Becker is best known as the largest provider of training for candidates who are preparing to sit for the United States (US) CPA Exam in order to become Certified Public Accountants.[1][2][3] Becker offers its CPA Exam Review in the form of live classes (which take place in locations throughout the US and around the world), as well as online courses.[4] Becker no longer offers their course on disc, and instead allows students to download their course for offline use.[5]
As a measure of its influence on the accounting industry, the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy estimated that as many as half of the CPAs in the United States have passed the CPA Exam with the help of Becker's course.[6] Becker is rated by Investopedia as the Best Overall CPA Review course.[7]
Originally developed in 1957 by accountant and entrepreneur Newton Becker as a training course for fellow employees of Price Waterhouse, Becker CPA Review was launched as an independent company in Cleveland in 1960. The company grew rapidly, and by the 1980s it had classroom locations in more than 90 cities.[2] Becker eventually sold the company to DeVry in 1996, partly due to changes in the industry.[6][8]
