FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ATLANTA, GEORGIA October 28, 2022 — Allinial Global, the world’s second largest accounting association, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with LumiQ, a native podcast platform where engaging conversations with business leaders count as verified CPE for CPAs. This partnership will help Allinial Global members modernize their learning and development tool kits and allow staff across member firms to learn while they’re commuting, at the gym, or folding laundry.
“Learning & Development is an important area of focus for us, so we’re very pleased to partner with LumiQ,” said Mark Koziel, President and CEO of Allinial Global. “Their innovative approach to CPE allows us to provide a better user experience for members and help firms equip their people with essential skill sets for the future,” said Mark Koziel, President and CEO of Allinial Global.
LumiQ features the business world’s best minds sharing their experiences and expertise on topics they know inside and out. Trusted by tens of thousands of CPAs across North America, LumiQ has redefined the CPE landscape with a new approach that turns earning CPE into something CPAs actually enjoy doing. LumiQ’s podcast guests include the CFOs of Yahoo!, Yelp, and Slack, the first female admiral of the US Navy, the inventor of Amazon Alexa, and hundreds more.
“Before building LumiQ, we’d hear stories of CPAs turning on webinars and clicking randomly to make sure they got credit while tacitly paying attention. Based on our research, 94% of CPAs view CPE as compliance, not learning,” said Adam Bercovici, Chief Revenue Officer and CoFounder of LumiQ. “But when you ask those same people, ‘Do you want to learn and grow in your career?’ They all say yes! They just don’t view it within the confines of CPE. That’s what LumiQ has changed. CPAs now look forward to learning and feeding their curiosity to become better business advisors for their clients. We are so thrilled to partner with Allinial Global to bring LumiQ to their member firms. Their group was one of the first to acknowledge the impact we were making on the future of the profession, and they have been champions of advancing L&D for their staff since the very beginning,” continued Bercovici.
