Interesting ask from my CFO. He's tired of doing business with liberal companies supported by the WEF and G. Soros, so he asked me to find an alternative to FMN SmartPros for our CPE courses.

Anyone have a lead on a conservative company that offers CPE courses for CPAs? We have a sizable accounting department, and would need the content to be sufficient to offer one (preferably two) new two hour courses each month which are available to take online. We'd like to have a library of 40 to 50 courses available as well, so essentially two to three years worth of courses in the library.

Might not be exactly what OP is looking for, but the website below is the best option I've found for knocking out the CPE requirement. Mostly consists of webcasts from Big 4 and middle-market firms.

Save your CFO the expense (albeit minor) and make yourself look good in the process.

Edit to add: these cover a whole host of topics. I can almost guarantee you can find enough that fit the build.

We recently switched to gartner recently and it's been fine

Edit to add I know nothing of their politics

Not sure there are any "conservative" CPE providers, those companies are happy to take your money regardless of your political leanings.

I use CPE Depot for my filler hours FWIW.

I get most of my hours from Big 4 webcasts. If you are a member of TXCPA they have a webcast every quarter and the Ethics course.

CPE Depot, but they make me confirm my preferred pronouns before every course.

I know nothing of their political leanings either, but put me down as #3 for CPE Depot. My team has been using them the last few years. We just use the on demand stuff to knock out our hours.

Just shared this with my team. Great find. Thanks for posting!

Linkedin learning NASBA course work as well

No idea of their political leanings, but we use Checkpoint Learning. We also just signed up for LumiQ which has been kind of a cool podcast option. That said, they are based in Toronto I think so probably lefties

Anytime. Discovered it a few months ago from a new co-worker...wish I had known about it sooner!

Subscribe to the big 4 emails/newsletters and you get notification for all the free cpe webcasts you need.

cpaacademy.org is another one that has some free CPE courses. No clue how they lean politically.

Another vote for cpa academy and the big 4 courses. All big4 are free, most cpa academy are free.
