MYCPE ONE

Introduction

Keeping a team of accountants and finance professionals compliant is a year-round job. Licenses need to stay active. Hours need to be tracked. Deadlines need to be met, and every state has its own rules.

That’s where the right subscription makes a real difference. If you’re weighing our Compliance plan against Compliance Plus, this guide breaks down exactly what you get, what you pay, and which plan fits your team best.

Both plans are billed per user, per year, and include a 30-day free trial. Let’s dig in.

Why CPE Compliance Deserves a Closer Look

Remember, if you only choose compliance, why does this matter so much?

Rules vary widely by state. The AICPA and NASBA publish the shared standards, but your state board has the final say on what counts.

  • Total hours differ. Many states require 120 hours over a rolling three-year period. Others use an 80-hour, two-year model. Some, like Arkansas, let CPAs choose between 40 hours in one year or 120 hours over three.
  • Annual minimums apply in many states. For example, Texas, Ohio, and Minnesota use a 20-hour yearly minimum within the three-year cycle.
  • Ethics hours are common, but the details vary. Required ethics hours typically range from three to eight per period. Some states, such as Texas, also require the ethics course to come from a board-approved provider.
  • Reporting periods are not uniform. Some states use biennial cycles tied to license renewal, while others use fixed three-year windows.
  • Record-keeping matters. Many states expect you to keep CPE records for at least five years, in case of an audit.

Now imagine tracking all of that across a team, possibly spread over several states. A single missed requirement can delay a license renewal. That’s the problem both plans solve.

What’s Included in Both Plans

Whether you choose Compliance or Compliance Plus, you get the same core toolkit.

Compliance for All 50 States and 100+ Qualifications

That means your team isn’t left to figure things out alone, whether it’s moving your existing records over or answering a question about a state rule.

Add-on: What is Compliance with Plus Plan?

Here’s where the two plans part ways. For an extra $30 per user per year, Compliance Plus adds two major feature sets: a complete learning and management system and CPE-approved events.

1. Learning Management System (LMS)

A centralised system with a dedicated dashboard for each team member, with a master dashboard to assign, deliver, and track learning for your team. No spreadsheets anymore. With email reminders, managers can see who has completed what and who still has hours to go. The Compliance Plus LMS includes:

2. Managing your team

  • User management, smart groups, and user grouping
  • Role-based access control, so people only see what they should
  • Bulk upload and update for fast changes across many users
  • Designation-based user management and reporting
  • Data migration in under 24 hours

3. Delivering and tracking learning

  • Assign, track, and manage team learning in one place.
  • Create and upload in-house courses.
  • Host in-house live events, with Zoom integration
  • Support for all learning formats
  • Centralised learning hub and smart learning dashboard
  • Mobile app for iOS and Android
  • Instant certificates and credit reporting

4. Reporting and approvals

  • Reporting and analytics dashboard
  • Feedback collection and insights
  • 25+ regulatory board approvals, which support getting in-house sessions CPE-approved

5. This is especially useful when:

  • You manage a growing team with different requirements for each person.
  • You want to build and deliver your own internal training.
  • You need clear records ready for audits or internal reviews.
  • Your team works across devices and locations.

6. CPE Approved Events

Get the tools to run CPE-approved events, whether you attend them or host them. These events qualify for continuing education credit, which helps professionals earn hours while staying current in their field. The feature set includes:

  • Flexible formats: Online, in-person, and hybrid CPE events
  • Event management: Centralised event management and automated invitations and RSVP.
  • Check-in and attendance: QR code check-in for in-person and hybrid events, plus attendance tracking for on-site and online sessions
  • Engagement tools: Live chat and Q&A, plus polling
  • Credit and certification: CPE compliance and certification handled as part of the event
  • Insights: Detailed reports and analytics

It’s a strong fit for firms that run internal training sessions and want them to count toward CPE, rather than just collecting hours before a deadline.

Which Plan Is Right for Your Team?

The best choice depends on how your team works and how much structure you need.

Choose Compliance If:

  • Your main goal is staying compliant across states and qualifications.
  • You already have a way to deliver and track training.
  • You want predictable, low-cost coverage for each team member.
  • Your team is small, and managing learning doesn’t take much effort.

Compliance is a lean, cost-effective option. You get full compliance coverage, integrations, and unlimited support at $69 per user per year.

2. Managing your team:

  • You want one place to assign, deliver, and track team learning.
  • Your managers spend too much time chasing hours and certificates.
  • You want your team to have access to CPE-approved events.
  • Your team is growing, and manual tracking is getting harder.

Compliance Plus makes more sense when learning management becomes part of the job. At $99 per user per year, it adds a structure that can save time for both managers and staff.

Compliance plans meet when your team needs to meet the requirements. But when it comes to learning and upskilling, neither plan fits the role.

Why Switch to a Regular CPE instead of a Compliance Plan.

If your team needs a deep library of CPE content or hands-on training programs, you’ll want to plan those separately or reach out to our team to discuss your options. To set the right expectations, here are the features that aren’t part of either the Compliance or Compliance Plus plan:

  • 15,000+ hours of CPE content
  • AI learning assistance
  • AI course authoring
  • CPE-approved academies
  • Pre-built assessments
  • Team surveys
  • 100+ practical training programs
  • Managed learning and development

Conclusion

Ask yourself just one simple question: “How are we tracking and delivering learning today?” If spreadsheets, email reminders, and constant follow-ups are your answer, Compliance Plus is a good deal that saves admin time. But if your existing process runs smoothly, the simple Compliance Plan may be all you need.

Map your team's requirements before the deadline, set firm-specific requirements, and take the free trial seriously.
