Earn accounting CPE credits for listening to podcasts. Earmark is a free, audio-based continuing professional education app for accounting and tax professionals, including CPAs, CMAs, and EAs. HOW IT WORKS Earn CPE whenever you want, wherever you go: 1. Choose a course. Complete each learning activity at your own pace. 2. Learn by listening to podcast episodes. Listen while driving to work, working out, doing chores, etc. 3. Confirm you’ve learned the material by taking the short quiz at the end of the course. Score 75% or higher to pass. 4. Email yourself a CPE certificate. Earmark helps by keeping track of all your CPE earned through the app. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR ACCOUNTANTS ON THE MOVE When was the last time you took a free CPE course that taught you something you didn’t already know? Most CPAs these days prefer to earn CPE from live webcasts. The problem is, we end up picking courses based on what fits our schedules, not what’s most relevant to our professional development needs. With 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 certificate. EARN FREE CPE As a profession, we all benefit when knowledge is shared. That’s why Earmark offers all of our users free credits to use on courses each week. UNCHAIN FROM YOUR DESK With the rise of remote and hybrid work, we’re spending more time in front of our computers than ever before. Get out from behind your desk and learn while you listen to podcasts on our mobile app. STOP STRESSING ABOUT GETTING CPE By using our mobile app every week for free, you’ll be sure to earn enough CPE credits to make your license renewal a breeze. Say goodbye to the pain of cramming in courses at the last minute. LEARN SOMETHING NEW Let’s be honest. Most free CPE courses aren’t that great. We aim to change that with a growing library of educational, entertaining, and on-demand accounting and tax podcasts — so you can actually learn something new while you check that CPE box.
