You just have to find someone that oversees you in industry that has a CPA and they can sign off.

Your previous supervisors in public will sign off

I think people have been able to email old partners and they’ve been able to sign off

Currently in industry (worked in public for a little over a year, wasn’t for me). On the finance/accounting side of things, everyone above manager has their CPA, and a lot of managers have it as well. My manager and I are both studying for the exams (because we don’t want an artificial ceiling); if we pass at the same time I’ll be able to get the controller to sign off, but if my manager gets licensed before me I’ll be able to have her sign off instead.

Reach out to to your hr department at your old firm and they’ll find someone to sign off. It was quicker for them to find someone for me because I provided manager names that liked me while I worked there and they signed off quickly
