A2 here, wondering what is the experience requirement to be a licensed CPA in CA? I did some research online and see only one year of general experience is needed but my partner just told me I need generally two years to get the type of experience required such as senior type experience. Can anyone confirm what is correct? I was hoping to switch LoS

Approximately two years if you want “authorized to sign attest report” CPA license. One year is fine if you don’t need that.

Depending on what you did during the 1 year, you might have the hours to get the above license. But a lot of people, including myself, didn’t meet the requirements during the 1st year.

Do I need the attest license if I want to switch to advisory?

California has two licenses: general and attest. For general, you only need 1 year experience. For attest (which is required for managers and partners to sign reports), you need to fill out this complicated attest hours spreadsheet. I have general, and I was told not to apply for attest until after my S1 year as the firm won’t sign it until then

I believe it’s only needed for audit but I could be wrong
