California Board of Accountancy

The CBA wants to ensure consumers are making educated, informed decisions when selecting an accounting professional in California. You can easily check to make sure a prospective CPA is licensed and if they’ve had any enforcement actions taken against them by using our “License Lookup” feature on the CBA website. From there, you can find the perfect CPA for your unique needs. Try it out here: https://lnkd.in/dkv3cyac
