Yes. You just have to send them the work verification

Adding onto this, in some states (like NY) the Board requires them to respond to your application, and I think they hey can be penalized if they don't.

Actual question: why would you pursue a public accounting license if you left public accounting?

Again - I think it depends on your market OP. I’m in Tampa and the industry wants cpa. Especially for the higher up jobs. If you’re already doing it I would finish. I would rather have something and not need it then need something and not have it
