Master U.S. Tax
Credentials.

One-on-one CPA & Enrolled Agent mentorship from Rishabh Jain — CPA (Montana), six years of experience across BDO & RSM.

WHY RJ ACADEMIA

The old way of coaching is broken.
We rebuilt it around one idea —
proximity to a practitioner.

01

100% founder-taught

Most institutes use a credentialed founder as the promotional face and delegate the actual lectures to junior faculty. At RJ Academia, every live class, every module, every case study is personally taught by Rishabh Jain — the CPA who spent six years reviewing returns at BDO, RSM and Frazier & Deeter.

02

Direct 1:1 mentorship

No automated helpdesks. No ticketing systems. No 'we'll get back to you within 48 hours'. Whether it's a Section 1231 depreciation nuance, scheduling around a full-time job, or a state-board eligibility question — you talk to Rishabh directly, and you get an answer that day.

03

Theory + real practice

Passing the exam is table stakes. What matters is walking into your first day at Deloitte and knowing how a Schedule K-1 actually flows through Form 1065, how CCH Axcess handles state apportionment, and why a Section 754 election matters. That's what we teach — using real workpapers, real returns, real software.
