The Earmark CPE app is a great way for busy professionals to earn continuing professional education credits on the go — and we can see it in the numbers!

I’m thrilled to share that our 3,335 members have used the app to earn over 10,000 CPE credits.

How have we grown so quickly? Our members love being able to earn CPE credits wherever they are, whenever they want. David Cieslak, CPA, says, “On the weekends when I’m mowing the yard, that’s when I’m getting my CPE through Earmark.”

Continuing education is important for all professionals, but it can be especially challenging for busy accountants to find the time to take courses. 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.

When Blake Oliver, CPA, and I met in May 2016, we said, “we should do a podcast together.” Two years later, we started the Cloud Accounting Podcast which has grown to become the most popular accounting podcast in the world.

During the week, Blake and I were both working at fast-growing startups. We each had our side hustles. Then we would get together on the weekend to record our podcast.

Over the years, we realized we were trying to solve the same problem.

The problem is that traditional accounting media misses the mark.

• It misses the mark for apps that spend lots of money advertising but don’t reach their target audience.
• It misses the mark for firms that can’t afford to pay to play.
• It misses the mark for accountants because it doesn’t focus enough on their specific interests.

In essence, it misses the mark because it lacks variety.

That’s why today we are launching Earmark Media.  🚀

Our mission at Earmark Media is to increase the accounting industry’s quality, variety, diversity, and convenience of educational and entertaining content.

We’ll accomplish our mission by offering a wide range of accounting media production and marketing services for apps, firms, and individuals that are looking to make their mark (see what I did there 😉)
