What our students say
"I had previously purchased another program and found it so overwhelming, I gave up. The structure and pace provided by the Academy made it possible for me to master the material while working full time. I passed both parts on the first try, in less than a year, with scores of 430 & 440."
"I found the materials and the recommended pace to be exactly what I needed. I scored a 440 and 430 for Parts 1 and 2 and passed both sections on the first try."
"Nathan and the team do an amazing job at helping you break down a big goal into manageable, practical steps. All the hours of hard work and study paid off. Not only did I pass, but I scored a 450/500 on CMA Part 1."

Is this you?
You work full-time in accounting or finance: staff, senior, manager, controller, FP&A, or CFO.
You want the CMA to unlock promotions, leadership roles, and higher pay.
You have limited study time each week and can't afford to waste it.
You've stalled with self-study or another course, or feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
If that sounds like you, this program was built for you.
Why self-study fails so many capable CMA candidates
If you've been grinding through a big-name self-study course for months and still don't feel ready, the problem isn't you. It's studying alone, with no plan and no one to answer to. The global average pass rate is just 50%. More content isn't the answer. Structure + support is.
"The biggest difference between this program and other courses is the support you get from the team. I never felt alone, and I passed Part 1 on my first try!"
"The program is very effective. You can study while working a stressful full-time job. The accountability and support made me feel that I'm not alone in this journey."
Nathan Liao, CMA, your coach for the next 16 weeks
When Nathan studied for the CMA while working full-time, he spent 20–25+ hours a week just figuring out what to study. He passed both parts on his first try, then built the 16-Week CMA Accelerator so you'd never have to repeat that grind.
Since 2014, his coaching method (a done-for-you weekly plan, certified CMA coaches, and real accountability) has helped accounting and finance leaders across the USA, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East pass at a 92% average rate, including many who'd already failed with big-name self-study programs.
Nathan shares his journey and why he built CMA Exam Academy.
The 5 Pillars of Our Pass-Ready System
The framework that takes candidates from stuck and overwhelmed to passing on their first try.
A Coach, Not Just a Login
Get something wrong studying alone and you either lose an hour down a rabbit hole or move on and hope it doesn't show up on the exam. Here, a wrong answer gets an explanation right away: weekly personalized calls, 24-hour email answers, and a 24/7 AI CMA Coach.
A Week-by-Week Plan
No Sunday-night scramble to figure out what to study. That's already done for you. Every week has a clear focus, a clear goal, and a milestone, so you always know whether you're on track.
One Focused Hour a Day
Weekend cram marathons burn you out; random 20-minute gaps go nowhere. A focused hour or so a day, built into your routine, adds up faster than you'd think, without taking over your life.
Practice, and a Lot of It
The exam's format and wording can throw you off if test day is the first time you see them. 4,000+ MCQs, case-based questions, and timed simulations cover variations of every tested concept, so nothing surprises you.
Exam Strategy
You can know the material inside and out and still underperform in that room. Pacing, handling questions you're not sure about, knowledge-retention techniques, and knowing exactly when you're ready to sit.
A week-by-week plan. Focused daily sessions. Consistent practice. Expert support. Exam strategy. It's not hype. It's structure.

Your Questions, Answered
I work full-time. What kind of commitment will this require?+
About 8 to 10 hours per week. Self-study candidates typically spend 15–20+ hours figuring out what to study. The done-for-you weekly plan removes that overhead, so every hour counts.
What if I've already failed with another course?+
If you stalled with a self-study course before ever sitting the exam, you're exactly who the Accelerator was built for. The structure, coaching, and guarantee exist for you. If you've already sat the exam and are retaking a part, we have dedicated retaker programs that may be a better fit:
I'm already using another course. Should I switch?+
If you've stalled, you don't need more materials. You need a plan and someone to keep you on it. Most of our students come from self-study programs. Bring that momentum here and finish the job with a coach and the guarantee behind you.
What if my accounting basics are rusty?+
The course is designed for accountants at all levels and includes a free Fundamentals of Accounting online textbook, a fast crash course so you feel confident tackling the CMA material.
How does the pass-or-100% refund guarantee actually work?+
Study a minimum of 16 weeks per part, complete all weekly assignments, lectures, and quizzes, and sit the exam before your 2-year access expires. If you score below 360, forward your official score report within 7 days and we give you your money back for that part.
Can I enroll now but start later?+
Absolutely. After enrolling, email us and we'll postpone your start date to fit your schedule. You can also pause the program midway if life happens. The course is completely flexible. One thing to keep in mind: every exam window you skip pushes the raise and the letters back, so lock in today's price and start when you're ready.
Can my employer cover the cost?+
Often, yes. Many students expense the program through professional-development budgets. The structured 16-week format and pass-or-100% refund guarantee make it an easy case to bring to a manager. As one student put it, the guarantee 'made it an easy sell to my company for reimbursement.' You'll receive a receipt as soon as you enroll. Submit that to your employer, no separate invoice needed.
Can I watch the lectures on my phone or tablet?+
Yes, the program is 100% mobile-friendly. Lectures are pre-recorded and on-demand, and the flashcards app works on iOS and Android, so you can study anywhere, anytime.
Which part should I take first?+
If you have an accounting or manufacturing background, start with Part 1. If you're finance-focused, start with Part 2. The combo includes both, and you can take them in any order.
Do I need to join the IMA before enrolling?+
No. Inside the program we guide you on when to pay for your IMA membership, entrance fee, and exam registration, and as a student you get an exclusive 15% discount on IMA fees.
Still weighing it? Book a quick call and we'll help you decide if it's the right fit.
A guided 16-week plan, a CMA coach in your corner, and a pass-or-100% refund guarantee.
Every exam window you skip pushes the raise, the promotion, and the letters after your name further out. Start now and you could have CMA after your name in 2027.
