"It took me a year to pass FAR because I spent the 1st 6 months not using Kesler. After finding Kesler, I never watched lectures again. I have passed all 4 parts of the CPA Exam!"
— Julie P.
Passed all 4 CPA exam sections
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
WITH EVERY PLAN
Monthly and Unlimited include the same course content and tools. The difference is how you pay and how long you keep access.
8,000+ LEARN N GO WHITEBOARD EXPLAINER VIDEOS
Every multiple-choice question in the Kesler test bank is paired with a Learn N GO lecture. Instead of stopping at “the answer is C,” the explanation draws out the rule, walks through the calculation or classification, addresses the wrong-answer traps, and ends with an exam-day takeaway. Learn N GO appears after practice; it is distinct from the 913 Bite-Sized Lectures available inside supported lessons.
This format is useful when you prefer to see a problem worked through instead of relying on a dense paragraph alone. The lesson workspace also lets you choose study notes, Bite-Sized Lectures, Audio Notes, or the textbook based on the concept in front of you.
STEP-BY-STEP CPA MENTORSHIP
Most CPA courses teach you the accounting content. Kesler also teaches you how to pass — how to build a realistic study plan around your life, how to sequence sections strategically, how to diagnose a 74 and come back stronger, and how to recover from a failed section without losing momentum. Built around the same system Bryan Kesler used to serve as the official mentorship partner for Roger CPA Review, Wiley CPAexcel, Gleim, and Yaeger from 2019 to 2022.
GAMIFIED PRACTICE SYSTEM
XP for every question answered, 50+ achievement badges, daily streaks with XP multipliers (up to 5x at 30 days), and a 25-level progression system. The CPA Exam Arcade includes study-break games like "CPA Exam Survival" that disguise additional practice as entertainment — useful when you're fatigued late at night but still want to stay productive.
MOBILE APPS + PRIVATE COMMUNITY
Full-featured Progressive Web Apps for iOS, Android, and desktop. Progress, XP, streaks, and flashcards sync across devices. The private study group gives you access to other Kesler candidates working toward the same sections, plus the Kesler team for expert support.
WHICH PLAN SHOULD YOU PICK?
The content is identical across both plans. The decision is about how you prefer to pay and how long you expect your CPA journey to take.
PICK THE MONTHLY PLAN IF…
- ✓ You're planning to sit for 1-2 sections and expect to be done within 3-6 months.
- ✓ You're already using Becker, UWorld, Gleim, or Surgent and want to test Kesler as a supplement before fully committing.
- ✓ You prefer smaller monthly commitments with the option to pause between sections without paying during breaks.
- ✓ Your progress, XP, and saved content carry over if you later upgrade to Unlimited.
PICK UNLIMITED ACCESS IF…
- ✓ You're planning to take all four CPA exam sections (3 Core + 1 Discipline) and expect the journey to take 6-12+ months.
- ✓ You've failed a section before or you're coming back after a long gap. You don't want pressure to finish quickly.
- ✓ You prefer one payment and no subscription to manage. If a payment provider is offered at checkout, review its current eligibility, schedule, and terms before selecting it.
- ✓ Math check: at $77/month, Monthly costs more than Unlimited after 9 months ($697 ÷ $77 ≈ 9).

HOW KESLER PRICING COMPARES
TO OTHER CPA REVIEW COURSES
Most full-service CPA review courses sit between $2,000 and $4,000. Kesler is positioned differently: a mentorship-first course priced to be accessible, designed to work on its own or alongside whatever else you're using.
According to independent sources, CPA exam review courses cost an average of $1,000 to $4,000, with full-service courses from major providers typically falling between $2,000 and $3,500. UWorld's 2026 CPA Exam Cost guide reports a $1,000 to $4,000 range for review courses. Becker's 2026 exam cost breakdown cites a similar range.
Kesler combines 913 Bite-Sized Lectures with 85+ hours of lecture time, 210 study notes, 210 Audio Notes, 8,000+ Learn N GO lectures, active practice, evidence-based review tools, and structured mentorship. The trade-off is choice: you decide whether a topic needs a concise lesson explanation, textbook depth, audio reinforcement, question practice, or targeted review instead of completing every format as a checklist.
Note: Competitor prices change frequently and vary by package tier. For the most current comparison, see the 2026 Best CPA Review Courses comparison on CPA Exam Guide.

CANCELING A MONTHLY PLAN
Log into your Kesler account and cancel from the billing settings, or email support. No cancellation fee. No long-term contract. You keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
Unlimited Access lifecycle: Accounts on the Unlimited Access plan auto-deactivate after 12 months of continuous membership and are reactivated with a current Notice to Schedule (NTS) from your state board. This keeps long-running accounts clean — it does not shorten your access if you're actively preparing for the exam. See full access-policy details.
FROM CANDIDATES WHO MADE THE SAME DECISION
"After 8 attempts, I passed FAR with a 79! I went heavy on the Kesler side this time. Constantly reviewing custom flashcards, reviewing each question's gem, and circling back to Becker for more MCQs. Stick to Bryan's studying method. It WORKS!"
Bryce W.
Passed FAR with 79 after 8 attempts
"I passed FAR with an 84! I've been taking this exam for 5 years and tested for FAR at least 13 times. It wasn't until I used your study methods that I got the score. I'm honestly in shock! Thank you!"
Emma Jean
Passed FAR with 84 after 5 years
"I believe I passed because of the mentorship video, the Kesler textbook not reading like an academic textbook, and the CPA Exam Survival game that tricked me into answering testbank questions when I was tired late at night."
Steven
Passed FAR using mentorship + gamification
