Hi everyone,
I’ve worked in this company as a contractor for couple months. And our department head asked me if I was interested in one of the staff accountant position several weeks ago. (he is a CPA, and he said that he can sign off my work experience)
I applied and just received an offer letter today. And I have discussed with my future manager to include a line that says our department head can sign off my work experience after one year in the offer letter, since I passed all parts of the exam and experience is all I need to become a CPA. And she agreed. But, the letter I received today does not mention anything about that. Should I tell HR to include this as part of offer letter? or it’s somethinkg that I should not asked about? Any idea would helped, thank you all so much!！

Theres no benefit to having it in the offer letter so don't bother. I'm sure your future manager will be happy to sign off on your experience and if things were to go sour and he or she refused having it in that letter doesn't guarantee you anything.

Tip: Use your state board's website to verify the CPA is both registered and active.
This matters in NYS, not sure about your state. It's no guarantee that their registration will not lapse during your course of employment, but at least you can confirm they are active when you are hired.
