Earmark CPE
Earn CPE Anytime, Anywhere
There’s a new channel on Earmark CPE!
Don’t miss this episode of Yuri Kapilovich, CPA‘s podcast, “Capital Contribution,” which features an interview with accounting M&A and consulting expert Allan Koltin.
And you can earn free CPE for listening with the Earmark CPE app!
I’m excited to share the newest features and updates we’ve been working on to make the CPE experience easier and more intuitive. From sticky search filters that make it easier to find what you’re looking for, to the introduction of the Federal Tax Updates Podcast and ACPEN channels, there’s something for everyone. Keep reading to learn more about what’s new in Earmark CPE for February.
If you find an error in one of our review or quiz questions, you can now report it for us to fix. Simply click the “flag” icon in the upper right corner of the question, provide your feedback, and click submit. We’ll receive an email with the question and your feedback.
When you view a course and then return to the course listing, you will now stay in the same place. Previously, you would be taken back to the top of the screen, and you had to scroll all the way back down. This annoyance is now a thing of the past.
If you filter by Licensing Body for IRS CE on the Courses screen, that filter will remain when you leave and return. We hope this makes the app more useful for our members who are Enrolled Agents and only want to see courses that qualify for continuing education credits with the Internal Revenue Service.

In addition to individual members being able to earn CPE credit for self-study, the Earmark CPE mobile app now allows firms to subscribe and offer unlimited mobile CPE to their CPAs, CMAs, and EAs. This makes it easy for firms to provide continuing education that meets the requirements of both state accountancy boards as well as the Internal Revenue Service.
In addition to offering CPE to CPAs and CMAs, Earmark is now able to offer continuing education (CE) credits to Enrolled Agents for courses focused on federal tax topics. This expansion of service means that Earmark can now provide continuing education to the entire accounting profession.
“Continuing education is important for all professionals, but it can be especially challenging for busy accounting professionals to find the time to take courses,” said Oliver. “Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for accounting professionals to earn the CPE credits they need to stay compliant and up-to-date on the latest changes in the profession.”
