Continuing Professional Education
As professionals, we are required to complete multiple hours of continuing professional education (CPE) in order to maintain our licenses and to be sure we are up-to-date with the many changes that occur in our profession. Public Accountants must complete at least 80 hours every two years; Enrolled Agents must complete 30 hours per year; and Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors must complete courses required by Intuit, the makers of QuickBooks.
