Required for M1 at CLA

I have a friend who works at a REALLY small TAS firm of line 10 people and he didn’t need a CPA at all and doesn’t need it for advancement.

Highly recommend you get it. A&M TAG requires it for Manager promotion. But agree with D1 you should get regardless.

At b4, if you look at your compliance status for CPA exam, it says something like “not needed for service line” with a green check mark. Point is, your PML won’t even know you don’t have it

If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
