What is LumiQ?
Founded in 2016, LumiQ has carved out a unique niche by transforming the traditional, often tedious, continuing professional development (CPD) landscape into an engaging, audio-first experience. By leveraging a proprietary mobile podcast platform, the company provides CPAs with high-quality, insightful conversations with industry leaders that serve as verifiable educational credits. This approach effectively disrupts the legacy model of professional training, positioning LumiQ as a critical infrastructure provider for accounting firms and individual practitioners seeking to streamline their compliance and learning workflows. The company's transition from its origins as Luminari to its current identity reflects a strategic pivot toward scalable, content-driven EdTech solutions.
