My name is Tawfic Siiba. I was born and raised in Ghana, a country located in West Africa and south of the Sahara Desert. Ghana shares a common boundary with Burkina Faso to the north, La Cote D’loire to the west, Togo to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

Pawel Makuch wasn't sure which CPA review course to go with until he found the many testimonials students left about Roger CPA Review. See what his favorite aspect of our course was and how passing the CPA Exam has changed his career! 

I chose to get my degree in accounting in order to ensure a better life for both me and my son. At the time, I was working full-time to support us and not feeling like I was going anywhere. With the support of my then-boyfriend (now husband), I decided to return to school and get my bachelor's degree.

Since I worked full-time and had to be home to take my son to/from school and sports, I was not able to participate in any extracurricular activities at the school. I graduated in May of 2017 and my daughter was born in August. Getting my CPA license has always been in my plans, but I have not been able to start studying for it due to the cost of review courses. The Roger CPA Review Scholarship has allowed me to pursue my career goals and make my family proud.

Is it possible to balance time spent studying for the CPA Exam with an actual social life? Kristin Lynes, Chief Operating Officer at Roger CPA Review, believes it’s plausible as long as you set the correct expectations with your support system.
