The app allows professionals to earn CPE credits on their smartphones wherever they are, whenever they want. “On the weekends when I’m mowing the yard, that’s when I’m getting my CPE through Earmark,” said David Cieslak, CPA, Chief Cloud Officer and EVP with RKL eSolutions.

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.”

Announcing the Launch of Earmark Media

Summary

– Traditional accounting media misses the mark because it lacks variety.
– Our mission is to increase the accounting industry’s quality, diversity, and convenience of educational and entertaining content.
– That’s why we’re launching Earmark Media! 🚀 To learn more about our services for accountants, firms, and apps, visit earmark.me.

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 😉)

Here are examples of how Earmark Media can help you make your mark:
