About Kesler CPA Review
Kesler CPA Review is a complete CPA review course that combines lesson materials, practice, and study support for CPA exam candidates.
You can use the full course on its own or supplement another CPA review course with the Kesler study formats that fit your needs. Founded by Bryan Kesler, the course brings subject instruction together with a practical process for planning, practice, and review.
What Kesler does
Teaching, practice, and a process for review
The course connects learning a topic with applying it. Each part has a specific job in your study session.
Learn the topic
The Textbook, Study Notes, Bite-Sized Video Lessons, and Audio Notes provide ways to read, watch, and listen to course instruction. Use a lesson to build your understanding before testing it in practice.
Explore the complete courseApply and explain
Work multiple-choice questions (MCQs), task-based simulations (TBSs), and flashcards. Each MCQ has a question-specific Learn N GO MCQ Explanation so you can review the reasoning behind the answer.
See practice and explanationsPlan the next step
Self-Study Mentorship teaches the study process. Focus Notes give you a to-do list of concepts and questions to research, while Kesler Community access and Expert Email Support are included with paid memberships.
Explore Self-Study MentorshipWhat shapes the Kesler approach
The lesson and the missed question need different explanations
Two video formats, two jobs
Bite-Sized Video Lessons teach the topic from the Study Notes. Learn N GO MCQ Explanations work through the individual question you just attempted. You can revisit the broader concept or focus on the reasoning that broke down.
Your practice informs your review
ReadySignal uses mapped MCQ accuracy, your confidence selections, quiz history, and topic coverage to prioritize what to study next. It needs sufficient mapped study activity and honest confidence inputs; it does not predict your CPA exam score.
Who Kesler is for
Choose the format that fits your study day
Kesler may fit when you want to...
- Use a complete course for self-directed CPA exam preparation.
- Switch between reading, short video lessons, and audio review.
- Follow a missed question with an explanation of that specific question.

Check these preferences before buying
If you learn best in scheduled live classes or through long classroom lectures, compare those formats before choosing. Kesler's mobile experience is a web app, not a native iOS or Android app.
Already own a course? Identify what is missing from your study sessions before paying for overlapping materials. Expert Email Support does not mean scheduled live tutoring or a dedicated one-to-one coach.
Buying for a group? See the separate options for accounting firms and university programs.

A study session with a clear next step
For example, start with a topic you need to understand, then use your practice to decide what deserves another look.
Build the concept
Read the Study Notes and use the Textbook or a Bite-Sized Video Lesson to work through a rule or calculation.
Try it yourself
Answer related practice questions before looking at the explanation. Record your confidence honestly, including correct answers you guessed.
Explain the gap
Use the Learn N GO MCQ Explanation to examine the reasoning. Write unresolved concepts in Focus Notes as items to research and complete.
Return and apply
Revisit weak areas and try fresh practice. Use task-based simulations and mock exams to rehearse multi-step application and timing.
For a concept follow-up, Ask Kes provides AI explanation help. To check recorded preparation targets, explore Big Day Ready. Both are study tools, separate from human email support.
You can use this same check with any course: after reviewing an explanation, can you explain the reasoning and apply it to a fresh question?
