    Hello all. I just got my score for FAR and I have now passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam.

    n

    I live in Virginia. I took on this exam with the hope of being a more marketable job candidate. It worked and I now have a job, but I do not work under a CPA, so I will likely never get the experience requirement.

    n

    I think I will just get licensed in Colorado/Illinois since my Masters will work in lieu of the experience requirement.

    n

    I work for the government and do not perform accounting services. Can I use the CPA designation in Virginia if I am not licensed there?n

    Are you licensed any where in the US? If not, then you can't use the CPA title AT ALL ANY WHERE. Most states have some type of regulation that keeps you from using the CPA title (some call it unauthorized use of title) until you really are licensed. Check with the VA board about its mobility restrictions.n

    Can I use “CPA” designation in my resume if I am a licensed under California but currently working and living in Texas?

    I've no idea, but I'm really impressed that the first two posts were posted 2005 years ago. I had no idea Jeff was that old, he wears his age well!

    As long as you are licensed, you could put something like “California CPA License #####” on your resume.

    i live in Fl and one person in my firm is licensed in MA and has a little asterisk after his name * licensed in MA only. I'm not sure if this is a requirement. But you can use it anywhere just clarify where it is from if necessary,
