Has anyone converted their CA ANZ to a CPA when moving from Australia to the US?

Some resources online point to it being relatively simple, while others suggest it’s not. I’d love to hear your experience if you’ve been through the process!

I think it depends on the state. Regulations vary. I'm a CPA in Canada and I looked into, but I have no firsthand experience with it.

Depends on the state you are moving to. Similar to above, I’m Canadian - I worked in NZ for a bit, the transfer from Canada to NZ was super straight forward. However, coming into the US, there are exams you have to write, and it’s a pretty lengthy process.
