New Pathway to CPA Licensure Now Law in North Carolina
NCACPA is proud to share that North Carolina has officially adopted legislation creating an additional pathway to CPA licensure. Under this new law, candidates can become licensed upon completion of a bachelor’s degree with a concentration in accounting, two years of work experience under the supervision of a licensed CPA, and passage of the Uniform CPA Exam. This significant milestone—championed by NCACPA and supported by members across the state—aims to expand access to the profession, strengthen the CPA pipeline, and ensure the future vitality of North Carolina’s accounting workforce.

What Our Members Are Saying
The NCACPA has broadened my network, both in and out of North Carolina, to help me gain long-lasting relationships and friendships. I wouldn’t hesitate to continue my membership—even if I wasn’t in the state of North Carolina.
James Robinson, CPA
My favorite part of NCACPA membership has to be the community that comes with it. Not only do they offer extremely valuable in-person conferences, but I also have many opportunities to attend socials across the state and network in fun environments outside of an office.
Janey K. Kuyath, CPA
Being a member of the NCACPA has been essential to my growth as a CPA. It has allowed me to gain knowledge from colleagues, build strong professional relationships, and provided me with opportunities to give back to the community and the profession through their many initiatives.
