Description

We're LumiQ - an audio-first professional education platform for CPAs.

We help CPAs get their continuing professional development (CPD) hours through engaging podcasts with business leaders (the CFOs of Slack, Shopify, Yelp, Yahoo, TD Bank, and Wealthsimple just to name a few).

CPD is the yearly required learning that CPAs generally dread doing. They're tired of dealing with boring webinars, irrelevant content and product experiences that are out-of-date. That's why they've flocked to LumiQ and our mission to make professional learning enjoyable.

With hundreds of companies signed up, we're at the precipice of launching a global movement that's going to massively change the professional education and podcasting industries.

Following our recent Series A, we've expanded into the US market and are seeing wonderful early signs of traction.

Despite our lightning growth, we tend not to subscribe to the mantra of "move fast and break things." Our goal is to build a profitable company, where our employees can learn and grow, and where customers see real value and genuinely enjoy using the product.

We are building a company meant to last, and if this resonates with you, we hope you will consider joining us on our journey to transform professional education
