Overview
LumiQ is a subscription-based podcast platform for CPAs in Canada that helps individuals and corporate teams earn verifiable CPD hours. It provides a library of business podcasts split into micro-learning chapters, with in-app verification and tracking to ensure credits meet regulatory rules.

Its Canada focus and integrated compliance workflow—including team plans—set it apart from general podcast or learning platforms, with the goal of helping CPAs meet annual CPD requirements efficiently.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Canadian firms need audit-ready, flexible CPD, matching LumiQ's micro-learning format.
- U.S. expansion leverages prior $5 million funding and existing NASBA positioning.
- CIBC Innovation Banking facilities support product development and enterprise sales expansion.
What critics are saying
- Becker, Surgent, and CPA.com already own trusted enterprise learning relationships.
- If NASBA or provincial bodies question audits, LumiQ's compliance value collapses immediately.
- Generic CPE libraries undercut pricing, making podcast-based learning look nonessential at renewal.
What makes LumiQ unique
- LumiQ turns business podcasts into NASBA-approved CPD for CPAs.
- Its mobile app combines listening, assessment, certificate generation, and CPE tracking.
- It serves both individual CPAs and accounting-firm teams with one platform.
