Are you still at the firm you got the experience from? What does your boss or the partners at the firm say? As long as they are NY CPAs and are willing to document your experience and sign the form, then you have a shot.
This is what NY state says about qualifying experience quoted from the NY form 4B
“What is acceptable experience? An applicant must present evidence, satisfactory to the State Board for Public Accountancy, of full-time experience 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 licensed in one of the U.S. jurisdictions or a public accountant licensed in New York State. Acceptable experience may be earned in a public accounting firm, government, private industry or an educational institution.”
I also would like to find out what experience would be “satisfactory” to the board, as in what experience breakdown are they looking for on the form 4B? Perhaps someone who is familiar with the process can enlighten me.
