🎓 How to Become a US CPA?
🔑 The 5 E’s for a Successful CPA Journey
Dreaming of becoming a US Certified Public Accountant (CPA)? Whether you’re a commerce graduate or an accounting professional, following the right roadmap is key. At Veer Edutech, we simplify this process into 5 essential E’s that guide your CPA journey from start to finish.
✅ 1. Eligibility
The first step is to check your eligibility. Each U.S. state board has its own rules, but you typically need:
- A bachelor’s degree in accounting or commerce
- 120 to 150 credit hours of education (depending on the state)
- Good academic standing
💡 Veer Edutech offers free profile evaluations to help you know exactly where you stand.
✅ 2. Education
Meeting the education requirement is crucial. Some candidates may need to bridge credit gaps by taking additional courses (online or offline).
Most state boards require subjects like:
- Financial Accounting
- Auditing
- Business Law
- Taxation
🎯 We guide you in selecting the right courses or programs to meet CPA eligibility faster.
✅ 3. Evaluation
Once you’re eligible, your transcripts need to be sent to evaluation agencies (like NASBA, WES, or NIES). They verify if your Indian education matches U.S. standards.
📝 This step confirms how many credits you have and which state boards you qualify for.
✅ 4. Enrolment – Board Selection
Now it’s time to select your state board based on your eligibility, goals, and experience.
Each board differs in terms of:
- Credit hour requirements
- Experience rules
- Ethics exam necessity
🧭 Veer Edutech helps you select the best-fit board and register with the correct jurisdiction.
✅ 5. Examination
Once you’re approved by your state board, it’s time to take the four-part US CPA exam, which includes:
