Jack passed all four CPA Exam sections on his first try. He studied full-time for about four months, and doesn't have an accounting degree. Jack tutors 1-on-1 and breaks every topic down into small, simple steps. No accounting background needed.
Jack is a licensed California CPA. Jack passed all four CPA Exam sections on his first try, studying full-time for about four months, with an average score of 87. He did it with a B.A. in Economics, not an accounting degree. That's why Jack teaches the way he does: he doesn't assume you already know the basics. He explains everything, starting from the beginning.
Jack is the founder and instructor of Pass With Jack, a CPA supplement, primarily for FAR and now AUD, plus 1-on-1 tutoring. He built it the way he wished someone had taught him: in plain language, one small step at a time.
A CPA supplement, primarily for FAR and now AUD, that teaches the topics and concepts you need to actually understand to pass, in a way that most resources don't.
Here's what that actually looks like.
Bonds, leases, consolidations, deferred taxes: the topics everyone dreads get broken into small, easy steps. One piece at a time, until it just makes sense.
Jack is funny and genuinely engaging. Sessions don't feel like a lecture you're trying to sit through, which makes it a lot easier to stay focused for the full 90 minutes.
Other resources teach you to memorize steps. Jack explains why they work, so you understand the logic, not just the pattern, and it still clicks when the exam phrases it differently.
Jack charges $100 an hour. 90 minutes is what Jack recommends, and it's what you'll book.

Real feedback from people who've studied FAR with him.
"I was so lost taking my first CPA exam. As someone without an accounting degree and very limited accounting experience, I was scared taking FAR as my first exam. Becker did a good job but there was no way I'd pass with just that. I found Jack on a Reddit thread and credit my 84 score on my first go around to him. His tutoring was reasonably priced and he did such a great job breaking down FAR's hardest concepts. Thanks Jack!"
"I used Jack to help me pass 3 of my 4 exams. I feel his greatest strength for me was the ability to take my foundation and the concepts I was struggling with and help me identify what it looks like on the exam. He also helped provide tips and tricks to identify the difference between similar sounding answers and how to identify which one is more correct in the situation. Overall he was the game changer that took me from repeated failures over a couple of years to passing all my exams in 6 months."
"Jack explains things in such a simple and clear way. His MCQs and SIMs helped so much, and the topics everyone is usually terrified of actually became the ones I felt most confident about. Studying for the CPA can feel lonely since you don't have a professor to ask questions like in college, but Jack became that person for me. Because of him, I walked into FAR feeling prepared and I passed!"
"After failing FAR I booked two sessions. One to strategize a retake study plan, and one closer to the exam to help explain one particular topic I was having a lot of difficulty with. I cannot recommend this enough; if you're struggling, try the strategy session. Personally, I think the jump in my score from 66 to 84 in 2 weeks really speaks to how effective that study strategy meeting was. Thanks Jack, shout out to you!"
"Jack has been so helpful on my learning. Motivating and helping people on Discord for months. His style of learning is very easy to digest, and he caters perfectly for the new generation of accountants."
"I don't know why Becker needed 1 hour 45 minutes to explain something that took Jack 25 minutes. He made so much more sense. Simple explanations, and he also teaches to the test."
"I was getting so lost on all the acronyms on Becker. Jack made it so much simpler. I am now able to confidently do questions on Becker with 80%+ efficiency. The change in thought process was huge, genuinely made it 10x easier to understand."
"Jack explains topics clearly with a journal entry heavy approach, then reinforces that knowledge with Excel techniques that let you navigate problems efficiently."
