For my FAs who are also CPAs (or anyone who knows I guess 😊) - do you know if there is a way to simultaneously get your CPE for the CPA while also preparing for the CFP? Continued in comments...

I'm a CFP that recently bought a tax firm and have considered getting CPA. Right now too busy to pursue, but there does not seem to be any training or CE overlap that I have seen in either direction.

The tax classes for CFP don’t count for CPA CE; income taxation, estate planning, nothing? I got a ton of industry CE along the way of getting my CFP done.

Leave your info, I'll contact any way you want.

Only a year in and had previously decided I wouldn’t pursue the CFP until my business was self sustaining in a few years. But figured if I can kill two birds with one stone by completing required CPE while also preparing for more letters behind my name, I like the sound of that..I already have 3 years of industry experience so that’s not a concern.

Thank you both. Unfortunate there appears to be no overlap 😔

Also - packerland. Would be interested in hearing how the CPA firm purchase is going and integrating into your financial practice. Let me know if you’d be willing to chat outside of FB

Thanks!

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
