Considering leaving PwC for an industry FP&A position. I have my CPA. I really don’t want to lose the license. So two questions here. 1) can I maintain my CPA while not actively working in an accounting role? 2) How do other people in industry get their CPE for free or relatively inexpensive?

1. Yes
2. Plenty of free CPE, also companies generally pay for CPE and the CPA is valuable in FP&A even if it’s not traditional accounting. Tons of FP&A jobs want CPA and/or MBA.

Just let your license go inactive. Don’t let CPE take up your free time when the license is useless outside of PA

In my state you just have to pay the fees again and get caught up on CPE

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it?

So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
