LumiQ develops and operates a mobile podcast application designed for accounting and finance professionals to earn verified Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. The platform offers engaging, story-driven audio content featuring interviews with industry experts, providing a flexible and enjoyable alternative to traditional professional development methods. This approach allows users to fulfill their mandatory education requirements conveniently while gaining valuable insights from business leaders.
LumiQ was founded in 2019 by Michael Kravshik and Adam Bercovici. The co-founders identified a market need for a more dynamic and accessible method of professional learning, recognizing that existing CPE offerings often lacked engagement. Their insight was to leverage the widespread appeal and convenience of podcasts to transform the typically mundane process of earning credits into an enriching educational experience.
The company primarily serves Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and other finance professionals, both individually and within firms, who seek efficient and enjoyable ways to maintain their certifications. LumiQ's overarching vision is to set a new standard for professional education by making continuous learning an intrinsically rewarding and integral part of a professional's career journey, ultimately enhancing expertise across the financial industry.
