Gainesville, Fla., Nov. 06, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Gleim Exam Prep and Gleim Aviation, a family-owned and operated leader in accounting exam prep and aviation training, is celebrating its annual observance, Gleim Day 2026. Proclaimed by the City of Gainesville in 2019 to honor the life and work of founder Dr. Irvin N. Gleim, this event marks the company’s ongoing commitment to transforming the accounting and aviation industries.

Founded in 1974, Gleim Exam Prep published the world's first self-study CPA review, marking the beginning of its mission to make professional certification more accessible and affordable. Over the past five decades, the company has grown to become the trusted source for millions of accounting professionals and more than half of America's pilots. Dr. Gleim’s vision was to provide an accessible and affordable path to certification, driven by the belief that ambition should not be limited by financial or logistical barriers.

Today, Gleim continues to uphold its founder’s legacy through its philosophy of providing elite study systems that turn career dreams into reality. The company’s approach is student-first, ensuring that talented individuals have the resources they need to succeed. Through the Gleim Gives Back initiative, the company channels its momentum into tangible community transformation. Recent efforts include partnering with Bread of the Mighty Food Bank to tackle food insecurity, planting forests with One Tree Planted, funding classrooms through DonorsChoose, and running corporate operations on one of the city's largest private solar setups.

Lorie M. Gleim, CEO of Gleim Exam Prep and Gleim Aviation, expressed pride in the company’s ongoing mission.

Gleim Day is celebrated annually on November 6, honoring Dr. Gleim’s birthday. This year, the company is marking the occasion by recognizing the impact of its founder’s vision. On November 10, 2026, International Accounting Day, Gleim will announce a new scholarship program created in Dr. Gleim’s honor. This initiative aims to support professors in helping their students reach their career goals, providing students with a direct pathway to apply for scholarships.
