CPA Talent is Different
Yes, you can find other trainings and advice that cover similar topics, but a CPA Talent course is unique because it's built and taught by real accountants who actually hire accounting teams and apply for the same jobs you do.
In other words, we aren't journalists or "researchers." We're in-the-trenches doers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn something is to roll up your sleeves and get your hands a little dirty. If that sounds appealing, then welcome! You've found your home.
