· ·

PHOENIX, April 25, 2024 – Earmark, the leading platform for earning CPE and CE credits for enjoying podcasts, videos, and live streams, today announced the launch of its wholly rebuilt mobile app and new web app. The ground-up rebuild enables Earmark to provide a more seamless and efficient way for accounting professionals to earn continuing education credits anytime, anywhere.

The Earmark web app is available at earmark.app and allows accounting and tax pros to access and complete courses in their web browser, providing greater flexibility and convenience. Additionally, creators can embed courses directly on their websites, extending Earmark’s reach further. The rebuilt mobile app, available on iOS and Android, offers improved performance and user experience.

“Our rebuilt app and new web app represent a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize the way accountants earn continuing education credits,” said Blake Oliver, CPA, founder and CEO of Earmark. “By providing a more accessible, flexible, and user-friendly platform, we empower CPAs, CMAs, and EAs to take control of their professional development and earn continuing education credits on their own terms.”

To date, Earmark has served over 10,000 users, offering 1,300 courses and enabling accounting professionals to earn an impressive 65,000 CPE credits.

K.C. Eames, Director of Client Accounting Services at Dark Horse CPAs, has seen the benefits of Earmark firsthand: “At Dark Horse CPAs we decided to try the unlimited team subscription to Earmark, and it’s been a success! People love the ability to earn CPE when driving, taking walks – it just fits into our schedule. It’s also nice to get some time away from the computer and still be able to earn credits. There are tons of shows/channels, lots of relevant industry topics to choose from. And since it’s unlimited, it’s low stakes to try out episodes.”
