Firm Permit

Firm permits are needed by those firms with an office in this state practicing public accounting or using titles such as "CPA" or "LPA". Other firms may practice public accounting in this state and use "CPA" or "LPA" titles without a permit , if they perform such services through an individual who holds a valid CPA license from a substantially equivalent (SE) state (see nasba.org) (or who personally holds SE status granted by the NQAS).
