Megan D. Lewczyk, CPA, MAcc – 2018 20 Under 40 Vendor Superstar

Career Highlights:

I decided to venture off the traditional public accounting path early in my career to pursue my passion for creating the next generation of CPAs. I was appointed in May 2017 to Chief Operating Officer at Yaeger CPA Review after joining the company in 2015. I previously led the Content Development department. I enjoy helping people pass the CPA exam, and I am able to do this on a daily basis at Yaeger CPA Review. Also, I am an adjunct accounting instructor for several online universities and I am a regular contributor to the industry blog, Going Concern. Prior to transitioning to academia, I worked at KPMG in the IT attestation department in Denver. Before that, I attended the University of Denver and graduated summa cum laude with my undergraduate degree in general business and my master’s degree in accountancy. I recently moved from Charleston, South Carolina to Kailua, Hawaii. I am honored to have been selected as a 20 under 40 vendor superstar by CPA Practice Advisor in both 2017 and 2018.
