To say that I struggled with the CPA exam is an understatement. After I passed, I realized this is the work I was meant to do.
The work I do now as a CPA exam instructor & coach is to help future CPAs avoid the mistakes I made for 1,373 days while taking 13 exams.
Winston CPA Exam Review exists out of a need to offer CPA candidates a different way to study. This CPA exam review course goes beyond course materials by providing access to CPAs to offer guidance, support for all CPA exam sections, and real-world accounting experiences. Most importantly, I've been where you are, so I get it.

Embrace your CPA Exam Journey,
Transform Your Career
The CPA exam is more than a test. It’s a pivotal moment in your career - a moment that will challenge you, frustrate you, and, ultimately, transform you. It’s a test of your knowledge, but more importantly, it’s a test of your grit, your resilience, and your determination. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and unsure of where to turn next. And I know how powerful it can feel when you take control of that fear and turn it into focus.
​
This journey is about more than just passing the exam. It’s about becoming the person who doesn’t give up in the face of challenges. It’s about developing the resilience and confidence to move forward, not just through the exam, but through life. Because the grit and determination you build now will serve you long after the exam is over and will fuel your career transformation.
