Continuing Education that moves professionals forward.
Since 1991, Western CPE has been a trusted provider of continuing professional education (CPE) for CPAs, enrolled agents, CFPs, and financial professionals nationwide. NASBA-registered, IRS-approved, and built around real-world expertise.
Creating Value & Enjoyment in Education
Western CPE began in 1991 with a simple idea: continuing education should be both valuable and enjoyable. That year, our founders organized the Whitefish Accounting Conference in partnership with the Montana Society of CPAs and the University of Montana, combining quality professional education with the opportunity to step away from the pressures of everyday work.
Today, Western CPE offers destination conferences, live webcasts, FlexCast, self-study programs, and federal tax update seminars, serving tax and financial professionals nationwide. Our courses and technology have changed considerably since 1991, but our purpose has not.
