CPA Crossings

What CPA Crossings does

CPA Crossings (operating as CPAx) is a privately held NASBA-certified continuing professional education (CPE) provider founded in 2003 and organized as CPA Crossings, LLC in Michigan. The company delivers web-based continuing education to licensed accounting and finance professionals in the United States and Canada, distributing through partnerships with over 45 US state and Canadian provincial CPA societies, its own e-commerce storefront, and a direct enterprise sales motion to accounting firms. Its primary customer segments are individual CPAs and finance professionals, public accounting firms, CPA societies, and corporate finance leaders.

The product surface is a multi-format learning platform with five core delivery channels: live instructor-led webinars (3,000+ scheduled annually, delivered via BigMarker and WebEx with 65+ contracted subject matter experts), on-demand self-study courses (125+ unique topics / 200+ CPE credits with 24/7 access and automated certificate generation), curated Learning Paths for career tracks, virtual national conferences (AI, TaxCon, Accounting & Auditing, Insurance & Financial Institutions), and research reports including the annual CPA Firm Tech Report. Firm Solutions adds enterprise licensing with unlimited seat access, pre-paid CPE credit bundles, hosted virtual events, and co-branded research. Pricing is layered: individual webinars $55–$239, individual courses à la carte with 90-day access, on-demand unlimited subscriptions at $299/year, unlimited webinars at $649/year, and firm bundles at $299–$999 per person with volume discounts.

Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription (annual unlimited tier, Learning Paths, firm licenses), à la carte one-time purchases (individual webinars, courses, conferences, research), and channel partnership economics through CPA societies. In January 2026 the company executed a strategic collaboration with the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) to deliver combined certification and continuing education content worldwide, materially extending its distribution and topical reach.
