This is all really useful info! Thank you guys again.

Can anyone interpret this form linked below to see if Maine truly requires no accounting? Thanks

Maine requires 2 years of public accounting experience with 150 credit hours and NH requires one year of PA experience under the 150 credit hour rule.

Maine might be the easiest when it comes to the educational requirement but is definitely one of the hardest in terms of work experience.

If you want to simply write and pass the exam and you don't have any accounting credits, then Maine is your only option. However, as mentioned above, you would not get your CPA designation from Maine until you meet their educational requirements of 150, plus specific accounting courses including audit and ethics, plus the 2 years of public accounting work experience.
