110: Yaeger CPA Review Owner: Phil Yaeger! - a podcast by Mark Goldman CPA

Phil Yaeger of Yaeger CPA Review is our guest for this episode of Life In Accounting, a podcast production of Where Accountants Go!
Changing the IndustryOne of the themes that comes out early in the interview, and then continues throughout, is that Phil definitely feels that instructors should be able to capture and hold the participant’s attention. From the observations he makes early on about his initial accounting courses, to the quality requirements he later set for his own CPA review course, you can tell that keeping the students engaged so that they can better learn the material is of high importance for Phil.
BlueprintAnother important take-away from this interview is how important the AICPA blueprint is to successfully preparing for the exam. Phil explains it much better than I can here, but suffice it to say that his feeling is that it’s not enough simply to see the blueprint, you need to have an understanding of what’s important for you to learn from that blueprint.  His CPA review course is structured such that you have both the blueprint itself, as well as an explanation of what you must be sure you learn on each part.
A Story of Business SuccessEven if you aren’t preparing to take the CPA exam, you will enjoy this episode if you enjoy hearing about success. Phil mentions it for a few moments near the end, but his four decades in the business have definitely been successful and afforded him opportunities to be involved supporting the community and to meet celebrities along the way that otherwise he would not have been able to.  He’s worked diligently to make a difference in thousands of accountants’ lives, and therefore he’s been able to enjoy some of the rewards that come with helping so many.Other episodes that you may enjoy include: Professor Mansour Farhat&How To Pass The CPA Exam
