Dear CPA Prospect,

Many of us have heard of the US CPA (Certified Public Accountant) designation but few of us are aware that we too can be a part of this elite group having the highest accounting qualification in the US. It does take hard work to pass the CPA exams, but that effort lasts less than 1000 hours of smart study over less than 12 months and only 4 exam parts!

On clearing my under-graduation in commerce, I joined Deloitte Financial Advisory Services where I came to know of the CPA course and immediately pursued it – only 4 exam parts which I was able to clear in just 10 months!

After passing my CPA exams in 2007, I received an offer from Morgan Stanley Investment Banking division in Mumbai, India (certainly with a multi-fold hike in paycheck!). Working there with a team comprising of MBAs from top-tier institutes and Indian Chartered Accountants (which is an intensive course with 16 papers over 3 levels and taking 5+ years to achieve), I realized the value-addition the CPA course had given me. Not only did it reward me with international credentials in record time but it also enlightened me with knowledge of accounting & financial concepts which I applied on my day-to-day work. I was rated amongst the highest-performing bankers on the floor, and in just 18 months I had created my way to join the Morgan Stanley team of investment bankers in London - a dream come true for many and definitely a milestone in my career.

But I had an awakening! I had realized that accounting & commerce graduates deserve more than what they are acknowledged for, and tried to analyze whether it is credential or knowledge that is holding them back? I said both, and thereupon started my journey to create Miles, a CPA review course with concept-focused study materials, best in-class videos and CPA-qualified academic & student relations team to get to the heart of what CPA candidates really need to know to successfully clear the Uniform CPA Examinations and earn their CPA designation.

So friends, there's no more time to wait or waste, you've got Miles to be a CPA!
