Can a MA CPA provide services in CA? Can they provide examination of prospective FS etc since it doesn’t deal with filing of tax returns or auditing of FS in CA?

If no, what are some of the restrictions?

Thanks

Check out the Practice Privilege Handbook on the CA Board of Accountancy site: https://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/publications/pphandbook.pdf

The third page says:

Effective January 1, 2006, qualified out-of-state CPAs may practice in California as long as the out-of-state CPA’s principal place of business is not in California. These practitioners are required to notify the CBA that they intend to practice public accountancy in California, swear under penalty of perjury that they are qualified to do so, and pay the required fee.
