VIDEO RECAPS ARE HERE Every Intro lesson is getting a short recap video that walks through the whole lesson again out loud, with the numbers drawn on screen as they are explained. The first eleven are live now, from Classifying Accounts through Ringing Up the Sale, with more arriving as they are finished. Look for the player inside each lesson. INTRODUCING THE CAREER EXPLORER Tell the app where you are today and where you want to end up, and see every step in between. CPA, CMA, Enrolled Agent, Internal Auditor, bookkeeper or financial manager. Each path lays out the degree, the exam, the experience and the license, in the order you actually do them. It also shows what the work pays. Enter your zip code and the figures switch from national to your own state, taken from the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics survey. You see the full spread, not a single number, because the bottom and the top of a profession are further apart than most people expect. California learners get one more thing: the new state CPA rules taking effect in 2027 are already built in, including the route that removes the fifth year requirement and the community college certificate that counts toward experience. The Career Explorer is free to everyone, on every track. Find it in the Reference tab.
