Thank You, Phil Yaeger
Phil Yaeger founded Yaeger CPA Review in 1977 and dedicated nearly five decades to helping CPA candidates pass the exam. His family-run business was built on a genuine passion for teaching, and Phil was one of the few course founders who gave students direct access to his personal email and phone number. That kind of personal commitment to student success is rare in this industry.
Phil regularly met with the AICPA to stay ahead of exam changes, was an early adopter of the AICPA blueprint-aligned course structure, and built a loyal community of CPA candidates who appreciated his straightforward teaching style. Thousands of CPAs owe their licenses in part to Phil and his team.
From all of us at CPA Exam Guide: thank you, Phil, for your decades of service to the accounting profession. Enjoy your well-earned retirement.
