Need CPE/CPD? Continuing professional education for accountants on the move...

Get points for Continuing Professional Education /Development by listening to the Accounting Influencers Podcast. Earmark CPE is the exclusive CPE/CPD partner for the podcast. The partnership is NASBA-approved meaning accreditation and certification counts in most countries. NASBA stands for National Association of State Boards of Accountancy. Download the Earmark CPE mobile app here https://earmarkcpe.com

Here's how it works:

① SELECT A COURSE. Download the mobile app, search for Accounting Influencers and start a course. Complete each learning activity at your own pace.

② LISTEN TO AUDIO. Learn by listening to podcast episodes. Listen when you’re driving to work, working out, or doing chores.

④ GET YOUR CPE. Click 'Email CPE' and your CPE certificate arrives via email in your inbox. Earmark helps by keeping track of all your CPE earned through the app.

When was the last time you took a free CPE/CPD course that taught you something you didn’t already know? Most accountants and CPAs these days prefer to earn CPE from live webcasts, webinars or formal training. The problem is, you end up picking courses based on what fits your schedules, not what’s most relevant to your professional development needs.

With the Accounting Influencers Podcast partner Earmark CPE, you can earn credits whenever you want, wherever you go. Multitask and be more productive while listening to accounting and tax podcasts. When you’re done listening, complete the handful of quiz questions to access your CPE/CPD certificate.

UNCHAIN FROM YOUR DESK AND BE MORE PRODUCTIVE

With the rise of remote and hybrid work, you’re spending more time in front of your computer than ever before. So get out from behind your desk and learn while you listen to podcasts on the Earmark CPE mobile app for Android and iOS.

STOP STRESSING ABOUT EARNING ENOUGH CREDITS

By using the Earmark mobile app every week for free, you’ll be sure to earn enough CPE credits to make your license renewal/CPD accreditation a breeze. Say goodbye to the pain of cramming in courses/training at the last minute.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW FROM FREE CPE/CPD FOR ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONALS

Let’s be honest. Most free CPE/CPD courses aren’t that great. The Accounting Influencers Podcast contributes to a growing library of educational, entertaining and on-demand accounting and tax podcasts. As a result, you can actually learn something new while you check that CPE/CPD box.
