Meet Dawn
French teacher turned CPA Exam Success Coach. After teaching high school French for seven years I took my first accounting course. I wanted to be a bookkeeper. I thought that would be better than the classroom. It was suggested to me to become a CPA. I said OK without thinking through the work involved. I then completed a 15-month dual degree graduate program for career-changers in order to get all of the credits needed to sit for the CPA exam. After 15 months, I was eligible to sit for the CPA exam, but I was terrified, confused, and thought I was the only one who felt this way. It wasn’t until years later that I found my Unique Study System and finally made it to the CPA Exam finish line. I did this in a way that allowed me to successfully study for the CPA Exam while simultaneously having a full and fulfilling life. I now help struggling candidates to do the same. I help them to ditch the stress, struggle, and sacrifice and, instead, pass the CPA Exam with confidence and ease.
