So, I’m hopefully 3/4 of the way done with the exam with my last part scheduled for 4/17. Thinking ahead to actually getting licensed, I have a bit of an issue. North Carolina wants me to have:

Three certificates of good moral character signed by properly licensed CPAs must be submitted with the application for a CPA certificate.

I’ve never worked at a CPA firm, or even *for* a CPA. I have enough general accounting experience to meet licensing requirements (just need 4 years and I have 20+), but I’m lacking in North Carolina CPA friends/colleagues! I’m sure I could go rub elbows with some CPA’s at the state society events, but the form also asks how long they’ve known me. Any idea how big of an issue this will be? I do know some CPA’s in MD, but none here in NC.

I guess I should start networking ASAP!

I'm in SC but working in NC. Call the NCACPA and talk to them. I would become a member of the NCACPA. They have networking events all the time; luncheons, meetings, etc.
