This CPA launched a virtual tutoring platform during her maternity break to help students achieve their CPA Canada dream

• My name is Kari Rao-Kamboj – a CPA, CA, and entrepreneur in Canada.
• After working for almost 6 years at various organizations such as KPMG and PepsiCo, I decided to tutor CPA students to make some extra cash.
• In the process, I realized that there was a huge demand for CPA candidates that were interested in 1-on-1 coaching.
• In 2020, when I was 6 months pregnant and while working full-time, I decided to grow and expand my tutoring business into an online platform where CPA candidates can book 1-on-1 virtual sessions with qualified tutors.
• Since launching our new website and expanding our team in July 2020, Max Class has already worked with over 200 CPA candidates.
• Here is my journey.

Unconventional Path to CPA Canada

My passion for business led me to business school at Wilfrid Laurier University.

In fact, from a very young age, I started dabbling in entrepreneurship by selling homemade jewelry and other arts and crafts to my neighbors and friends.

My intention was actually to pursue marketing and work for a large CPG company like Procter & Gamble or Unilever.
