In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Nike was able to go from being a Chartered Accountant in Nigeria, to becoming a CPA and CFP. She had a lot of experience in accounting from 13 years of accounting in Africa, but even that wasn't enough to guarantee passing the CPA exam first try. She tried it on her own and couldn't quite pass.

You'll hear how switching her review course and starting to use SuperfastCPA completely changed her results. She went from scheduling two exams and failing both, to passing her exams. Nike also talks a lot about motivation and getting the CPA done. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Nike has some fantastic tips and a great story, you don't want to miss this episode.
