If you’ve spent any time looking at other review courses, you know that you’re looking at footing a bill that amounts to several thousands of dollars.<\/p>

Though Yaeger CPA Review isn’t one of the most well-known CPA prep companies, as a more budget-friendly company, I thought they were worth a look.<\/p>

After all, when Becker’s biggest package runs up to $6,000, budget options are necessary!<\/p>

Today, we’re going to figure out whether Yaeger CPA is a hidden gem among CPA exam review courses or if they’re just another worthless bargain bin course.<\/p>

Let’s go!<\/p>

Yaeger CPA Review Overview<\/strong><\/h2>
\"Yaeger<\/figure>

Yaeger CPA Review began when the company’s namesake, Phil Yaeger (PhD, MBA, CPA, CGMA), took a review course to pass the CPA exam. And, while the course did its job, he was unimpressed. As a result, he created his own courses to fix the problems he saw in his experience.<\/p>

His first class of 13 students grew into a successful company, where Phil and his team now serve tens of thousands of students online, offering review courses that have high quality and affordable pricing.<\/p>

Yaeger sells their methodology as a “teaching course” in the sense that it isn’t about memorization for them. Yaeger wants candidates to study and understand the actual concepts so that they can answer questions without <\/em>just hammering MCQs and guessing.<\/p>

After all, the first purpose of having CPA candidates pass the CPA exam is to make sure they’ll find success as accountants, not test takers.<\/p>

Here’s what one successful candidate<\/a> had to say,<\/p>

“I have been struggling over the past several years to climb the mountain that is the CPA exam. I have tried a few different CPA exam prep courses and I am so glad that I finally found Yaeger CPA Review! Their courses are affordable, the videos and textbooks are engaging and understandable, and the support staff is extraordinary! I completed my first session with Yaeger studying for FAR and just found out that I finally passed! Now I am moving on to AUD with Yaeger. I can’t say enough great things about Sonny and Phil, they are both very helpful and Phil will literally give you his phone number to call with CPA questions you are struggling with. If you are a first time exam candidate or if you have been spinning you wheels for a while I would highly recommend you give Yaeger CPA Review a try.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>
