AB 1175 just passed - major changes coming to CPA licensing in CA (effective Jan 2027):
What's changing:
- β
Bachelor's degree with accounting concentration
- β
2 years experience
- β
Pass the CPA exam
- β NO MORE 150-unit requirement!
Why it matters: The expensive "5th year" barrier is gone, making it more accessible to enter the profession. Plus, more flexible experience options and better mobility for out-of-state CPAs.
