The CPA mentor match portal for CPA practical experience requirements
The CPA Mentor Match portal is an online, interactive system designed to assist future CPAs who are working in the experience verification route (EVR) to find an approved CPA mentor. Within the practical experience reporting tool (PERT), CPA mentors are able to provide information about themselves that can help students/candidates choose mentors that share similar interests and connections.
CPA students/candidates working in an EVR who are unable to find a CPA mentor on their own should contact their provincial/regional CPA body if they wish to gain access to the portal. Rather than the CPA profession matching students/candidates with CPA mentors, the portal allows students/candidates to conduct their own mentor search by using specific search criteria.
Accessing the portal
Only EVR students/candidates will be able to access the portal through their Profile section of the PERT. Students/candidates working in a pre-approved program route and CPA mentors will not be able to access the portal.
