Firm Mobility

What is CPA firm mobility?

Firm mobility allows a CPA firm to provide services in a state where it is not licensed, without needing to notify the state board of accountancy or pay a registration fee. Rules vary by state and by the type of service being provided. Firms must also meet certain conditions to use this practice privilege. The most common types of conditions include rules around firm ownership and peer review. CPA QualityPro provides you with a custom firm mobility determination for each type of service in each state.

Firm mobility is dependent on the firm having a license in good standing in a U.S. jurisdiction. You will need to upload at least one firm license to begin seeing firm mobility determinations.
