  Special Service

  Please note that their suggestion does not cover whether you are able to fulfill the experience requirement, so make sure you take this into consideration when finalizing the state to register.
  Alternatively, you can seek the advice of Leslie-Anne Rogers, an experienced consultant in CPA exam qualification.
