We consider professional development as a fundamental part of this development.

The concept of the business is to delight its members with activities and events that are relevant, convenient and cost-effective with an overall satisfying experience. We can achieve this by applying consistently high standards to the way in which we interact with members, coordinate with partners and deploy resources to deliver our educational opportunities.
Our Team
The team at My CPE understand the real-world challenges of the financial services industry, specifically those impacting individuals operating in the accounting, bookkeeping and payroll professions. The lack of accessible, affordable and quality education, particularly CPE for bookkeeping professionals and practitioners, was abundantly obvious and inspired us to create a premium online service to fill the gap. The online portal we offer is designed to deliver and manage relevant, convenient and cost-effective educational opportunities for our members. Our team are highly motivated, each with significant personal experience in accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, business and education. Everyone associated with My CPE is professional, positive and genuinely committed to making a difference in education for bookkeeping professionals and practitioners. The team at My CPE are currently updating their unique and individual profiles. Check back again soon for more information!
