CPE Courses for CPAs in Private Accounting
Hello CPAs working in private Accounting! I’m curious to know which CPE courses you’ve found to be genuinely beneficial. I tried MasterCPE, but it felt a bit too broad for my needs. On the other hand, Surgent seems to focus more on Audit and tax topics. What are your recommendations?
