I'm a Taekwondo Black Belt, so it (kinda) fits with the whole NINJA theme. In 2008, I was a desperate CPA Candidate on the verge of throwing in the towel. Then I passed all four sections of the CPA Exam by the end of the year – each exam on my next attempt. I said “enough is enough” and created a new approach, which I would later dub “N.I.N.J.A.”.
NINJA CPA STUDY MATERIAL FULL
I wasn't fully committed to studying (who wants to go home and study after a full day of public accounting?), and I would try to “cram” for two weeks before my exam and was coming up short.Įverything changed, however, in February 2008. I wanted to be a CPA, but I didn't really want to be a CPA enough to study like I needed to. I began my long (too long) journey toward the CPA designation in late 2005. I'm doing all of these parenting stages all at once 🙂 Teenagers going through the “teenage years”? Absolutely. Six-year-old that spray-painted the garage floor? Yes. Three-year-old that's into everything? Check. Whatever your circumstances, I can probably identify with them. I know what it's like to study for the CPA Exam while trying to balance… Two kids under the age of 5 and a newborn baby. I passed the CPA Exam when I was 30 and had “only” three kids at home at the time: (Yes – our life is blessedly chaotic at times). (Yes – we get weird/judgmental looks in restaurants).

More importantly, I am married with 10 children. I am surrounded by an awesome team of NINJA Dan, NINJA Bobby, NINJA Blair, NINJA Andria, and everyone's favorite: NINJA Mike). (I cringe at using the word founder, however, as self-important jerks normally throw that term around. My name is Jeff Elliott, founder of another71 and NINJA CPA Review. Balancing “life” and the CPA Exam? I've been there.
