Since the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) began naming award recipients in 2005, more than 90 percent of the winners have prepared for the exam with Becker’s CPA Exam Review.
Becker has helped more than one million candidates pass the CPA Exam by leveraging a combination of accomplished instructors, comprehensive and adaptive learning tools, and a unique array of study options designed to accommodate each candidate’s lifestyle, work schedule and preferred learning methods. For one Watt Sells Award winner, studying for the CPA Exam with Becker was extremely helpful when he decided to make a career switch to accounting after working in finance for four years.
"Because of Becker’s intimate knowledge of the CPA Exam, I spent most of my time planning ahead, staying organized and making the most of my limited time by focusing on the topics most likely to be on the exam,” said Jason Ackerman, a senior associate at Wagner, Ferber, Fine & Ackerman and a 2015 Sells Award recipient. “It was an invaluable resource led by the best instructors who kept me engaged and motivated.”
Becker’s CPA Exam Review instructors combine years of teaching experience with real-world CPA, CFA and MBA experience to help candidates prepare for the CPA Exam. With guidance from national instructors like Tim Gearty, Peter Olinto, Angie Brown and Mike Brown, candidates have the opportunity to fulfill their goals of earning their CPA license and, in turn, furthering their accounting careers.
“It is truly extraordinary that Becker has helped more than 90 percent of Watt Sells Award winners receive this prestigious award throughout the past decade,” said John Roselli, president of Becker Professional Education. “We believe it is a testament to the hard work of our candidates, but also a reflection of the quality of Becker’s course, our instructors and the dedication of our entire organization.”
