To JHI Member Firms:
As part of our continuing effort to bring value for our JHI firm membership we have partnered with Becker
CPA Exam Review to offer three flexible learning formats for exam candidates.
Becker’s live, online and self-study DVD formats will work with any schedule and are offered at attractive
rates for the staff of JHI member firms. Any of these formats offer the candidate the same thorough and
comprehensive coverage instruction with the same integrated materials.
JHI member firms can take advantage of the relationship with Becker CPA Exam Review in one of two ways:
1) Direct Bill
2) Preferred Provider
OPTION 1 – DIRECT BILL: Becker will offer a $700 discount for each staff member’s 4-part enrollment. The
standard 4-part tuition is currently $2890 but subject to increase each July 1st.
Firms who choose to participate in the Direct-Bill arrangement with Becker CPA review will receive an invoice for
their staff that enrolled each month. Even though the payment will be made by you, it is up to each firm to decide
the level of financial support they want to give their employees. Therefore, you can charge-back all (or part of)
the CPA review expenses to your employees. This discount is attractive for both the candidate, if he or she is
responsible for the program; and for the firm, if it offers this program as a benefit to its new hires or staff.
•
JHI Firms with an existing Preferred–Provider (PP) relationship with Becker: You will have the
option to switch to a Direct-Bill relationship. The PP discount, currently $350, will be reduced to $300 as
of the commencement of our new agreement starting 7/1/10. If you switch to direct-bill, you will be saving
an additional $400 for your employees. As noted above, you can charge-back all (or part of) the directbill CPA review expenses to your employees.
Optional Add-On Direct Bill Products:
JHI member firm may also elect to include Flashcards and/or Final Review as part of this direct-bill arrangement.
The following discounts will be offered if either of these products is chosen as an add-on:
(1) Flashcards Direct-Bill – Becker will offer a $50 discount off of the standard price, which is currently $195,
but subject to increase every July 1st. By choosing this direct-bill option, all enrollees from JHI member
firm will receive flashcards with their CPA Exam Review order.
(2) Final Review Direct-Bill – Becker will offer a $150 discount off the standard price, which is currently $540
for all for parts, but subject to increase every July 1st. By choosing this direct-bill option, all enrollees from
JHI member firm will receive Final Review with their CPA Exam Review order. (If a student enrolls in less
than four parts due to passing parts previously, JHI member firm will be billed for the per-part final review
at a $50 per-part discount. The standard per-part price is $180, but subject to increase every July 1st.)
OPTION 2 – PREFERRED PROVIDER: Under the Preferred Provider program, staff candidates will be invoiced
directly by Becker and will receive a $300 discount off the full standard four-part tuition. The standard 4-part
tuition is currently $2890 but subject to increase each July 1st. All JHI firms not choosing the DB relationship will
automatically be set up with a Preferred-Provider relationship. Please note that sales tax must be applied to all
self-study DVD orders.
There will be no retroactive adjustments made for staff members who have signed up for Becker prior to the date
that the direct-bill relationship is chosen.
JHI Member Firms will make their best efforts to make all staff and new hires that are eligible to sit for the CPA
Examination aware of this “Direct Bill” or “Preferred Provider” program.
The JHI member firm discounted tuition includes all course materials including textbooks and
PassMaster/Simulation/Final Exam software. Course enrollment fees are included.
Term and Termination
Either party can terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.
CPA Exam Orientation

sessions are usually provided at the firm’s location. The seminars are currently provided free-of-charge.
