Hey, thank you for considering taking one of my courses. I am a real estate and business consultant based out of Los Angeles CA. I am the co-author of "Airbnb for Dummies", to be released May 2020. I currently help private real estate investors with their acquisitions and deal structuring and advise startup entrepreneurs on their business models and financial forecasts. Previously, I was head of marketing analytics at the Panda Restaurant Group after serving as a senior financial analyst supporting new store underwriting efforts. Before that, I was a global M&A manager for Ingram Micro, a Fortune 80 company. Prior to that, I worked on commercial real estate acquisitions at a private equity real estate fund, covering a wide range of asset classes across the western USA. I am also a cofounder of LearnBNB, a boutique consultancy and education blog specializing in the home-sharing economy. I received dual degrees in Computer Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) and Economics (Summa Cum Laude) from UC Irvine and an MBA from Stanford University.

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.
