Working in big4 FP&A transformation consulting but want to earn a CPA as well. According to Claude (i know i know ) the fp&a consulting work should qualify for CPA experience in California. Would it be difficult to find a coa to review and certify my experience from the accounting practice? Is this done?

It’s best to look at the licensure rules for the state by going to the relevant state website. Also, investigate internally at your firm. I had to have a sign off for experience when getting my NY license (original was IL) when I was at a Big 4. There were a lot of consultation calls before they determined my experience counted and the designated partner for that task would sign off. For context I was licensed in IL, but was required to get a license for the state where my office was located. NY required 3 more semester hours of finance than IL. My options were to take a finance class (during busy season) or meet the work requirement. I chose the latter.

Are you currently working under a CPA that'll sign off on your experience?
I was told, back in the day, that it depends on what you're actually doing in FP&A.

Most FP&A experience is so far removed from actual accounting. If they accept it, they should just remove the experience requirement altogether, IMO.

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
