In this episode, the Huddle Guys talk with Blake Oliver, CPA, creator of Earmark CPE which creates opportunities to earn CPE credits by listening to podcasts. Blake is a graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in music. After college, Blake became a bookkeeper, which sparked his interest in accounting. When he decided to pivot and become a CPA, Blake learned first-hand the difficulties that many face to attain the 150 college credits needed to become a CPA, which includes having to take non-accounting related classes. Listen as Blake challenges the 150 hours norm, and shares how his start up provides another avenue for licensed CPAs to earn CPE credits.
For all aspiring CPAs, please check with the Society of CPAs in your state for licensing requirements, and continue to utilize this podcast as a resource. It’s time to Huddle Up!
