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.

 

        
Note if you are residing in CT or NY or NJ and looking for a CPA accounting tutor and happen to be from Fairfield, New Haven, Westchester or Bergen County then visit any of the sites below to get matched with the local tutor, view our phone number there and call us but only if you are from these counties.  We can not help you if you are outside of these counties by phone and can only help you by you contacting us at the contact form below this site for any additional questions that you may have.

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.

Tips for how to save money on CPA exam
Latest Tip from Rome Wells:  
 
Tip #1  Split your CPA Exam study material expenses with the study partner
Consider splitting your CPA Study materials with study partners, this can help you prepare for your exam in more affordable way.
To search for a study partner, simply go to CPA facebook group and tell everyone that you are looking for a study partner, see who responds, then simply ask them if they are willing to split 50/50 one of the CPA courses.  Or if you have 3 people who respond, then ask them if they are willing to cheap in 33.33 percent of CPA exam prep course price.  

If they say yes, simply navigate to one of the cpa courses shown on this site, and follow the buy now button link that will take you to the vendors sales page, where you can purchase the course.
Be sure that you discuss with your study partners your study plan and scheduling that fits all of you.  Note some CPA courses are adaptive, and often it's a good idea to go through the course on your own, but while together in groups with your study partners go over the course again and try to test each other, this will make learning fun and make it more memorable.  


In case if for whatever reason you have trouble collecting money from your study partners and no one is willing to cheap in, then you probably found the wrong study partners.  In which case you can repost your study partner ad on the facebook group to see who else will respond.  
Once someone responds best way to convince someone to split study expenses is to communicate with them, explain them where you are from and how quickly you would like to study and when are you planning on taking your test.  
Then when ready simply purchase one of the Rome Wells recommended CPA courses and simply study together with another student, by split sharing your screen either using Skype or another online sharing method such as google hangouts.  
For maximum effectiviness, purchase CPA tutoring discount package from one of the CPA tutors, who can explain to you and your study partners how to prepare for exam more more effectively. Getting a tutor is definitely worth it, since it can make a huge difference between pass and fail. 

Tip #2 Consider using a tutor and sharing your tutoring expenses with another study partner or multiple study partners.
To search for a CPA tutor reach out to Rome Wells directly either on linked in or on facebook or go to Rome Wells created search engine www.TutoringServices.com and search for your CPA tutor on your own, first lesson only $15. Or get specialized CPA tutors who are directly managed by Tutoring Services, LLC and are higher quality go here.   Typically agency managed cpa tutors are either content creators + tutors or simply CPA tutors (either students who finished their CPA exam and passed and can make a huge difference in helping you pass or professional accounting instructors CPA veterans)
Tip #3 Consider using coupons and discounts.
 Rome Wells either list courses that are already discounted or provides coupons hooking you up with even bigger savings for you CPA exam test prep expenses.

Word of caution to anyone who is reading this.
As you may very well know CPA exam often gets confused with actual CPA marketing, which basically has nothing to do with the CPA test.   This site is about test prep. and helping students to prepare for account CPA exam. 
This is not a CPA marketing site of any sort.  In fact word of advice and caution from Rome Wells. Any time you see any company who is attempting to teach you something CPA marketing related (not test related). dont get fooled. majority of these companies are swindlers and thiefs.    Why is Rome Wells telling you this, especially if it has nothing to do with CPA test?
The reason why I am telling you this. is because if you are in the process of preparing for CPA exam then you are at higher risk of being victim to such scams. These scams are around how you can become rich by following their marketing patterns or anything insane like that. all a scam. at least in 95% of the cases.  
Rome Wells is like a firewall, that detects bull shit and exposes this bull shit so no one elese becomes victim of it.  I as educational advocate can not bare looking at multiple people getting ripped off, and it's just my absolute duty to tell you this...even though it's not related to CPA test prep (or should i say it sort of it is in a weird negative way). simply because. I am an educational advocate and i speak up for others who do not have power in voice as much as my company does, and therefore I will make it harder for such type of companies to swindle you, hard working student and future CPA exam test taker and accountants.
However in case if for whatever odd reason you do happen to be interested in CPA marketing and not in CPA then consider reading our book in marketing that is based on actual real marketing, that is proven to work and no it's not any useless CPA marketing it's completely different, but perhaps is something that you are looking for.  Note I have nothing to do with any of  CPA non test prep related offerings that swindle people to invest into something, I simply deliver the truth.  I built my business on delivering the truth to future accountants and students like you and many other students in different fields.

This may seem very strange, but basically the gist of the story is simple.... Tutoring Services, LLC specializes in crafting learning methods and solutions for variety of industries including accounting industry.  FYI tutor rating stars showing grayed out needs to be fixed.. its a bug in the system.

Owner of Tutoring Services, LLC Story (note if you dont want to read the story and interested in simply study guides click here)
And Yes, Owner of the company Rome Wells (the guy in that profile above), created insane network (leveraging his IT consulting and math skills and actual IT networking skills in real world computer networks and carried that knowledge into creating CPA website network, in case you want to see actual IT networks that owner of Tutoring Services, LLC created check out this site, it may be difficult to see how on earth I managed to think of all this, from creating IT networks and creating math services and carrying it all over into helping CPA accountng students prepare for the exam).
Interested in Rome Wells amazing brain power?  FYI Rome Wells is not a CPA, but his power is to bring people together. See how he does it here. how he is uniting together multiple test prep companies and tutoring companies together and telling them enough is enough, start following best practices of high quality education in America and start offering better tutoring services for students in all sorts of fields and stop swindling people with high agency recurring prices unless you provide solid value to students, and if you can not provide that value make prices affordable on education.  Rome Wells even shows them methods how to make pricing affordable.
In fact Rome Wells even intermixes concepts of accounting into his advocacy speech towards American companies and makes every company out there who specializes in educational test prep realize importance of education, making it perfectly clear and concise, that they can not move jobs away outside of America, within a small exception in cases where it can provide feasible beneficial value, and if they do move jobs away get ready to be hit by higher tax prices.  Our company Tutoring Services, LLC helps America and Canada get ahead in education, this is what we do, and of course helps other countries too, but America comes first.

How I Intercombined concepts of CPA books, tutors and study guides all in a single platform
Essentially what I did is intercombined concepts of books, tutors, study guides, all in a single web site.  This way what this technically means is, if lets say you happen to be a student studying for your CPA eam and happen to live in CT and decided to search for a local tutor in CT in lets say subject of CPA.  
Then the relevant information would be shown to the student.  For example if there is a tutor then there would be CPA tutor shown, if there is a study guide, then there would be CPA study guide shown, if there is a book that is being sold in CPA exam in particular school directly from other student then the book will be listed under school as well.  You can even click on school to see school ratings and see what other students are saying about particular school. 


Students can view local tutors, who can teach subject of CPA and come directly to students home and purchase discount packages from such local tutors, where Tutoring Services, LLC helps students get matched with a particular tutor in the local area of 4 counties mentioned above.  
        Students who are looking for accounting help can simply realize by browsing our search engine, that there is also for example CPA study guide and end up realizing that perhaps there is a cheaper way to prepare for their Accounting test and may end up clicking on CPA study guide instead and get directed to this page you are looking at right or to any other CPA study resource page. 


 Or perhaps student may want to save money even more and either consider buying CPA book directly from another student in their own school in their city, or selling their book directly in that particular school and listing it on the FREE site that Rome Wells conviniently designed for CPA exam test takers. 
 
Well technically it wasnt for just CPA exam tests takers it all started out with insane idea of trying to make search engine work for only Algebra students and tutors only, but then somehow it gradually carried over into CPA exam search engine, helping accounting students, and rapidly it grew into search engines across other industries also.  For example, Nurses Lawyers, Doctors, even IT Engineers, Information Security Professionals, and  Project Managers , Business Graduate Students, Graduate entrance students, military students, private school students, and many others. Providing multiple people advice based on the research conducted by our company.  
Rome Wells pops up on many different industry exams. So the chances are even if you are preparing for something else other then CPA Rome Wells most likely has it covered!  Or if your brother or a sister or a friend preparing for some exam, whatever that exam maybe the chances are Rome Wells has it covered and you can nicely refer them to this site.

Do you think CPA exam is hard and should I become CPA?
Do you think CPA exam is hard?  Have you thought about other fields?  Rome Wells is here to give you perspective across many fields, because maybe just maybe CPA is not something that you want to do!  Maybe just maybe you want to do something else... and someone else brainwashed you that you need to become CPA instead.... have you ever asked your self this question?  
This is why my company Tutoring Services, LLC has created this site specifically to help lost souls out there who got improperly influenced by others, helping them realize if their journey is right for them or not and if it is then most certainly by all means continue preparing with the study materials that we provide recommendations for and if not then visit other sections.  
Advice from Rome Wells to do your research carefully before beocming CPA
You know initially I also used to be a math teacher (well i sort of am in fact still certified until 2018) but guess what... i hated teaching in school (yet i loved tutoring 1 on 1).... and i only realized that after i became a teacher and finished my first semester of student teaching... so can that happen to you... can you hypothetically not like accounting and perhaps your life should be dedicated to something else?  Hmmm that is most certainly a possibility.... 
However to understand it all you must have different perspectives on life and careers and options and this is what Rome Wells is good at... leveraging his company Tutoring Services, LLC to help you make that realization.  Who knows maybe you are not here because you really want to prepare for CPA, but instead you are here to get advice, and recommendationof what you should really be.
How do i know if CPA career path is right for me?
When was the last time you seen in any website that you go to... where you  get recommendations authentically for you?  In most other sites you vist all you see is how you must become CPA and giving you all the benefits, but what if you are not sure... what if its not the right field for you!  What then?  Dont be fooled, get the whole perspective just like Rome Wells has entire perspective from multiple angles and multiple industries, before making your career choice.  
What you are getting from this site is authentic advice, from multiple angles, from an independent advisor, whose goal is not to just sell you study guides, but motivate you and help you learn and help you realize the truth and who you are and even tell you to explore other fields before deciding to get into CPA field.
Why other companies only try to sell their product and do not recommend you other careers?
 
Other companies typically dont do that... why? Reason is simple .. because they are trying to sell you their product and their product only. however we do not have such large incentive... because technically you can buy any of the test prep CPA products that we list in either CPA field or buy study resources in any other exam, the difference here is.... 
You get to see multiple perspectives on you career path from an independent educational advisor, which is  heck of a lot beter then listening to anyone else who is not an independent advisor.   Note of course you may say, well I know i am ready to be CPA therefore i dont need any independent advisors and need CPA advisor who is more tailored towards me.... 
We understand that. which is precisely the reason why we researched multiple CPA test prep vendors and shared multiple lessons learned from CPA exam test takers acrosss our entire network of blogs sites, helping you make informative decision in your CPA test preparation journey.
 
Of course you should listen to CPA advisors as well, but always cross reference their advise with ours for your own senity. This will help you develop strong vision of who you want to be in the future whether it's going to be CPA accountant like Ben Affleck (well maybe not like Ben Affleck) or wild marketer, CPA agency managed tutor or non agency managed tutor, CPA book author or both tutor and author (in both cases our company helps) or someone else.
 

So in summary what on earth am I saying here?
I am saying that if you are CPA expert and residing in CT, NY and NJ in 4 countines that I mentioned then dont hesitate to contact from the contact form of this page to help you get listed on our network of local tutoring sites as a CPA tutor.  
Of course you must pass your CPA exam first in order for Tutoring Services, LLC to enroll you as a local tutor, but in case if you happen to be in the process of studying for your Accounting exam, then do remember that there are incentives that are not just about getting a job in corporate company working as a CPA, but also making some part time income after your daily job. 
Hence motivate your self and study for your CPA exam with thinking about the fact that you are studying not just for your self, but you are studying because you would like to improve your qualifications and increase your chances of making part time income after finishing your full day of working at corporate job doing CPA accounting tasks.

        Tutoring Services, LLC is not just about helping students prepare for their Accounting exam by saving them money and showing them different type of study guides available on StudyGuide.net/CPA site, but its also about helping CPA subject matter experts make money.  
In fact doing tutoring field, dependent on what the demand is for a particular subject you can make more money teaching on part time basis, then working at your entire full day accounting firm, as crazy as it sounds, it is indeed true, however it is true only dependent based on supply and demand concept.   Hopefully in college you have learned about supply and demand and know what that is.   

So does that mean there is no opportunities outside of CT | NY and NJ specific 4 counties that I mentioned for CPA exam test takers?
   The answer is no, the screenshot that i showed you of earlier is a local system that was specifically created by Rome W. for 4 counties, such as Fairfieldtutor.com, WestchesterTutoring.com NewHavenTutor.com Bergen.TutoringServices.com  this local system is designed speficially to allow subject matter expert to declare their own hourly rate for how much they would like to tutor their students CPA exam, create tutoring discount packages, show off that they have credentials on file and even show off their prices based on individual subjects and grade levels along with intro videos of themselves and many other bells and whistles, maximizing opportunities for local CPAs to first of all make money tutoring not just by teaching CPA exam, but teaching other subjects that they love, for example Math or any other subjects.. 
 
In fact Facebook.com/MathTutor also happens to be site that Tutoring Services, LLC owns and advertises tutors on.  My imagination is, if you are future accountant then you must be good in math (even though surprisngly there is no formal dedicated section for Math in CPA Test like it is for example in GMAT quantitative section or any other test for that matter, that fact alone is very shocking to me, just like its shocking to me that there was no guidance in entire Accounting industry for Information Security issues related to the cloud, that are hapenning all over the world in every industry, although concept of Cyber Security and Accounting CPA profession is being finally somewhat adressed by AICPA as described here)  and most certainly can teach basic math students and make some extra income after work. 


Being outsider to CPA accounting test prep community gives me wings of being information ninja, helping me see things that other people dont really see.  This is the cool part about reading any of the info you see on this site. 
You get to see it from different perspective, and not just from someone who wants you to simply buy study guides listed on this site, as it is the case with many other review sites (within exception of a few good ones). In fact I have less interest in selling you any of the CPA study guides, and have more interest in selling you local tutor, yet I still recommend self guided approach for many students over expensive local or online tutoring something to consider especially if you are on the budget. 

Of course doing both provides the best learning effectiviness and each method has its own advantages, and it really depends on your overall learning style, but that is besides the point.  Therefore what you are getting here is independent advice, not just some guy unpacking boxes of bunch of books showing you whats inside the CPA course.  

 
So what happens if I am a college student who does like the idea of studying for the CPA exam with intent to get my accounting degree, increase my chances of getting corporate job and also get the opportunity to teach students after work or on weekends, then which tutoring opportunities exist for me in USA outside of these 4 mentioned counties if lets say i do want to become a tutor?
        Thats a good question and the answer is, we have created another site that is called www.TutoringServices.com and created combination of several blog sites specifically designed to target CPA exam test takers.   Using intercombination of these sites and even this very same site you are looking at, its possible to boost local presence in your local area wherever you are in USA, helping CPA subject matter tutors get more student leads.

       This is why we mention that when you are preparing for your CPA exam be sure to use coupons listed on this site, and record the date and when you used them and what was the number of the coupon and title of the study guide you purchased, and email this info to us after you passed your CPA exam, that is of course if you are interested in increasing your chances of making part time income tutoring students CPA exam, regardless if you are in these 4 counties mentioned above or any where else in USA for that matter.

 
We can verify whether you used our study guide coupons when preparing for your exam, and have you listed as an independent tutor on www.TutoringServices.com with the verified CPA tutor icon and story of your lessons learned when you were preparing for CPA exam, showing to the student how you did it, differntiating your self from other tutors and maximizing your chances of being contacted by other students who need help in preparing for the CPA exam.

Listing your self as a CPA tutor maximizing your chances of making money.  For additional boost in your profile we can leverage other CPA and accounting blog sites, making it more likely for Tutors to receive leads locally or online.  (for additional boosting of your profiles contact us from contact form at the bottom of this page for pricing)
 
 
So wait I am confused what CPA network did Rome Wells create?
Rome Wells created local tutoring network, national tutoring network, school rating network, study guides network and used college books network, all convienitly designed to help students in one way or another save money on education or make money. 
 
For example, let me show you how you can make some money selling books directly in your school.  Lets say you finished studying for your CPA exam and want to get rid of your book by selling it directly to another student in your school then guess what there is a place to do so, its called UsedCollegeBooks.NET
The custom API that i have created replicates your book across other search engines.  Students can also search your book on UsedCollegeBooks.net either directly or indirectly, you simply list your book in your campus and wait for someone to contact you, then you meet that student face to face directly in your campus and sell them your CPA book.  This is just one example of search engines that Rome Wells created.  Its nothing major, but it does help college students save money.  After all we all know how college can be very expensive, every little thing that Tutoring Services, LLC can do for students save money can go a long way.
 


To do that Visit UsedCollegeBooks.NET, log into your account and simply list book in your school in CPA subject or other subject, this book will automatically replicate itself across other search engines such as tutoring search engine where students search for CPA tutors.  Here is a screenshot from UsedCollegeBooks.NET

 Note, you may probably ask where is the platform itself?  Well the platform is intercombinat of different sites, that are designed specifically in a networked manner to provide resources for CPA exam test takers, tutors and variety type of individuals looking either for help in accounting exam from either local tutors, online, or from study guides.  
      The actual local tutoring platform is only open for CT | NY and NJ residents in the above mentioned counties, however used college books site is open for anyone who wants to first of all find cheap CPA books from the cheapest book stores or list book directly on campus, whatever floats your boat, related to CPA exam we got you covered.

Also in case if you actually want to check out the search engine the actual local searching engine in the 4 counties that i mentioned send us contact request from this very same page at the bottom of this site.

So you are trying to become CPA?
Great why not study with Surgent?  The first thing that comes to my mind is the word surgeon, it automatically translates in my mind as synonyms to the words such as precision, accuracy, success, ability to help people, and that is exactly what Surgent CPA does for accounting students! Although that is the first thing that comes to my mind this is not the actual reason why this test prep vendor is called Surgent, but rather because the founder of this CPA test prep program's name is named.
Here is a bit more about founder of this CPA test prep program
 
John (Jack) M. Surgent
Jack Surgent, CPA, is CEO of Surgent McCoy CPE, LLC. His company is the largest provider of tax and financial-planning seminars to CPAs in the United States.
Mr. Surgent has personally presented over 1,800 live seminars in the past 25 years and has been named Outstanding Discussion Leader by various professional organizations.
Jack has transformed his passion into helping accounting students prepare for CPA test, and infused 25 years of his leadership in the mix of this test preparation course.    Don't be fooled by the flash courses that you see on the internet, some courses that you find on the internet are all smoke and mirrors, and only rarely do you find a course that transfers passion of the founder in the brains of the students. 

That is exactly what I see in this course.  I see passion delivered from the founder and transferre into this course to help you CPA test prep takers prepare for their exam.  Passion is just like yawning... contagious.  Therefore if you study with this course, you can transfer that passion from the test prep company into your overall daily study habbit when preparing for your CPA exam. 
As the fonder of Tutoring Services, LLC, I Rome Wells, will relay what is present on CPA Surgent course on this page, be sure to check out video above, that I have included on top to get you to realize what Surgent Test Prep is all about. Note don't get side tracked when it comes to your studying with flash course materials that exist on the market.  

Some are just not the right type for you, it all depends on what type of learning style you are acustomed to, carefully look through not just Surgent info that is present here, but also other study guides, do not just take my word for it when analyzing each vendor.  
Try some of them out for FREE including Surgent that allows you to try this course for 3 days.  Don't rush into simply purchasing course, read money saving tips page on this site, read about study partners, and other methods, before making  your decision.

More info about Surgent Review

 

Top 5 Reasons to Choose Surgent CPA Review


89.7% pass rate (almost 2x the national average)  (indeed national avg is quiet low, but 89.7% rate is definitely high compare that to Yaeger too before buying your course, both Yaeger and Surgent fairly similar in pass rate)



Adaptive learning approach that can save you as much as 100 hours of study time per part (Note it's true adaptive learning approach is a bit different, compared to some vendors, note vendors have their own adaptive techinques for example Yaeger has AdaptaPASS and Surgent has the other type of adaptive learning approach which is also good, all having their own bells and whistles)  If I was a student i would try both and see which one you like the most.



Complete course access until you pass the exam (no extra charges or hidden fees) and a pass guarantee  (wow this is indeed sweet feature)



Comprehensive, up-to-date content including 350+ video lectures from engaging instructors, over 6,840 multiple-choice questions, and 295 task-based simulations (notice the word engaging.... remember passion comment that i made? well that is what engaging means, some courses are not engaging at all where you can fall asleep and others are great in offering engaging content and instructors who make it fun to study for your CPA test, for example I engage my students by literally teaching them math first then showing them how to breakdance and CPA instrucotrs working at Surgent do other type of engagement in the video, of course they don't  breakdance, but using their humor and good quality videos showing their sense of teaching expertise, they can make it easier for you to be engaged into the videos)



Free flashcard app with 2,200 terms and definitions, covering all four parts of the CPA Exam (If I was a student I would use flash cards when heading out for a long commute or during lunch breaks, this can help you to not get too stessfull and tackle your course with confidence)






 
One kewl thing about Surgent is that they provide CPA pass gurantee!
 

 
Another kewl thing is the fact that you actually study less with Adaptive Learning approach
For each section, for complete comparison of features feel free to scroll down further in this page, but the fact that avg study time is much smaller in comparision to other courses, that tells you something about overall adaptive learning technology.  It tells you that it shows you materials that you need to study, as oppose to spend time searching through the book for the right section and trying to find relevant videos.  I am sure if you are going through your CPA test prep, last thing you want to do is  watch videos where other students are interrupting the class and waisting your self study time. 
Note not every course is like that, other courses who also offer addaptive learning approach such as Yaeger, do also help students save time as well, hence be sure to try both first before signing up.  

Plus you actually get dedicated instructor support with Surgent wow!
Hmm that is indeed useful, to have, some test prep companies either ask you to refer to forums or provide limited group based support, but at the end of the day individualized attention is what student is after!  This is not different from actual tutoring, except with tutoring you get an expert who trains you and walks you through variety of CPA exam sections face to face or online.  Don't confused that with this type of dedicated support.  Support is mostly for students who, may have ocassional question here and there or found a mistake during the test taking phase, etc. 
 It's not something like you sit down and tutor teaches you in traditional settings face to face and answers your questions and shows you tricks to memorize individual sections, no it's not the same.  For highest level of learning effectiviness consider using both Surgent + Local tutor or Online for 2nd highest level of learning effectiviness.  Local tutor will always no matter what be able to provide better learning effectiviness then any self guided program, remember that.  
However the fact that Surgent does provide support for self guided CPA program and it's dedicated, this is heck of a lot better then providing forum based support. For that reason alone, if i was a student i would highly consider Surgent.

    One kewl thing Surgent does is, they provide method for you to save money on your test preparation expenses if for example you took CPA course from another provider and failed, and looking for help to revert your mistake and don't get hit so hard financially. 
 These guys at Surgent are so good that they even hook you up with whooping 50% discount of entiere course if that's the case.  Very generous of them for sure!  (note you must provide proof you took another course for more info click here)  If you only bought from other provider for example only access to specific section of the exam, such as BEC, FAR, ADU, or REG then in that case they will hook you up with 33% discount, wow!   

Still a sweet deal if you ask me.  We all make mistakes, when it comes to studying the wrong thing, don't get sinked into the whole twice, at least save money money on your course if by any  reason you managed to fail your CPA exam by studying with the wrong vendor!
