I got my letter today!! Funny thing is I checked the online listings this morning and didn't see my name, then stopped by the grandparent's house this evening (I've used their address for things while in the middle of moving to make sure i didn't miss the letter between houses!) and they said “You have a letter”…and when I saw it addressed to “Elisabeth Richardson, CPA” I knew it had to be the letter I'd been waiting for!!!! I know this shouldn't be *that* exciting since I already knew I met the requirements etc., but it's still exciting to be official. 🙂

It says my wall certificate will be mailed “in the next couple of months”. I wonder how long that piece takes?

Oh, and the ironic thing with all of this is that even-numbered licenses renew in even years. I got an even-numbered license…so my biannual renewal will be due 6 months after licensure!

Oh my gosh, Lilla congratulations! I am so jealous!!

That's one thing I like about being here, KY BOA rocks! They're very efficient, except for the score release that's always one day behind, LOL.

@amordiva 😀 😀 They still haven't cashed my check…in true KY fashion lol…but I don't care when they cash now! So, for your reference when you get your license, I sent my paperwork in 12/13, the congratulatory letter is dated 1/10, and I got it on 1/13…so basically took them a month.

@tough_kitty Thanks! I couldn't help changing my name…haha.

Congrats Lilla. It must feel really good to pass and now own the license. Good luck in your career.

It begins with a 75
Been here too long as a cheerleader....ready to pass

For what it's worth…that site doesn't update immediately. 😉 My state's site now pulls me up, but that one doesn't. I'll try to remember to check it again after a couple days to see how quick it is!

Good to know. I guess I'll keep checking my state's website 🙂

That's great, Lilla!!! Wooo!!!

My application arrived at the MA Board yesterday morning. In my head, I'm willing them to process it. I realize it arrived only yesterday, but it feels like an eternity to me.

“Dear Licensee: Congratulations! Having determined that you meet the qualifications of good character, education, experience and examination, the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy has granted you the above license number.”
