That’s right.. it’s Mr.Olinto’s birthday today! Please take a minute out of your day and wish the guy on Facebook. I’m sure he has played a huge role in your CPA experience if you used Becker.

If you don’t have him on Facebook, wish him here! I’ll send him the link.

Happy Birthday, Peter Olinto! I'll be looking for you someday for my cup of coffee! Thanks for helping me pass all 4 part of my exam!

Favorite Quote by Peter Olinto:

“When your working the questions in the passmaster on straigh-line depreciation…do me a favor. Get a sharp object and keep it nearby. And when you get a questions wrong in the passmaster on straight-line depreciation, I want you to stab yourself in the leg repeatedly. Those are EASY POINTS ON THE EXAM – you gotta get them right!”

Happy birthday, Pete! You inspired me to not only study harder, but become a better teacher for my classes. Plus, your jokes are infinitely funnier than Tim's 😉

Happy birthday, Mr. Olinto! Thank you for being both funny and inspirational!

REG was intimidating.., and I think my ‘good score' (an 88) is partly Peter's score too. It really made my weekends more bearable when I had to study. Yet, sometimes I wanted to throw my laptop away, especially after hearing this: “There is an inverse relationship between happiness and likeliness to pass the exam; the more miserable you are studying, the more prepared you gonna be, and higher the likelihood you gonna pass.”

And the little “tax deduction” was so adorable too :-))))))

Happy birthday Mr. Olinto! I'm using CPA Excel but I saw one your videos posted in a thread on this site and you motivated me to continue studying as hard and even harder for the rest of the sections that lay ahead of me.
