This might be posted elsewhere, but I didn’t find anything.

I’m not necessarily interested in listing my specific scores on my resume, but I’m in the lovely interim period where I have everything done for certification, but I’m waiting to hear back from the state board to officially anoint me as a CPA. I’m attending a recruiting event tonight, so I need to have an updated resume, and I’d like to indicate that I’ve passed all four sections on my resume. Where have some of you had done that? List it with my education? Just not sure…

It’ll be so much easier when I can just add the letters “CPA” after my name.

BEC 7/12/13 - 84
AUD 8/31/13 - 86
REG 4/11/14 - 84
FAR 5/30/14 - 88

Licensed AZ CPA - 10/2014

“CPA License pending state approval –

“

Still wouldn't put it next to your name until you have the license number.

That's a good suggestion. Thank you!

And I am DEFINITELY not putting those letters next to my name until it's official.

I would not consider listing scores unless they are in the 90's and even then it is a toss up.

I have the following on my resume as the first component in my Education section in BOLD:

CPA Candidate, California (Passed all 4 parts)

If you have scores in the 90's and you posted them you could come off as pretentious. If you have scores less than 90's then no one cares.

Don't get me wrong your scores are better than mine, but unless you are a EWS award candidate it doesn't matter….

Passed all 4 exams in 2014!

Yeah, it's less about the scores and more about the location and telling that I've passed all four parts. I'm not planning on listing my actual scores.

I like this…

CPA Candidate, California (Passed all 4 parts)

but would love to see other options…

I also added a different sentence on my resume highlighting that I met thte educational and work requirements for licensure in my state which can be presented as a different accomplishment.
