Hi,

This may be a stupid question but I would like to know if i work at a private firm (1 CPA), can that experience count towards my CPA requirement?

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely. If your state requires, say, audit experience, then a 1-man firm is less likely probably to do audits…but as long as the 1-person firm does audits, you'd still be OK. Just look up your state's requirements, but I'm not aware of any state that has requirements about the firm size, just some have stricter requirements about the specific work that's done.

thanks dpad124!

it says-

“An applicant who meets New York's 150 semester hour education requirements for licensure must present evidence, satisfactory to the State Board for Accountancy, of one year of full-time experience (or the part-time equivalent) providing accounting services or advice involving the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management advisory, financial advisory, tax, or consulting skills under the supervision of a certified public accountant ”

so that means if i work tax season, that counts too right?

It says tax work counts, as long as you work under a CPA. So tax season should count.
