News: FICPA partners with LumiQ to bring CPE podcasts to members
October 19, 2026
TORONTO – LumiQ, an audio-first continuing professional education (CPE) platform, today announced a partnership with the Florida Institute of CPAs (FICPA), giving Florida CPAs the ability to purchase curated podcast learning paths that count toward their required CPE. FICPA members can now purchase LumiQ's CPE podcast learning paths directly through the FICPA, with an initial set of 10 learning paths covering topics from auditing and taxation to business development and real-world business case studies.
The partnership makes the FICPA, which represents more than 20,000 members across Florida, the first state CPA society to offer its members this model of podcast-based CPE through LumiQ. It reflects the FICPA's ongoing effort to give Florida CPAs more flexible and engaging ways to meet their requirements.
Shelly Weir, President & CEO of the Florida Institute of CPAs, said, “The FICPA continues to search for solutions that both modernize CPE and uphold the standards of the profession. With podcasts having already reshaped the media and education landscape, our partnership with LumiQ will provide a new, engaging option for earning CPE that meets our members where they are.”
Each CPE podcast learning path is a curated set of episodes built around a single topic. Members access their learning paths through LumiQ's platform or mobile app, allowing them to complete their CPE from anywhere and on their own schedule. The initial set of 10 includes Audit Nightmares, which examines real-world audit failures and the lessons behind them; Business Transformation in Practice, which explores how organizations like LEGO and Kodak navigated major turning points; and Tax Foundations: Individual, Estate, and Trust, which covers the basics of individual and estate tax planning. The full list of learning paths is available on LumiQ's website.
Joel Lessem, CEO of LumiQ, said, “We're excited to bring these podcast learning paths to FICPA's members. Each one lets CPAs dive deep on a single topic, from single audits to real-world business transformation case studies, so they walk away with practical knowledge that keeps them future-ready as the profession evolves.”
FICPA members can purchase LumiQ's learning paths at ficpa.org/LumiQ.
