There’s a state that allows your experience to be signed off by any other CPA, even if you don’t work with them. There’s also a state(AL) that doesn’t require a CPA to sign off on experience.
Study after work and get it. Why do they need it for you to study?
Yea that’s what I meant
thats what i’m currently doing working in industry while trying to obtain it by studying at night. OP, could you just study after work if you have the time?
I would do some research and consider if you really need your CPA license. Or said differently, get very clear on the benefits you would gain from a CPA license.
I am saying this as someone who has signed off on the experience 4 - 6 people in my work groups. I would encourage anyone who really wants to become a cpa to do so,
In your case, if you are working in PE and enjoy it, there are some major reason that your supervisors and mentors at your employer are not CPAs. They do not work in public companies. And significant private investment has pulled out of public companies in the last 20 years.
If you like private equity and are doing well to the point that leaving that field is a major opportunity cost, think twice about getting your CPA.
Now, if you write back and tell me you want to be a partner at your own audit and tax firm, or want to be a controller or cfo in a public company, the CPA makes a ton more sense. But not having your CPA is unlikely be a barrier to career success in private equity. Consider what credentials your higher ups do have, and invest in those credentials.
