Finance jobs, exam notes and tools, checked against the source
Study From Notes is built for one reader: a finance professional or student who needs the fact, not a summary of a summary. Job listings are checked against the employer's own careers page, with the salary, location and closing date taken from the official posting. Study notes are written from the official syllabus and exam blueprint for the CPA, CFA, ACCA and CA exams, with worked examples and comparison tables you can revise from the night before the paper.
The free tools run in your browser: a study timetable generator that builds a day-by-day plan from your exam date, PDF tools for everyday document work, and calculators for salary, tax and loan questions. Exam news and result announcements are covered from the institute's own notification, on the day it appears.
