About This Course

This course cuts through the noise of Canada's business credit card market to help CPAs make one deliberate decision that pays off every year. Through a ranked comparison of eight major Canadian business cards, students learn how to match the right card to their practice's spending profile — and how to turn everyday professional expenses like software subscriptions, insurance renewals, and CPD registrations into real financial return. Topics include points vs. cashback, welcome bonus strategy, premium card math, and two-card combinations that outperform any single card on the market.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the annual cost of using a default business card and calculate the rewards gap on a typical CPA practice budget

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
