, that is true, but what Rome Wells says, is ... you do not need to know it all... you just need to know CPA and know how IT works and have proper credentials under your belt to be able to understand, what on earth is going on in company's premises and how you can be more effective auditor.  Doing that can help us minimize Cyber Security Risk factor and helps us move further into 21st century and beyond.  
Of course you may say, wow that is kind of a neat plan, but why would it work?  The reason why it would work is because as an auditor and someone who understands business based values, you are in much better position to understand what seems to be a security related threat and what is legitimated business type of oriented transaction.  

To give you an example, our company Tutoring Services, LLC has over 50 sites... and hackers visit these sites daily.... what exactly do they do?  Well they typically snoop around... and trying to get onto the sites infuse some sort of script into the site or something.... however... we minimize our risk from hackers because we actually know the business models that we are focusing around.... and we know who may seem to be legit type of person or non legit, in fact it all starts out with psychohological analysis of audience, then converges into marketing, and simultaneous information security then into accounting (note none of that means that we are completely prone to cyber attacks, it just means we are reducing our risk doing that, and that's what every company should be doing, because in long term it can save lots of money).  In case if you are interested how it's all tied in you are more then welcome to read our marketing study guide here

Note this is no different... why is this no different?  Reason is simple... where there are identified business transactions.... there is awareness of what is right and what is wrong.   Without having this level of awareness it's difficult to secure anything.  In fact, some students asked Rome Wells, well what if i want to really do get to know concepts of IT and information security, how can Rome Wells help me get into it?   You see in the world of IT there are many things... that you need to know, but because Rome Wells is fully aware of accounting industry and IT industry, he is the best type of person who can explain to you how to get into it.   To start, learning about IT you can read this book StudyGuide.net/SDN   

Note there is tons and tons and tons and tons of IT books... and if you get guided in the wrong way you will end up getting sunk... into a deep hole which will be very difficult to climb out of.  To be efficient  top-notch auditor you need to have  concept of IT, there is absolutely no better company on entire planet earth that can explain to you concepts better in IT then what Tutoring Services, LLC can do for you.  We make IT easy. That is because we are IT consulting company as well... NetworkConsultant.net  we also happen to have actual tutors who can help prepare for variety types of information technology and cyber secruity tests as well, not to mention we also provide actual self guided study options to help you save money on your education, however all that is besides the point.
The main point we are trying to make is... get ahead of your self, and differentiate your self, give your self an upper advancement edge in comparison to other CPAs.  Help America fight with Cyber Crime.

Now let me motivate you even more to study for CISSP exam or Cyber Security profession.
 
Friends and existing CPAs as well as future CPAs. Yesterday America got new president. Message was clear, help America fight with cyber crime. To fight cyber crime, we need to stay educated. Help America stay educated, by advancing further past your CPA status and well into the era of fighting cyber crime.
Rome Wells, commonly referred to many students as modern age Mark Twain in the world of educational advocacy, recommends you take arms and educate your self. Discover IT certs that can infuse your career with the top notch level skill set, making you far ahead in the game, in comparison to any other CPAs who do not have such Cyber Security skill set. View career path advice from actual people who went through this career path and here is what these people had to say about what can make you top notch auditor.

Rome Wells, brings CPAs together to fight cyber crime, in their own industry while helping other industries for whom audit is being done, and yet Rome Wells is not even CPA, but what Rome Wells sees is an opportunity for existing CPAs to take the pledge and protect our country by getting your self into auditor career. 
Rome Wells is creating daisy chain effect that would reduce impact of cyber crimes in America by getting you current or future CPA on the right path towards, making America great again. Discover more about American values and how you can be an IT hero with great level of CPA expertise under your belt.
Cyber security industry will explode in the near future and is already exploding. It's up to you if you want to be differentiated from others and help America fight cyber crime, while obviously getting more pay, since such individuals are greatly valued, who do not just understand IT but understand business side of accounting and the audit. Find out more visit StudyGuide.net/CISSP and StudyGuide.net/CPA and StudyGuide.net/Cyber-Security and help us Americans fight for America and help your self advance in your career.
Note Rome Wells is not an affiliate with AICPA, however agrees with their public mission.  Note it's also important to realize that non AICPA information technology related exams address gaps that AICPA does not address, therefore solid advice from our company in relationship to your overall career path in the field of accounting and information technology with our recommendations of what additional exam makese sense for you to add into your collection of certifications and achievements is something that you may want to consider looking into.   Therefore, if you want to  improve your career then check out this exam as one information technology types of exams that is in our radar it's called CISSP.

 
For example enhancing your skill set further, one prediction i made in the year 2014 is that, well there is just not enough adequate IT security methods or guidance for Accounting professionals, and sure enough AICPA decides to actually cook something up.

 

 


Note the book is not tailored towards, accounting audience, it's tailored towards IT Network Engineers, but under the hood basic principles of Cloud IT security and Software Defined Networking, because essentially this is what makes IT cyber security risks easier to understand, and unless you even have some basic ideas what exists out there and what does not, this can make your accounting auditing job a bit frustrating.


Sooner or later in your Cyber Security Risk Assessment report for your company where you work at, you will find management talking about certain things in the form that would be very difficult for you to decipher, unless of course you have general exposure from actual practical stand point, of what type of IT systems exist out there, what a heck cloud actually means, and what IT security controls companies offer, how rise of software defined networking makes even traditional IT security professionals become clueless about new evolving technologies.  This rapid evolution resulted in what so called, rapid chain of events taking place, such as other companies in all sorts of fields, trying to acustom to it. 
 

It's not suprirse that AICPA finally took the initiative to introduce IT Cyber Security frame work, based on variety type of NIST and ISO standards and packaged it together, to help CPA practioners be able to review IT Security controls in conjuction obviously with IT management responsible for IT Cyber Security Risk assessment to provide level of IT Security assurance against hackers that companies and investors are always so concerned about.  Hackers are not going away they are only multiplying with the advancements in cloud and IT technology.  Heck I myself Rome Wells happen to be a hacker as well, ethical hacker though, but anyway that's besides the point.  Let's focus more on this advice.

This is no brainer that it will happen sooner or later, and in fact new framework is on the works. So what does it mean?  That means if you are working CPA you deal with data, some of that data is sensitive and some of that is not.  Typical IT security technical experts do not really have holistic view of what you have in your data, making it more and more vulnerable for organizations, take this knowledge from me an outsider to the accounting field, and in fact in better position to provide this advice then any certified public accountant or IT Cyber Security Risk Assessment professional, who doesn't know anything about accounting field.

To bridge the gap AICPA is making the move that they should have done a long time, and finally in the works of creating new frame work and new exam.  Exam that is optional for CPA to take, however.. this is what will be one of the differntiating factors that will be asked by Big 4 companies and other major organizations looking for new employee candidates.  Differntiating yourself ahead of the game... is probably a good idea... 

Personally I am not a CPA, but using any of the learning methods that I provide I can probably become one in the matter of couple months that is not my intent though (using the very same study guides on which you will find reviews on this site), instead I am an IT Security expert and IT Network Consultant and former Network Engineer, Former Certified Math Teacher, and and educational advocate and even a breakdancer in fact check out my site here NetworkConsultant.NET, and I happen to simulateneously know what is going in the world Accounting profession (something that typical CPA wouldn't bother researching other then only focusing on studying actual content knowledge test prep material, think of me as being inside the industry, but at the same time being an outsider who can provide holistic advice from multiple angles, that you wouldn't see anywhere else. 

 Think of me as a IT Network consulting Ninja who just rapidly helps you understand information about accounting profession and it's associated logical links that can help you learn information from multiple perspectives.  In fact that knowledge was gained from me actually being an IT Network Consultant, math tutor and an educational advocate)

Plus I can tell you with confidence that such professionals who do have that extra level of cyber security skill set of being able to provide adequate level of security assurance... will be more valuable in the eyes of big 4 or other big organizations then the typical CPA.  Companies are not stupid, they are all about reducing costs, if you don't have that little something extra, be ready to be replaced by someone else.  I tell that same thing to Network Engineers and PMP project managers. 


            I am telling you that you can get familiar with Cloud, IoT, Security ahead of the game at least to get basic representation, to be like a super hero in your accounting industry and get that extra level of differentation that employes are looking for.
 I am giving this advice to you  because I am looking out for you, helping you not only find tricks, hacks and variety of methods to prepare for your CPA exam affordably, by leveraging either our discount coupons or studying on your own with  CPA books that you can buy directly from other students in your school through our UsedCollegeBooks.NET site without actually paying any middle man fees or buying cheapest books online.   

Or by studying from any of the CPA study guide courses or other resources, listed on this site, or by studying from a local tutor or online tutor, and not having to pay huge agency fees that are just pure robbery with many of the sites that exist out (unless of course they truly provide value. such as for example our local tutoring CPA tutor and student match making business located in CT NY and NJ as shown here. )and only paying for the first lesson $15, then working with the tutor direct withou any middle man!
While all at the same time helping you evolve your self into something beyond CPA and helping you either get marketed FREE of charge on our tutoring helping you make some money teaching other students part time CPA as described here.

         No one gave me advice to Transition my thinking into Cloud and IT Security and SDN and think more carefully about this field and what it means what are the implications, while working in my IT Security and Network Engineering industry as a Network Engineer and IT Security Expert and IT Network Consultant, but I am providing that advice to you (not necessarially transition into the field of cloud, IoT and SDN but to actually understand what it all means from Cyber Security Risk Assessment stand point, because this level of knowledge is what can make you be differentiated from other CPAs especially when you get certified in the newly crafted Cyber Security exam. (so stay on the lookout for that exam). 


 Now you will find entire IT Network Engineering Career is slowly redefining themselves in the direction of adapting to the cloud and new Software Defined Networking concepts, all rapidly trying to adapt.  All of that is under the hood of actual IT Systems and all of that will sooner or later will concern you as well especially if you are in AUD sector.


And one day when you will sit in one of your accounting meeting, and get a report from your management showing existing security controls that company has in place, it will be upon you to decipher many of them in conjuction to your CPA practioner role.  So you can either stay idle, and wait until it hits you sooner or later....  and i promise you it will... or you can stop sitting idle and enhance your CPA skill set by jumping outside of the box and at minimum get familiar with the major Cloud and SDN and IT security shift and landscape that's taking place, this way you would look like a super hero in your Accounting meetings with your management and can even get a promotion or move up the ladder by having extra skill set under you belt. 

Note I personally took Cyber Security Risk Assessment Training and in fact i can tell you there are multiple types of environments that exist today.  In fact big 4 companies specializes specifically in auditing companies already today and been doing that for a very long time, and providing that level of security assurance confidence level for public investors, who are looking for that level of confidence.  Hence I only will see this field expanding further and further. 

Hence word of advice stay on the look out for the new Cyber Security exam for CPAs or even possibly for different profession all together in parallel to CPA, but even before it arrives get familar with what is going on with the cloud and SDN and IoT.  
You can check out this book StudyGuide.net/SDN that I wrote, it's tailored towards IT Network Engineers helping them transition into this field, and towards PMP Project managers, but the Cloud and IT Security concepts described in this book are the same for all. With the arrival of Cloud and SDN it's difficult to decipher IT Security associated risks and having someone come up with the book that can clearly describe what the fuss is all about, makes concept of learning a lot easier.

You do not have to buy this book, you can buy any other Cloud, IoT, SDN and IT Cyber Security book out there and read more about NIST cyber security controls read bunch of blogs, but it can be a big waist of time for you, very boring and frankly speaking pain in the ass to understand, especially if you are an accountant.  

Note that book does not show concepts that Accounting students need to know, it totally does not, but what it does provide is a good idea of what many of the cloud components mean and where does IT security fits in and how on earth do you actually know if you have good level of assurance or not when analyzing specific reports from management.

 Sure some of that you won't need to know AICPA is not trying to make you an IT Security expert that's a totally different field from accounting, because that is just not possible, but having speicalized type of.... CPA with technology IT security audit of risk controls emphasis makes total sense, even more sense than having some random IT Security Risk Assessment expert.  

Think of what AICPA trying to do is like creating a bridge, where you CPA is the bridge between these IT Security Generalists and Cyber Security Risk Assessment experts and the management, but they are tying to make it easier to relay cyber security risk state of the entity using their framework.  
Being the deciphering ninja can really make a difference in your overall possiblities of getting that extra level of promotion.  <---Note this is my assumption.... but that assumption is derived from simple fact that majority of the traditional IT network systems are moving to either hybrid private or public cloud based on the research provided in this book StudyGuide.net/SDN.

This rapid push in technology, creates many uncertainties in IT security landscape and therefore bigger job demand will be needed for accounting professionals with adequate subject level skills to be able to communicate with Management and understanding what they want.  CPA exam is evolving and so do any associated exams with it, based on public interest, and as the Education Advocate for Tutoring Services, LLC and the founder, I simply demand for additional security framework to be created to provide that level of guidance to CPA professionals.  

We can not as the industry simply rely on IT Security experts, it just never going to work.  With so many standards scatterd all over the internet there was no concreate method of putting something together that provides some level of guidance for companies in regards to having that extra level of cyber security assurance especially in the accounting field.

 Don't worry though, it's not like that means you will become IT Network Security Engineering doing hacking or any of that as an accountant, it just means you will become more generalistic with that extra level of skill set that makes you be different from other counterparts.  In fact that is exactly the same shift that IT Network Security engineers are currently going through and similarly must adapt in their field as well, just like sooner or later you will have to adapt as well. 


Here is why you need to adapt ahead of the game
If a boss has a meeting and says, do you understand what I want first time, and then you nod, and then asks you 2nd time and you nod, when in reality you don't understand any of that... then guess what.... they will get instead someone who can understand them better.  Don't let that happen to you.


 Note that doesn't mean you should go and buy SDN book and then say oh my god there is soo much stuff, it just means if you buy it, you can actually wear other person's hat of knowledge, giving you that extra level of advancement in your overall understanding about audits when it comes to particular nature of analyzing risk  and providing adequate level of IT security assurance, from actual practial experience based perspective. 

It won't teach you anything accounting related because technically it's not, it's literally another field, but getting that additional perspective... and also getting certified in that Cyber security cert that AICPA is cooking up, can make you shine like  start in comparison to other CPA counterparts in your company or accounting department.

To really get the idea what a heck is all the cloud and IT Security and SDN fuss about, feel free to check out the book here. Note that doesn't mean what you will learn in this book will be on your new Cyber Security exam for CPA practioners... no, it just means it will make your life a heck of a lot easier when you do end up studying for your Cyber Security Exam for accounting professionals, and it will make it easier for you in your future career path where management asks you to analyze report showing how adequate IT security controls and provide your opinon on it what you think.  In conjuction with actual IT security expert management driven team. 

The whole problem with that idea that i see AICPA doing is... that they are trying to give you a weapon without really showing you how to use it.... so it's difficult to understand how to use that weapon... in this case weapon of being able to analyze whether Cyber Security Risk assessment program is adequate for your organization, but not exactly for actual definition visit official aicpa.org site.

However that is currently not their intent and instead what they are doing is providing a framework, and you just need to be familar with how it looks like and what is all the fuss about.  However, in my opinion based on what i saw from initial drafts, it looks like it will be difficult thing for typical CPA practioner to be able to do.  However AICPA is not asking you to be IT Security expert and become CPA... no.. what they are doing is simply what makes sense... simplifying framework adjusting it towards accounting field and making it formal based wide horizontal approach. 

This will result in you seeing all sorts of information in the forms submited by your management related to IT security controls and Risk assessment and bunch of other things, having a good representation about it, makes total sense....  

The only thing is to have better understanding you actually must have some level of subject level expertise knowledge of IT Systems, Cloud etc... Plus each organization industry have slightly different IT security controls, for example Telco may have one control other industry another etc... Deciphering them and being a

Find out how you can prepare for CPA Accounting exam with the local tutor and increase your learning effectiviness! Secrets Revealed
 
Discover how you can prepare for your test with the help of a local accounting subject matter expert, someone who you can hire directly and get tutored directly at your home.  Continue reading to learn about the site that can help you find the right type of tutor. The best part about this site is that it doesn't actually charge you Tutoring Agency Comission fee.  Which means you can get fairly inexpensive tutor when preparing for your CPA exam, plus many of the tutors offer first Trial lesson for only $15 


How do I know that?  
Well I know that because I created it myself, and have over 10,000 teachers teachers on it already (not just CPA ones).  Hence I wanted to extend this offering to CPA exam test taker students who are on the budget, and struggling to pass their CPA exam and simply looking for help from a local CPA tutor who will not charge an arm and the leg.  
Since there is no tutoring recurring comission agency fee from each hour as it is the case with the actual tutoring agency companies who charge whooping 40 to 70 percent from every hour lesson tutor does, you can actually can get pretty darn sweet deal for your self,  by getting a local tutor who can come directly to your home and help you study for your CPA exam at affordable rate.  

Note that is not to say that agencies are bad and you should not use them, that is not what i am saying here (in fact I own several local tutoring sites my self click here to see them), in some cases it's better to go through the agency then going on your own with the independent tutor from a site that simply allows tutors get registered on and listed free of charge. After all some tutoring agencies offer verification of the tutor, background check and actual in person over the phone support line, and other bells and whistles such discount packages etc. 

 

 
Why in some cases tutors prefer to work with agencies
Plus in many cases tutors simply prefer to work with agencies, due to the fact that agencies offer tutors bigger incentives such as marketing of tutors in local areas, giving reason for tutor to actually stay with the agency as oppose to striking on their own. 
Hence for that reason you will see in many cases tutors work for such tutoring agencies who charge 40 to 70 percent from every hour tutor teaches you CPA and in many cases it's perfectly acceptable, simply because marketing itself can be extremely difficult job, that tutors simply do not want to do, because what tutors want to do instead is teach. Note if you are wondering what is one of my local tutoring agency fees comission is it's a heck of a lot lower then 70%. 

 However, I realize that majority of the CPA exam test taker readers won't be residing in CT | NY or NJ and instead residing in other states, if that was the case I would recommend going through the agency instead since agency can work with student directly and offer tons of other benefits that independent tutors can't offer, such as "Tell us your hourly rate and we will find you CPA Tutor within your suggested hourly rate " and if we can't then feel free to check out www.TutoringServices.com 

 
Why Finding CPA qualified Local Tutors is not an easy thing as it may seem

 

 


 

 
 

 

 




 

 

 

 

 

Independent Tutors can save students money
 
Therefore if you are not looking for any of the bells and whistles and simply looking for affordable tutor, without agency recurring fee then don't hesitate to visit site below, www.TutoringServices.com Plus the beauty about some of the Accounting tutors is the fact that first of all some of them offering $15 first lesson Trial, helping out Tutoring Services, LLC maintain the site.  Where essentially student who is studying for CPA exam can contact the tutor, pay $15 for the first lesson and then simply work with the tutor directly without any recurring agency fees.  
Tutor doesn't have to pay anything to register on the site and student is also happy because they can get someone to try first for the first lesson for only $15 instead of a whooping $90 rate, that belive it or not some CPA tutors charge, and believe it or it's perfectly acceptable rate, but then again it all depends on which area you are located.  
       Note tutors agree for Tutoring Services, LLC to charge student $15 for first lesson and agree in providing first lesson FREE of charge to the CPA student, thereby helping our company to maintain the site, helping tutors be listed FREE of charge on our site and gaining opportunity to possibly make money helping students prepare for their CPA exam. 
 

 
Why do CPA tutors agree for Tutoring Services, LLC to get paid $15?
 

 

 

        Tutors agree to that simply because it makes sense for them, it makes sense for them simply because they can work directly with the student without having to worry about any recurring agency fees from every hour they teach, have their own schedules, maintain their own client base, offer group discounts, and be in the position to lower their hourly rate even lower then other local tutoring agencies or even lower then the global tutoring agency companies who also have agency comission based business model structure.  
 

 

 
 

Plus in some cases independent tutors can even offer tutoring discounts for group based sessions.  This is a sweet deal, especially if you got another CPA study partner in your school who is also stuck, and you guys are trying to formulate a study group in your city, but simply stuck and not sure how to study for your exam or who to turn to.  

 
Group Tutoring Offering from Independent tutors can help students save money
In cases like that often simply asking independent tutor if they can teach actual 2 to 3 or more people group and seeing if they can provide discount, is even more beneficial then working with the agency!  Agencies are less flexible when it comes to such arangements, independent tutors are more flexible, and thefore in many cases would not mind giving discount of 20 to 40 percent for 2 students or 3 students.  Be sure to ask independent tutor if they offer discount.  
Note the tutors on www.Tutoringservices.com site, have mind of their own, they are not managed by Tutoring Services, LLC agency and do not follow rules of strict tutoring agency,  such as reporting times when private lesson was conducted with the student or getting paid from an agency and do not sign strict contract, hence hire tutors only at your own risk!  Such Tutors are independent contractors, but they are given less marketing opportunities then let's say for example of managed CPA accounting tutors who reside in CT | NY or NJ.

 
Managed Agency Tutors Vs Non Agency Managed
Such independent non-managed by the agency tutors are more flexible, and in some case more affordable and more lenient to scheduling changes and other arrangements then agency managed type of tutors such as the ones in CT | NY and NJ.  Therefore many of them can simply say yep, I offer Group Discounts and display that in their profile in the form of the icon (providing that they go through the CPA verified icon service)  

Note: Hiring independent tutor direct, without going through the agency, may not be the best choice, if you do not know much about the tutor.  To help CPA tutors differentiate themselves we provide them flexibility to get CPA verification icon, where we verify if tutor is indeed CPA subject matter expert, if they were certified or not.  

Regardless if CPA tutors are agency managed or not, they may end up being at the same skill level.  However agency tutor may in some cases end up being even cheaper then non agency managed tutor.  There are many reason for that, such as, first of all our agency fee is the lowest out of all other agencies in CT NY and NJ, second of all agency is able to provide simply more students leads to the CPA accounting tutor and tutor is ok giving up some of his/her money to the agency in effort to secure more hours and make money. 

 Other reasons can be discount packages, that tutor offers in his/her profile.  Plus the fact that our company actually verifies tutors for background checks is another reason why you want to pick agency based tutor, unless of course you see an icon on non agency managed tutor on www.TutoringServices.com that shows that this particular tutor had their background verified by the agency.  We offer that service as a seperate fee to non agency managed tutors.
 

We also show our tutors with group discounts who went through the verification stage.
In fact tutors who do offer group discounts, we also happen to show them in the form of "Group Tutoring Discount Offering" icon in their profile helping tutors differentiate themselves from the crowd, that is providing that they go through our Verified CPA subject matter expert icon strategy, which does involve all the way from the beginning from the day one of when they actually decided to prepare for their CPA exam, and used at least one or more of the study materials listed on our StudyGuide.net/CPA site and used our discount coupons (this way we actually know that they are studying for CPA exam and that they truly not just some random Joe, while simultaneously helping them save money on their test preparation expenses) 

 So how is our method different?  Well, we recruit tutors from the start, not just after they got certified, but all the way from their original roots of studying for their CPA exam, just like you are studying for your CPA exam now.   We do that by using variety of methods to attract students and future tutors, such methods include writing articles and showing 

Top accounting schools colleges/universities
Best Accounting Firms to work at
Money Saving Opportunities for students
Course Reviews
Showing local tutors and helping student realize how expensive some of them are and providing alternative method of preparing for CPA exam
State Requirements for CPA Exam test takers


We use the following methods to get the word out

Facebook Groups
Social Media Sites
Google Plus
Local Tutoring Network of CPA Accounting sitse
Test Prep Blogs
Study Guide sites
School Rating Sites
Books sites
Tutoring Job sites
Homework help sites
Tutoring Services sites


All of these sites are inter-tangled together in a way that makes it easier for us to get the right subject matter expert for CPA exam test taker who is preparing for their test and struggling. Plus think about this, if you get the right subject matter expert and happen to have couple of friends or study partners, you can split your CPA exam test tutoring expenses.  
Independent tutors do show group tutoring discounts, but only the ones that went through the CPA verification icon process.  This means that you can save money on preparing for your CPA test, by leveraging local tutor, and discuss with your tutor best time and place for group tutoring to take place, not bad for only paying $15 to our agency for first lesson.... and saving huge amount of money on CPA tutoring expenses.  Independent tutors can give really good group tutoring rates, helping you minimize your hourly expenses even more.

If you hire agency based tutor, you will be required to pay to the agency and not the tutor direct (however our fee is small), but agency tutors are verified, and more safer then non-agency once, however agency CPA managed tutors are only available in CT NY and NJ.  Do not get fooled contacting any of the tutoring farm sites that you see online, majority of these sites charge huge comission fees and show no result in your CPA exam test learning effectiviness.


Our Agency tutors are hand picked and interviewed, made accountable to sign contract and offer discount packages.  Having agency help you get your tutor picked, will most likely end up resulting in better chances of passing your CPA exam, but only in CT NY and NJ selected counties.  If you decide to hire a tutor using our agency, be sure to contact us and let us know when you are going to take your CPA test, so we can help you find the right tutor ahead of time before it's too late.  
Note competition for students getting the right tutor is high, and although we can not gurantee you that you will pass your CPA test with our tutors, we can maximize chances of doing so, by intercombining different learning methods for you to leverage during your CPA test preparation journey.


 
Tutoring Services, LLC helps current CPA students with more then just helping them get matched with local tutor
Tutoring Services, LLC specializes specifically in match making and network marketing, and leveraging this background verification check tactic for helping CPA students prepare for their exam with the qualified tutor, while simultaneously helping these very same CPA tutors who can tutor you now,  save money from from the very first day, when they weren't even a CPA tutor yet, and were simply in the process of studying for their CPA exam and searching for their test preparation materials, then stumbling up on the motivational tactic.  
The very same motivational tactic, that helps CPA tutors (former CPA students) realize their actual reasoning for why they should study for their exam, and carrying over that reasoning into financial incentive.  In case if any of that sounds confusing as hell.  Take a look here and see how we offer CPA students to get motivated, save money on educational test preparation expenses for their CPA exam & even maximize their chances of making money after they pass their exam, tutoring other students for this very same exam.
 
Getting affordable tutor is much simpler now then it was before
So what does it mean?  That means you can get fairly affordable CPA tutor locally in your area (only if one available) without having to pay twice as much as you would typically pay if you were to get a tutor from any other agency.  To help you get idea of what i am talking about.  Imagine you are studying for CPA exam.  Imagine you are stuck, you looked at a lot of different study resources on our site, and realized that you simply can't understand particular topic or perhaps you took exam already and failed!  

If that's the case sure you can use study guide, sure you can use video course, sure you can use online classes, sure you can go to a local CPA class or learning center or sure you can ask professor locally or online or in your school for help.  
However at the end of the day, the fact of the story is, unless you actually ask for indvidualized attention, then guess what your chances of preparing for your CPA exam effectively may be much smaller, in comparison to getting subject matter expert who can dive into CPA REG | FAR AUD | BEC sections with you and explain you what to watch out for how to master the test, etc.   


There is one gotcha though....
 
Or perhaps I should say not a gotcha, but rather reminder.....  Note not all of the tutors may be qualified as you would think to help you prepare for your Exam even if they are listed on our site.  I mean sure some are listed, some really are accounting experts, and did take their CPA exam.  However, how do you know for sure!  
Well other sites make their tutors pass the test online and boom you can be certified in 100 subjects over night!  Hmm, in our case we though it's completely bogus tactic!   
What owner of Tutoring Services, LLC did instead is created another strategy for helping CPA Accounting students decide whether or not the tutor who they are going to hire locally or online is truly right for them.  

So wait what type of strategy is that? 
 The type that literally gets tutors who trully took the CPA exam passed it and not only passed it but actually studied for it and can prove to Tutoring Services, LLC that they did in fact study for their CPA test and that they actually did pass their exam.   Tutors who did take their exam and passed it and became CPAs, would be verified by requesting them to let Tutoring Services, LLC know which study material they used, and sharing their lessons learned when preparing for their CPA exam as well as sharing other information that we ask for when verifying if they passed their exam or not.  
Then only in that that case we would show an icon on tutor's profile CPA verified subject matter expert type of icon, that will give you the CPA exam test taker, warm and fuzzy feeling that the tutor who you are about to hire is actually legit.  

In fact to help you realize whether or not he/she is legit, you would be able to read his/her CPA exam lessons learned, to see how that particular tutor tackled exam, what difficulties they discovered when they took their exam or any other lesson learned about CPA exam. 
Therefore word of advice is, look for that Verified CPA subject matter expert icon in tutor's profile.  Simply because, doing so, will show you whether or not CPA tutor is actually qualified to help you.  
We will also show our boosted premium local/online CPA tutors on this very same site
Additionally we just released a new marketing feature for CPA tutors to be boosted and also be shown on this very same site StudyGuide.NET/CPA-Tutors for a seperate monthly fee they can be boosted and shown on this very same site.  Note this feature is brand new, hence is the reason why you don't see tutors yet all the way at the bottom. 

 However, once we do get request coming from tutors we will add them to this site as well in a form of a tutoring profile, which will show lessons learned story from a particular tutor, tutor's profile picture and link to www.TutoringServices.com tutor's profile page.
For now click on this banner below to be navigated to our tutoring site and search for your CPA subject matter expert.

If you are a CPA exam test taker who took your exam and passed and got an awesome score and would like to help other CPA test takers become a CPA tutor feel free to visit our tutoring section page to read more info before you become one, here Boost Tutors will be shown on the site below, we highly recommend that you become boosted CPA tutor if you want maximum CPA accounting student exposure.  Of course you don't have to, but it's just a suggestion.  Doing so will help Tutoring Services, LLC and you.

CPA test takers students get motivated and make sure you study for your exam the right way, so after passing it you can also become a tutor in addition to working at full time accounting corporate job (we are hoping it can be one of the big accounting firms) and help other students as well, helping you make some extra money and pay off your college loans.  As a local tutor straight out of college I my self used to tutor right after work and still do, and it definitely helped me pay off my college expenses.  There is no reason why you can't do the same. 

 Although in my case it's mostly math, and science subjects, the concept of being able to tutor and make money teaching others is very similar, regardless if it's math, science, or anything else for that matter. Also if you are tutoring agency or learning center company or test prep company specializing in CPA Accounting don't hesitate to contact Tutoring Services, LLC to see how we can show your product to CPA exam test takers helping you make money, while helping students achieve their passing score.  

CPA student?  Took your Exam? Do you have your CPA study guides notes?  Want to sell it to us and in the future become CPA tutor?  
 
Want to sell it to us?  So we can share it with other students?  If so don't hesitate to contact us, this should give you even more extra reason to study for your CPA test. In fact here is what you can do when you start studying for you CPA Test.  Face it sometimes the best way to learn is by creating something that can help others learn.

 
Step 0.  Check out Exam info
Step 1.  Review money saving and making opportunities. 
Step 1.  Chose the right Study Materials (be sure to check them out on this very same site) (be sure to read our review section first)  Note you do not want to get a tutor without having any clue about exam or it's content, hence we recommend that you at least study for your exam just a bit on your own, to not feel overwhelmed with content during your CPA private tutoring lesson.

Step 2.  Get a local tutor to reinforce your learning effectiviness (if you want to save money even more try to find one that offers group tutoring and partner up with study partner) either by getting help from an agency to help you find a tutor or by visiting www.TutoringServices.com and getting first lesson for $15 to try out your tutor, if you like your tutor proceed with the rest of the lessons.  Be sure that tutor can handle your weak links first for BEC, REG, AUD, FAR exam sections.  If in CT or NY or NJ visit the sites shown earlier.

Step 3.  Begin Studying and compile CPA study guide together  (if you get motivated enough and want to actually have a shot at creating your own CPA study guide for each of the sections, REG, BEC, FAR, AUD then simply start creating one, but do let Tutoring Services, LLC know that you are doing this ahead of time through contact form.  This way we can provide some extra tips, for how you should format the study guide and how to make it look good etc.  

Step 4.  Take your CPA Test (after you confidently studied on your own and not only studied on your own, but also studied for the purpose of literally creating study guide that can help others, if you created something that can help others, there is a very high chance that you literally mastered CPA topics)

Step 5.  Get your CPA Score and submit it to us. (if you used coupons that were given to you by us from our site, then we can place your CPA verification icon in your profile and provide further instructions to you in your tutoring profile)

Step 6.  Contact us through contact form, so we can review your study guide and see if we can publish it on this site.  If the Study Guide is good, we will publish it, and you will get solid 70% of the earnings directly to you and 30% would go to our agency. (this fee is chump change for the amount of exposure your study guide would get, note only limited number of students are accepted, note no matter what you need to create study notes especially if you want to pass your CPA exam)

Step 7.  Register on our www.TutoringServices.com site as a CPA accounting tutor.  We will place your CPA verification icon, and link to your study guide that you wrote directly in your profile, helping you get differentiated even more as not only someone who took CPA exam.  Also tell us your lessons learned during your CPA exam test taking.  We can display them in your profile for you as well.

Step 8.  Enroll into Boost Feature to boost your tutoring profile locally if you want additional student exposure.

Step 9.  You are all set, simply enjoy geting student requests then tutoring them locally and making money on recurring basis from study guide sales.   

Hopefully this should be good motivation for you to study for your exam.  Note if you do not use our coupons you can still enroll into boost feature and CPA verification icon feature, for seperate fee.   Note if you are a tutoring or CPA test prep company or learning center and want to dominate your local area, and need our help? 

Then read this free over 400 pages marketing study guide created by Tutoring Services, LLC, from which our company can leverage similar tactics as described in this study guide to help you crush your competition and sell your local tutoring services, or CPA test prep materials, except this study guide is for LSAT test not CPA, but concept of marketing is very similar, regardless for what type of test your company is specializing in.
So What's Next?
Begin studying for your CPA, be sure to reivew your State Requirements before you begin preparing for your test.  
Questions?  Send us your question from the contact form at the bottom of this page.
 
 
Review differences between agency managed tutors and non agency managed tutors before you end up hiring one. We describe this concept very well here. This concept is tailored towards math students, but similar concept applies for CPA students and be great read for CPA student to better understand differences for Quality Vs Quanity.    
When ready to proceed in getting your non agency managed tutor go here for both local or online.
Follow instructions carefully.
http://www.tutoringservices.com/student-trial-15-info/slider/slider_1.html
Also if you go with that option do not reveal personal contact info with your tutor, this is important, otherwise our agency won't get paid, plus it's important for your safety and simply not the right thing to do.  By getting non agency manged tutor you agree to pay $15 to our agency in exchange to receive tutor's personal contact info and to have your personal contact info shared with thet accounting tutor.
For agency managed tutor
If deciding to get higher quality and less risk and wanting to go for agency tutor than contact Tutoring Services, LLC direct from either bottom of the contact form or from the bottom right corner, Let's Talk chat icon.
So basically you have 2 options.. non agency managed tutor (option 1)... possibly less quality CPA tutor and higher risk, but more affordable (in general not always)... or  agency managed tutor (option 2) more likely higher quality and less risk, but at the expense of small recurring agency fee (which can be offset in some cases by attractive discount packages helping you still get affordable agency managed tutor in comparison to non agency managed tutor).
Our advice is ... don't skip on your future education and go for agency managed tutor, if one is not available go for online agency managed tutor, agency managed tutors are great for long term tutoring.  However if if it's too short of a notice there is no guarantee that we can help you get matched with the agency managed tutor.  If it's a short term tutoring request than please proceed with non agency managed tutor.   Agency managed tutors are great for long term assignments where you buy up front discount packages.

So what is AdaptaPASS?
 

Click here to view more info ABOUT CPA YAEGER COURSE! 
When I first had a chance to look at what Yaeger cooked up, I personally Rome Wells, the person who is providing review on Yaeger, here literally almost fail off my chair.  I seen multiple type of courses from different industries packaged together, and packaged several my selves to help students learn, but what Yaeger cooked up I can with all honesty say I have never seen before.  
The whole concept of AdaptaPass algorithm that Yager uses, is specifically designed around student's learning style. 
As a tutor my self i have experimented with variety of learning styles directly by teaching students' in their homes, using different type of learning tactics to attract student's attentiona and analyzing which mechanism works best for the student.  What Yaeger did here is literalyl converged multiple learning tactics together to help students learn dynamically rather then statically, helping you identify your weak links, much easier rather then studying incorrectly. 

Note you may think what I am referring to here is not exactly related to CPA, but in fact it does!  Learning tactics and methods that people use to understand material are the same across many subjects and academic tests, including exam such as CPA.  What Yaeger did with AdaptaPass is literally infused their over 25 years of experience of how students learn and prepare for CPA into holistic learning system that, helps students understand their mistakes, and provides guided approach towards passing their exam. 

When I tutored students in different subjects and I tutored students in multiple subjects, including math, computer science, and even test prep subjects across different industries such as LSAT helping students enter law schools, one thing I noticed is that some student's simply do not like to read, and when they read something that they don't understand how multiple pieces of infromation are connected together and constantly refer back from textbook to handwritten quizes and spending tons of time tracking information flipping across books to find the relevant page. 
This is no different for CPA exam especially when you are just studying from the textbook!
What I referred to here is example of static learning, the type of learning where student is forced to flip across pages and spending more then 30% of the time tracking information in relevant places rather then actually studying.  What Yaeger cooked up, is a dynamic system the one that literaly syncs up video, text and questions in a way that it actually shows you relevant information to what you are studying in relevant sections of BEC, REG, AUD and FAR, then for each section it gives you AdaptaScore, that leverages basically buch of propriatory mechanism, factoring things like, notes you made in particular section, homework questions answerd, practice questions taken.  As part of it's algorithm it even factors into how difficult the question is. 
Note although actual CPA exam doesn't reveal it's mechanisms for scoring, and did not reveal their formula to the public, Yaeger came relatively close to simulating the official scoring, that is very similar to actual exam, yet at the same time more propriatory to Yaeger.   When I say propriatory, i don't mean that it's bad, i mean that AdaptaPass is specifically designed in the direction of helping students discover their weaknesses, and improve their score.
The most Craziest and Innovative Method of Learning I have ever seen
The most craziest thing that i ever saw is how AdaptaPass uses bunch of personalized questions that are initially asked from you and presents you with the right format.  That i found extremely unique!  I had so many instances when i would tutor students directly at their home many students would tell me, can you please show me example of what you just described in your lecture, and then i would literally provide them bunch of examples in person to solidify and reinforce their level of understanding with bunch of supplementary questions.  
Yaeger basically did something very similar except insead of having real life tutor, Yaeger company managed to use video based instructor. (and believe me real life tutor who sits to you face to face explaining things  is a heck of a lot more expensive then what you would get with the self guided video course).  

By using video based tutor, Yaeger accomplished 2 things (and many other things not mentioned), 1 they have eradicated the need for local tutoring by helping you study on your own instead, and making education more affordable then it would be with one on one tutoring.   Note Yaeger didn't completely eradicate the need, in some cases it's simply more effective to have real person tutor you for CPA exam, it depends on the learning style.  
I personally recommend students to study with both, real life tutor face to face at your home or in local public place, or online and with video course such as the one provided by Yaeger, that leverages AdaptaPASS or any other company who offers CPA test prep that is high quality.

        Second thing Yaeger did is, they holistically intercombined videos of the actual lectures of a video instructor with actual text based CPA questions, and even synced them up, meaning every time you watch a video of specific section where you see instructor talking, it would show you relevant CPA question corresponding to that particular moment in time!  Note this may seem like, well, not a big feature and what's the big deal here right?  Well trust me... i seen many courses and basically many other courses do not have that feature, making overall learning effectiviness lower.  
This is a killer feature of it's own helping you learn way faster rather then flipping pages in the static book or watching any other courses that either have other students interrupting in the middle of the lesson, or watching it sequentially!   Holy cow, I mean seriously who would have though of that?  My best comparison to Yaeger CPA review AdaptaPASS system is like Khan Academy on steroids, but only for CPA exam test takers.  
If you watch the video provided on the Yaeger site, you would see exactly what i am talking about, it's hard to describe in words,   Therefore, i have requested my team to craete bunch of graphics to help you understand what AdaptaPASS is! Some of these pictures you will find further down this page.  Also further down you will see what's included in the course and Yaeger's comparison to other courses.  
Note this is not an ordinary static video course like you see at Udemy site or any other site, this is like straight out of science fiction type of learning method that will make you want to be glued to the screen and wanting to finsh all of your sections of CPA exam.

Indeed, when I first evaluated  AdaptaPASS, it literally learns your learning style. In the beginning it asks bunch of questions, and even if you answered them incorrectly to help the system decide which level of formatting is best for you, it adjusts towards your learning style at a later point.  For example when i first saw bunch of questions, such as are you more of a visual learner or textbook learner, i wasn't sure what type of learning style i liked the most, i sort of knew that I like to read and quickly scan material with my eyes rather then watching videos, so i slid the cursor of the AdaptaPASS questionaire in the direction of being a reader type of person rather then video based person.
 Then as I started going down the path of analyzing what the visual format looks like for each of the sections, i realized that the system was feeding me more type of static text based images, that i can quickly read through, but simultaneously it would offer me video feeds from the instructor corresponding to a particular section.  When i saw that, this is when i almost fail of the chair. 

The system is designed so intelligently that it literally knows what section you are at when you are reading static text, and adjust proper lectures for you, then if you jump into the lecture, it would reinforce you with supplementary CPA question from the section.    
As I started the course review by first placing my self into more of reader type of mode, by answering the question that i am more of a reader, i thought that i like to read, but in reality, it turned out to be that i was so engaged into the actual video feed of what instructor was talking about, that i ended up watching more and more videos, and AdaptaPASS adjusted towards my learning style, and started feeding me more videos and automatically syncing up relevant information holy cow!  This is huge feature, because i wasn't even sure what type of learner I am until I started trying to learn wow!

Given the history of the fact that i am an educational advocate and love to learn new things, i found the overall complexity of AdaptaPASS convinient for the student who is preparing for their exam.  Often you don't realize what you get into when you buy a course, but after i tried it i was hoooked in it.  Note my goal was to evaluate overall system of Yaeger, not to see what type of questions are present and how effective it is from the verical stand point, i think the fact that over 88 percent of people pass their test should already tell you something, about it's overall effectiviness.  

However in case you are wondering what type of questions are present on Yaeger, questions that are presented there are pre-selected by no more then 2 instructors, reviewed, verified and categorized.  Another unique feature of these questions is that Yaeger actually selects the cream of the crop type of questions, the best type of questions.  There are many questions that were discarded in the process of selecting questions for CPA exam bank. Plus what i really liked about them is the fact that they go in depth of why the wrong answer to the question is wrong, and why the right answer is right, that are all customly created!  

This is huge differentiation across others, because it allows you to focus on your strength and realize your mistakes and have a deep analyzed response feedback from Yaeger's course.  Each of these responses was customly created by actual instructors and put together and compiled,  This is where majority of sweat an work went into.   What differentiate them the most is that they have high quality picked questions.  They don't just offer CPA questions in the test, CPA practice questions you can find on the internet everywhere for free.  

Just some of the features that differentiate Yaeger from others
What differentiates them the most is the fact that their questions are intelligently categorized into relevant sections of exam giving you flexibility to focus on your particular FAR, BEC, AUD, REG and helping you reinforce your knowledge with up to date ty pe of questions that are picked based on multiple criteria, such as how hard the question is how many points it's worth, etc.  All of that is factored into AdaptaScore and packaged together to show to the student where the student is at in the overall progress!  


Plus they even have a predictive based alignment feature, where you literally tell them when you are trying to take exam and the system feeds you content based on your exam test date, so this way you actually know when enough is enough for you to study, rather then preparing with countless hours by getting fed questions that you already greatly familar with!  This is a killer feature also!  For example many questions ask, how much time should i dedciate to studying, etc.  Well that question is difficult to answer unless  you know particular learning style of the student.  

Yaeger system adjust and recommends automatically best date for you to register for exam
The  Yaeger system adjust and recommends automatically the best date for you to register for your exam.  I simply have not see anything like that anywhere else.  Yaeger packaged up almost everything that comes into the humanly brain possible to achieve the most effective method of learning for CPA exam test takers, by infusing their years of experience.  Once again it's difficult to describe what i am referring to in words, hence continue scrolling down and reading and viewing some of the graphics we created, after reviewing it all feel free to click on this link to be navigated to the actual Yaeger sales page to try it your self.

What i am doing here is summarizing the differences and helping you decide if the course is right for you.  Think of me as your guide who is helping you make up your decision.  To try out actual course itself and see how you like it you can click here and check for yourself what i am talking about. Or continue reading further to view more info.

Wow I haven't seen this review, and didn't know about Yaeger, but after seeing it, i would like to try it however i already enrolled into Rogers or any other CPa material what do i do?
 
If you used any other CPA test prep material and found yourself weak in the particular section of exam then you can still use Yaeger individual course sections for BEC, REG, AUD, FAR to reinforce your self further and still take advantage of AdaptaPASS while increasing your chances of passing your exam.  For maximum learning effectiviness use different CPA test prep vendors, especially for the weak sections of the exam.  
It's ok to pay for a solid full course access and realize that perhaps you are still weak in one of the sections.  It's perfectly normal to make that mistake, especially when so many CPA blog sites out there only recommend what makes sense to them rather then really recommending what makes sense to them and to students (leaving students stranted just to end up buying some useless study material that they didn't even need in a first place!). 

However, not all of the courses are created equal, many of them have their own bells and whistles, and one particular section of one course maybe more effective then another course by another test prep provider/vendor.  

In fact some students do not even like studying for this exam with any video course, and enjoy studying with the study partner instead, especially if they are on the budget and want to split their test prep expenses. 
 This is all great, however your study partner's learning style may not be the same as yours! Hence keep that in mind.  Some study materials it make sense to buy only for your self, such as for specific sections of CPA exam where you are weak at and other study materials in some cases if study partner is ok to split it expenses with you can be ok as well.  In fact if you want to know more abuot how you can prepare for your CPA Exam with study partner and save money in process of doing this you can click here.

CPA Test Prep Journey and Study paths explained
One study path you may want to consider if you are on the budget, is find a study partner in your local area or online, then find a tutor who can help you and your study partner prepare for CPA exam either locally or online.  If doing so online, use google hangout or Skype to do group chat video, have online tutor present content and teach both of you and split tutor's expenses between you and your study partner, then after you finish getting tutored, exchanged notes between your study partner ask your study partner if you or the study partner is willing to enroll into Yaeger CPA course and split expense. 

This is of course sort of incompatible study path with AdaptaPASS since the course system adjust towards your learning style,  rather then your study partner.  
However, doing first initial steps of splitting tutoring expenses and studying with the study partner can be also effective way of preparing, in some cases way more effective then with any course.

For most effective way of course it's better if each individual study partner purchase their own account from Yaeger,

Some vendors for example do not allow sharing of materials across multiple people using single account (to protect their investment), and some provide discount if you and your study partner for example studies together.


Also if you do decide to study for your CPA exam from test prep material, don't do the mistake of simply reusing somebody's old material. Exam constantly changes, and Yaeger stays on top of it.  Hence my word of advice, if you want to save money, use combination of different study patht that i mentioned.  
Studying with multiple resources with more then just Yaeger can help you improve your learning effectiviness
Or you can simply study with study partner and split tutoring expense of a local tutor who can teach both of your directly in your home and don't study from the course and study from free resources, that is also an option, but the reason why their couse cost so much is because they package it all together neatly and easy for you without you having to worry about searching for any type of study partners or tutors or any of that and simply study on your own by enrolling into the course, but feel like you are studying with the actual tutor, except in online self guided setting.  
Note in some cases you want to use study path of for example, before doing anything at all, getting local tutor who can come directly to your home, tutor you for CPA exam twice per week face to face (very effective way of preparing in fact that is what my Tutoring Services, LLC company offers for CT NY and NJ CPA students), help you understand particular sections.  For example tutor may realize that you are weak in REG.... and in that case provide recommendation to you to enroll into additional supplemetnary material, that supplementary materical can be for example Yaeger's AdaptaPASS access to REG section only, which is way cheaper then the full course! 
Some tutors offer group discounts think of leveraging tutors in addition to Yager as part of your test preparation journey
 Note some tutors even offer group discounts for helping you to save money locally, and often in many cases it's just easier to ask CPA tutor question, who actually took the exam and can share their lessons learned with you and gear you in the right direction, then buying a course in a first place, however.  For example suppose you are going to college and have another student who goes to the same college, you can buddy up with them and then agree on getting independent tutor who can help you prepare for CPA.  The are agencies (including our own Tutoring Services, LLC that helps students in CT NY and NJ selected counties or other students nationally thorugh our sister tutoring site) out there that can help you find a tutor or you can search for tutors yourself on our site, for more info about CPA tutors visit here.
Using local tutor can be expensive, Yaeger provides great supplementary or additional method of learning as an alternative
However if you do not want to spend money on a tutor, for each lesson because face it each lesson can be expensive.... For example tutors in CT NY and NJ charge whooping 120 bucks per hour easy!  Well after first let's say 8 something sessions you already would pay the same amount that you would pay for the course.  Obviously it depends if you used an agency to help you find one or if you went out on your own and tried to find one, on our sister site for example or if you bought discoung packages or not, or if you got group tutoring or not etc...   The bottom line is... what i am trying to say here is...
If you have a deadline coming up for your CPA test
 
 If you have deadline coming up and not at the luxury of spending any money on real local face to face cpa or online tutor, then simply gain access to Yaeger, plus they have customized support also and very helpful.  If you do have a bit of time and luxury and money to get a local tutor, then do so, since this can be very effective since it's face to face, and you can ask any questions you like and tutor can help you answer them rather then getting self guided information into your brain that is limited to the type of questions  you have in real time.  For example, i am the type of learner who likes to ask questions as I go through information.  Sometimes it's important to go through the full book and full video before asking any questions though, since majority of these questions can be cleared away, and ideally this is what i would recommend to any student who is preparing for CPA. 
Note if you have luxury of getting local tutor is better then online
I dont' need to explain reasoning why local tutor is better then online, this resoning is quiet obvious, but if you want to see full explanation visit this link
Use intercombination of Yaeger Course and local/online private tutor
Before hiring a local tutor get familiar with course content go through the course, realize that you are weak at particular link then when tutor shows up ask them questions realted to your weak links and see if tutor can explain it to you better.   Hence my best suggestion is use intercombination of local tutor and Yaeger or any other CPA exam, and don't just look at price, price is the least minimum thing that you should worry about when it comes to preparing for your future.   
Colleges and University Classes can help you prepare for CPA, but do not have much interest as much as private institutions, tutors and customized test prep programs offer such as Yaeger
Colleges and universities simply don't cut it when it comes to preparing students for CPA exam.  Sure college classes provide you with general ground core knowledge, but they typically do not have that same level of private interested to help you as much as let's say private CPA tutor would, and as much as what Yaeger would intercombined together for maximum learning effectiviness.

Frustrated studying on your own? Already have Study Partner?  Great choice! Studying together is more fun!
 
Find out how you can increase your learning effectiviness by leveraging study partner, prepare for your CPA exam, and save money in the process of doing it all, while positioning your self in the direction of making money after you pass your CPA exam, by doing something on the side such as part time tutoring.  Find out how you can split your CPA test prep and tutoring expenses with your study partner, and find out where to find study partner or how to find study partner for your CPA exam, additionally find out how to split expenses for your study guides.  This article also reveals biggest secrets on planet earth revealed to CPA exam test takers about how other edu companies exploit poor students, and how our company helps education stay affordable.  Getting accounting degree is already expensive, we try to help students prepare for their career in affordable way.


Study Tip There is a lot of info to process in this article about study partners, hence please don't be overwhelmed.  Reading this info is neccesary to help you save money and prepare effectively for REG | BEC | AUD | FAR sections of CPA exam.

 

Reason why studying with CPA exam study partner makes sense
 
Well indeed, it's not fun to study on your own, study partner concept been around for a long time  (the trouble is not that many companies managed to glue together such concept before) and often having someone by your side either locally or online can indeed motivate you and increase your overall learning effectiviness when preparing for your Accounting CPA Test.  Plus when you are studying with study partner, you can split your test prep expenses and save money, something that is also a good plus.  However, sometimes it's not about money, and more about how motivated you are.  Getting study partner to help you be motivated is definitely a good idea.
 

Why studying with study partner only for your CPA exam is not a good idea?
 
Typically if both study partners are studying for exam, they are most likely studying because none of them know much about CPA test prep and simply want to combine their knowledge power to overcome rigorous test, which is understandible.  How often there are situations where both study partners are simply studying wrong topics, or not studying right for their exam, and in some cases that can result in simply failing your exam, especially when both study partners are not really that good in test prep yet still teamed up together.  The  fact that both study partners can team together is already a motiviation and power element when it comes to preparing for your exam.  

However if you already got the study partner then why not take advantage of each others finances and help each other out while increasing your overall learning effectiviness?  One way of doing this is by getting a guide someone who can guide you in your test preparation, someone who can sit down next to you and your study partner and can teach both of you or entire group of you to prepare for your exam.  
This way you are studying for your test comfortably with a qualified expert who actually either took CPA exam or simply graduated from a good accounting school and knows accounting subject in and out, typically such tutors are referred to as subject matter experts.  
The problem with this approach is that although studying with the tutor maybe a very good idea, in reality studying  for cpa accounting exam only with the tutor and study partner is not good enough.  Think about it, when you are trying to learn something new, you probably do some sort of research right to be more prepared for something right? 

 Tutor can faciliate the discussion between study partners, offer his/her advice, share their lessons learned, and can also be your guide for your CPA test prep journey.  However if you truly want to increase your learning effectiviness even more, we highly recommed studying not just with the study partner and not just with the tutor, but with intercombination of it all, Study Partner + Tutor + CPA Study Guides.


Why studying with the tutor and study guide is a good idea?
Tutor may have his/her own CPA book that they most likely use during tutoring lesson and already went through the process of helping students get better grades or getting better score in CPA test, understand learning styles and can relay their information better to you and your study partner, then if let's say you simply studied for your CPA exam with the study partner only. Studying from the study gudie before meeting with the tutor, is even better idea, this way you can have higher level of learning effectiviness when tutoring session takes place.

 

When preparing for your CPA exam, don't just rely on your study partner and your tutor, know CPA concepts your self as well
 
That is all great, but even before tutor shows up at your local learning area, either at your home, starbucks or public library or college campus, it's sort of important to actually know topics your self and don't just rely on your study partner and your tutor, if you actually know the topics at least remotely near yourself, it's easier to faciliate discussion between your tutor and your study partner.  
What to do before you and your study partner meet with the tutor face to face locally or online for your first CPA test prep tutoring lesson 
So before you even meet with the tutor face to face, it's recommended that you go through the listings of the study guides on this very same site see which self guided material you like and discuss with your study partner or study partners if they are willing to split cost of the study guide between each other. 
If they agree to buy study guide and split expenses, be sure to use our coupons if you see us offering them to help you save even more money, however even if you don't see coupons, it's still a killer deal to save already on your CPA study guide expenses by leveraging finances of your study partner, and not only that but also split your tutoring expenses, while getting highest level of learning effectiviness for more affordable price.  Every time you purchase a study guide from our site, you are supporting our cause for affordable education. 


Before hiring a tutor
 Before hiring a tutor you can discuss with your study partner whether he/she is willing to hire an agency managed on non agency managed independent CPA tutor (whose expenses you and your study partner can split) who can help both of you guys/gals out directly in your local area or online to  prepare for this rigorous test.  This type of communication between your self and the study partner we recommend doing ahead of time before contacting accounting tutor.

Note you can also save money even further for CPA study materials, some times we show promotional offers, and discount coupons to CPA exam students. 
 

What are the main challanges with studying together in educational industry?
 
Challange number 1.  There are a lot of companies out there who simply capitalize on poor students without providing much in return, forcing students to pay huge agency comission recurring fees for their tutors and creating the type of material that costs thousands of dollars, making it difficulty for students to prepare for CPA exam in mofre affordable manner!
Tutoring Services, LLC combats these type of business models by eradicating middle man out of the picture and making it possible to have more affordable education.   Note we do not completely eradicate middle man, we still are middle man for let's say our local tutoring tutor managed business system model, which simply offers higher quality match with a smaller comission fee then any other company offers in the area (where we work hard to deliver local CPA tutors to local students, by helping them get matched), that is precisely why it follows comission based model, and there is nothing wrong with that, providing that the company provides particular value to CPA exam test takers helping them pass their exam.  

However what we discovered is that there are tons of companies who simply do not provide any of the high quality match value and simply charge huge agency recurring comission fees, with 100ds of thousands of tutors listed on their sites who are simply way over inflated in price!  
 That's not right..... It's understandible if the fee is about $65 per hour since agency have to do many things like back ground check, communication, marketing and bunch of other stuff, but insane fees like 70% and way above are simply not right!  Note for learning centers it's different, they must maintain class room and space and fees can go higher there, but.... for actual companies who simply math make students with tutors and charge huge fees for no good reason, well that's just robbery!  

          We realized that and created Tutoring Services, LLC company that eradicates middle man and although we charge $15 fee for first lesson, that we kindly ask students to pay to try their tutor, it's a heck of a lot better then charging insane agency fees and not doing much in return.  Simply because you and your study partner can work with the tutor direct after first lesson with out any agency fees and in some cases, if tutors show up in their profile CPA verified icon and group tutoring discount icon get even bigger discounts!  That feature we offer to CPA independent tutors, who want to be listed on our TutoringServices site and be differentiated from other tutors by showing that they offer group tutoring discounts and CPA verified, be sure to look out for tutors like that if available in your area.


Note however in some case hiring agency especially specialized agency who knows what they are talking about can be better for you, since they can provide better study guide recommendations and offer higher quality match, plus agency tutors are more responsive, managable and controlled rather then non agency managed once, because they are binded by contract.  
Plus some agencies have tutors who offer discount packages directly in their profile, helping you save even more money if you buy several hours upfront, but agency tutors are typically less flexible then non agency managed based tutors, but not always for example our CT NY and NJ managed tutors are flexible yet still enrolled into our managed tutor agency.  

For example our company have both business model that we leverage to help CPA exam test takers prepare for their exam, (for example check our CPA New Haven Managed tutoring business in CT.   
One business model that works with managed tutors and another one that simply allows tutors to register on www.TutoringServices.com as non managed agency independent tutors, although both models are very similar in reality, one model offers way higher quality match, where we actually help students find their tutor based on their budget, talk on the phone with an agent and discuss your CPA test prep taking needs, and get matched with the local tutor, but that model is only available in selected counties of CT NY and NJ. 

 

What to not do when searching for a study partner?
Do not just try going to some sites that simply tell you that you can find study partners there and learn from each other and only use this strategy for your CPA test prep, CPA exam is not a joke!  The reality is if you already lost in the woods, and trying to get out of the forest, the chances are, with another person in the woods who is also lost in the forest your chances of finding way out are still slim!  (symbolism for CPA test prep and you studying only with study partner)  Hence leverage someone who can help you and your study partner get out of the woods and hire a tutor whose expenses you can split between each other and study effectively for your CPA exam.


Well technically you can still go to these sites study partners, find study partner you need and then come back here to find your tutor, providing that these sites do not nickle and dime you for anything you do on their site.  Or you can send a message in this very same site for us to help you post your study partner request in your local area in USA only or online.  We like to help our students save money.  
However, this would require us posting some ads on this site and bunch of CPA test preparation sites that we have access 2 and other companies don't, we have no problem of doing so, but there would be a small fee for that, do let us know if interested.  We try to help students as much as we can in saving money.   Although you can probably avoid these fees, if you already have someone in your school locally, someone who goes to the same college as you do, perhaps another student in your Accounting class.   

The main benefit of do spending a small fee and asking us for help from contact form below, is the fact that we have bunch of CPA sites spread out horizontally and leveraging that strategy to post your request across multiple of them can in some case results in you simply finding study partner quicker.   
All you have to do is contact us tell us when you are taking your CPA exam which school you are currently attending and tell us where you are looking for study partner, what state what city in USA or if your are looking for one online or either or.  Then we can put our network of sites to use.  Note other students often come down to this site and also interested in study partners, that is how they also would find out about you. We would show their listing, in dedicated sections, specifically designed to make it easier for your study partners to find your ad, and no we are not just advertisement company.  We are an educational research company, and match making company who can help students find each other or tutors or study guides.  If we were simply an advertisement company, then that ad fee would be extremely expensive, but because we already have network of CPA accounting sites, it's less expensive for us.  

Why don't you find out for your self.... go to google sign up for ad sense, and see how much each click cost for keyword "CPA study" or anything related to that.... then see how much money it would take you to find study partner on your own.  The shocking surprise is... it would be a lot.... Of course you can try other methods, but... it's like trying to scream in the forest where no one around you and can't hear you and hope that someone responds.... :)  
Word of advice if you have your test coming up and you are stuck and need help finding someone to help you such as study partner, don't hesiate to contact us to help you find your study partner by posting an ad on our network of sites. Doing so can increase chances of finding someone rather then not doing it at all.


We aggregate multiple methods together to help find CPA study partners
We aggreate, school ratings, teacher reatings, books, study guides, tutors, reviews, study guides, study partners, top CPA firms while leveraging our local tutoring network of sites, and test prep blog sites together, and in one way or another students find us.  Typically placing an ad does not gurantee that you find study partner right away, in fact it may take a while in some cases dependent on which geographic region you are at, however doing so does increase your chances of finding one.  It's a good idea to ask us for help way ahead of time before your CPA exam.  Note we are match making company we specialize in that, whether it's tutors or study partners we can help.  

However as mentioned earlier there is match making fee, the fee that can help us maintain your expenses, plus you can recover that small fee anyway once you get matched with your study partner, because you most likely will be able to split your expenses and go 50 50 with your study buddy and would even be able to split tutoring expense if one of the CPA tutors is available online or locally, briging your savings even further. Plus by dong so you can support our mission of supporting affordable education and knowing that you are making a difference in this world.
Plus when you and your study buddy prepare for your CPA test you can use discount coupons (only if we offer them) to save even more money.  Hence that fee is not a big deal, or of course your other alternative is to go to bunch of other sites that can help you find study partners and come back here. 


Tutoring Services, LLC is all about helping students save money
Crafting business systems that can help students save money is exactly the type of business we specialize in.  Why not leverage our model to help your self save money, prepare for your test at way cheaper price, then studying for your eaxm simply by your self and be bored, less motivated and over pay for something that you shouldn't overpay in a first place.
