I'm in California. I passed all the exams, and the ethics exam. I worked for a CPA for 2 years doing accounting, but she refused to sign my experience certification and is lying to the CA Board about what my work entailed. They determined I did not perform "general accounting functions" but I did AR, Revenue Recognition, and made reports for the CFO. I don't know what CA expects! (By the way, that is not even the requirement, but that's what my letter from the Board said was why I'm not getting a license.) Is there any way I can get licensed in another state to end this nightmare?

Kimberly: that sux, you should appeal the Board's decision. If you worked under a licensed CPA, how could they claim A/R and RR does not qualify as general experience? There is an appeal process outlined in the licensing manual. You may have to go to Sacramento. Check it out and appeal, I hate to hear a supervisor doing this to someone.
