LumiQ

CPD-focused CPA podcast platform

Overview

LumiQ is a subscription-based podcast platform for CPAs in Canada that helps individual CPAs and corporate teams earn verifiable CPD hours. It offers a library of business-focused podcasts broken into micro-learning chapters, with in-app verification and tracking to ensure credits meet regulatory rules. LumiQ differentiates itself by targeting Canadian CPAs with verifiable CPD credits and an integrated compliance workflow for both individuals and teams, rather than a general podcast or learning platform. Its goal is to help CPAs meet annual CPD requirements efficiently through auditable, Canada-focused content.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • FICPA partnership opened direct access to Florida's 20,000-member CPA audience in October 2026.
  • LumiQ's 1,200-plus episodes and learning paths create a growing content moat.
  • Mobile-first CPE fits busy accountants and corporate teams needing compliant, on-demand credits.

What critics are saying

  • Earmark matches podcast CPE and directly pressures LumiQ pricing and distribution.
  • October 2026 10% first-year discount signals customer acquisition pressure and weaker pricing power.
  • If NASBA or state boards tighten podcast-credit rules, LumiQ's core product breaks.

What makes LumiQ unique

  • NASBA-registered QAS Self Study sponsor with 1,200-plus structured podcast episodes.
  • First state CPA society partnership with FICPA, reaching 20,000 Florida CPAs.
  • In-house produced learning paths embed quizzes, assessments, and certificates inside mobile podcast consumption.

LumiQ partners with FICPA to offer podcast-based CPE to Florida's 20,000 CPAs

LumiQ, an audio-first continuing professional education (CPE) platform, has partnered with the Florida Institute of CPAs (FICPA) to let Florida CPAs earn required CPE credit through podcasts. Members can buy the learning paths directly through FICPA.org. The initial set has 10 learning paths, covering topics from auditing and taxation to business development and real-world case studies. Each path is a curated set of episodes on a single topic, available through LumiQ's platform or mobile app. FICPA, which represents more than 20,000 members, is the first state CPA society to offer podcast-based CPE through LumiQ. "Our partnership with LumiQ will provide a new, engaging option for earning CPE that meets our members where they are," said Shelly Weir, president and chief executive officer of FICPA.
