My understanding is that you need to be licensed in the state in which you primarily live and practice, in order to hold yourself out as a CPA. Perhaps different firms view differently but seems like you should be licensed where you live.
If this helps, I changed states as part of a firm transfer to a state I was not licensed in. I was able to hold myself out as a CPA while my reciprocity was being finalized. Assuming you kept your license active in the initial state, you likely could do the same.
Agree. My title was principal until reciprocity was finalized.
There are a few states that require you to apply before you move. I actually got fined for that.
I did. I applied before I moved, but did not have the license for probably 8 months, because the state was slow.
Every state licensing board sets their own rules as far as licensing. Also each state has its own rules on ownership of CPA firms by non-CPAs. And then each firm sets its own policies on ownership and certification requirements.
Pretty big quality issue for most firms. Several firms have been censored for this issue. If you can show you actively have been trying to get the license would be best case .
