CPA Exam Coaching
A realistic study plan, real accountability, and a coach who’s been where you are, built around exactly where you’re stuck.
Passing the CPA Exam isn’t about studying harder. It’s about studying the right things, in the right order, with someone checking in when motivation runs out. Sara Zidal, CPA, has been through the exam herself and now coaches candidates through it, one section and one weak spot at a time.
This is for you if
- You need a realistic study plan, not a generic one-size-fits-all schedule
- You know accountability matters, but you keep losing momentum on your own
- You’ve got specific weak areas and need a real strategy for them, not just “do more MCQs”
- You want structured help with MCQ strategy and simulations, not just content review
- You’re coming back after a pause, or retaking a section, and need to rebuild momentum
What coaching includes
- A study plan built around your actual schedule and target exam date
- Regular accountability check-ins
- Targeted strategy for your specific weak areas
- MCQ and simulation approach coaching: not just knowing the material, but performing under exam conditions
- Direct support if you’re returning after a pause or retaking a section
Coaching provides study strategy, accountability, and preparation support. It does not guarantee examination results.
Pricing: Planned pricing is $150 per session, or $400 per month for ongoing coaching. Pricing is not yet published while session count and between-session accountability details are finalized.
How it works
- Initial conversation about where you are and your target date
- Study plan and strategy assessment
- Coaching plan proposal
- Sessions begin, with ongoing check-ins
Frequently Asked Questions
Which exam sections can you help with?
Coaching is available for all six current CPA Exam sections: the Core sections (AUD, FAR, REG) and the Discipline sections (BAR, ISC, TCP).
Do you work with candidates retaking a section?
Yes. Retakes and comeback-after-a-pause situations are common, and the coaching approach adjusts accordingly.
Is coaching virtual, in-person, or both?
Coaching is held virtually by video call, so scheduling is flexible and location isn't a barrier.
