CPA Crossings Streamlines CPE Tracking and Compliance with CPAx Academy

Live, virtual, and on-demand courses on new guided learning platform solves CPE compliance challenges

ROCHESTER, Mich., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CPA Crossings (CPAx), a trusted and leading provider of continuing education to accounting and finance professionals, is proud to announce the launch of CPAx Academy, a new structured professional development platform. This initiative goes beyond traditional one-off Continuing Professional Education (CPE) offerings by introducing innovative features such as AI assistance in building individual customized learning plans and fully automated state-by-state compliance tracking. 

Manual tracking methods such as spreadsheets are a heavy administrative burden and can carry error rates of 1% to 6% per entry. CPAx Academy replaces that cumbersome approach with centralized, real-time visibility into every team member's CPE progress.

"CPE compliance is essential to the professional continuity of accounting firms and individuals, and CPAx Academy is designed to make tracking and pursuing continuing education easier than ever," said CPA Crossings CEO Rob Wilker. "Firms will no longer need to waste valuable time tracking down certificates and wonder if their team members are compliant. Each learner's path can be customized to their individual needs and interests, covering everything from technical accounting topics to AI and leadership skills, and the team's progress is conveniently tracked in one centralized place. This new technology changes the game for accounting CPE moving forward."

In addition, rather than selecting individual webinars one at a time, learners using CPAx Academy can choose a guided curriculum designed around a specific competency or career objectives, accelerating their competitive position in the market. The cutting-edge software provides learners with the unique ability to incorporate live content such as conferences and webinars into their professional learning journeys. Courses on vital topics such as ways to harness AI in accounting are designed to equip accounting professionals to remain highly competitive in a rapidly changing landscape.

The platform also bundles multiple CPE courses into curated Learning Paths focused on developing expertise in specific practice areas, technologies, or leadership skills. Each path combines multiple expert-led courses, which can be completed on a flexible schedule at each learner's own pace. Learning Paths span technical, strategic, and interpersonal skills, including AI and soft skills that are often left out of traditional CPE. Subjects include:

• AI-Powered Accounting
• CPA to CFO Leadership
• Technology & Innovation
• Financial Strategy & Analysis
• Strategic Growth & Personal Development
• Staff Accountant Core Foundations

All courses meet NASBA requirements and state board regulations for CPE credits. CPAx's extensive library includes hundreds of CPE courses covering audit, tax, ethics, and technology.
