How can I get my CPA license?

After you have passed the CPA exam, you must complete state licensing requirements. If you plan to work in a different state than the one you currently live in, you will have to follow the requirements for your intended workplace, eventually moving there. Your CPA license may include working for one year in public accounting or teaching. Some states will accept other types of work experience. License requirements can vary from state to state, so it is best to research and be prepared for your state’s specific needs.
