REO is a Phillippine online-only education institution founded in 2017. Aiming to help students get ready for CPA exams, REO is the largest online CPA training institute in the Philippines. Founded by CPA reviewer, Rex Banggawan, REO provides online CPA reviews and prep courses for students across the Philippines.
CPA reviews in the Philippines have historically been conducted offline. However, physical prep exams and courses for CPA have been expensive for the conductors and the students that appear. This existing offline system of CPA reviews is tedious and time-consuming.
To help modernize this system, the founder Rex envisioned a way to conduct CPA reviews online. He started a website in 2017. However, the younger population of the Philippines prefers smartphones over computers. REO realized that mobile apps would be more effective to conduct CPA reviews, training, and mock exams. However, they could not hire dedicated developers to create an app.
REO created an education app called CPA Reviewer, both for Android and iOS. With this app, they train and teach students online with the help of their dedicated professors and industry-leading trainers. Students that sign up get access to courses, mock tests, live classes, tutorials, and more.
Based on what a student needs, the app directs them to necessary study materials. They also get offline help and can customize how they want to learn. The app has every possible tool a student preparing for CPA exams could need.
The app forms a significant part of REOs business model. CPA reviewer has a runaway hit in the Philippines and the 2020 pandemic accelerated the need for an online CPA course. Launched in August 2020, the app currently sits at a 4.9 rating on Google Play Store and has garnered over 5000 downloads just on the Google Play Store.
REO has since become the largest online-only CPA prep course within the Philippines through the app’s help. They chose Appy Pie to create their online training platform because it was the only no-code app builder suitable for creating a completely functioning educational app.
