MST is a degree, but you generally still need a professional license (CPA, EA, or law). I’m not aware of any firms that do not require managers and above to be licensed.

like

Not for managers and above, just get the EA if that’s not stopping you. Takes about 1-2 months of studying to pass all three exams.

Just get EA. The exam is so easy.

You need to be licensed to sign returns. You can’t function as a SM (maybe M) or up if you can’t sign.

Same question.

How do I get signatories to fill in their company name correctly on a DocuSign PowerForm NDA? I’m not allowed to reach out to people in advance and prepare customized NDAs for them, because “everyone is automated” and “that’s too slow and causes too much work for them.” I moved the signatory info to the signature block and made a “Full Legal Name of Entity you Represent” line, but people still screw it up and I’m getting blamed. WTF do I do?
