You’re probably wondering why a couple millennials would quit their accounting jobs and spend their life creating Universal CPA Review, right? Well, both of the two cofounders of Universal CPA Review passed the CPA exam, we both realized that there wasn't a CPA review course that offered materials for visual learners. Most "traditional" CPA review course providers teach their material in a very text-heavy manner, which is simply not how you can retain information.  That’s why we introduced visual learning to the CPA exam! Universal CPA Review offers a cost effective self-study program that extends lifetime access to all four sections for under $1,000 as well as subscription options for as little as $99/month. Still on the fence, that's what our free 7-day trial is for!
