“Hi Jeff, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for your review course! I finally passed all of my exams and I am DONE. I have never been so happy. I used (expensive course) for the bulk of the studying but then used your program to help me get the passing grade. Also, I really wanted to thank you for implementing the NINJA Sparring, it was so great. And I am so happy that others will have that now to study from. I looked for a tutor for almost a year but it was way too expensive. It was just what I needed. Thank you again so much!

What is NINJA Sparring?


NINJA Sparring is the CPA Exam Tutoring service offered through NINJA Monthly.

The weekly live sessions are done via Zoom and all NINJA Monthly members can attend and ask questions.

We run four live sparring sessions a week with the following schedule:

  • Monday – FAR
  • Tuesday – AUD
  • Wednesday – REG
  • Thursday – BEC

Most sessions include an accompanying Excel worksheet.

Replays are available the following day and there are currently 270+ hours of replays available for NINJA Monthly members, broken down by CPA Exam topic.


These sparring sessions are so helpful. I have a confession, at first I thought “Sparring” meant it was like a knowledge competition on the topic, so I avoided it like the plague. Still laughing at myself.

– Vanessa



We will be posting a full sparring replay from each CPA Exam section once a week on Mondays.

Dig these videos and want the rest?

Hundreds of hours of on-demand replays are available to NINJA Monthly subscribers as a member benefit.


These sparring sessions are awesome and much better than the live sessions I have with my primary study package.”
