Hi, I have passed all 4 sections of the CPA in NH, but have not obtained the work experience required, as I do not have a job in an acctg firm (public acctg). However, I have experience in general acctg in corporations. As of now, I have not been able to secure a job within a public acctg firm, therefore still not able to acquire the necessary experience.

As such, is there another state that i can be licensed in that meets the requirements of:

1. Do not need public acctg experience

2. Do not need US tax course / audit course (would be willing to take if other criterias satisfied)

3. Do not need 150 hour requirement

4. Do not need residency requirement

I have looked into the requirements of different states, but do not seem to be able to find any that meets the above criteria. Any help / suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.

• A bachelor’s degree;
• 24 semester units in accounting-related subjects;
• 24 semester units in business-related subjects (accounting courses beyond the 24 required units may apply toward the business units);
• Passing the Uniform CPA Exam;
• Two years of general accounting experience supervised by a CPA with an active license; and
• Passing an ethics course.

OH NO! I am missing one course for the accounting area! I have 21 semester hours in accounting!! I guess I am not eligible to be certified in California in that case.

Ughhhh.. this is frustrating!! Any other states I can be certified in?

Delaware does not have a residency requirement based on my knowledge. You will however need a US tax course and experience to be verified by a practicing CPA.

Cheers!
