What is a Florida Certified Public Accountant (CPA)?

A Certified Public Accountant is the title given to all qualified accountants in America who have passed an exam known only as, the "Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination." They must also meet additional education from the state and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. Those who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination but may have not completed the required on-the-job experience or have met it previously but in the meantime have lapsed any continuing education of the professional nature are, in many states, allowed the designation "CPA Inactive" or an equivalent phrase.

In most American states, only CPAs who get licensed are legally able to provide opinions on financial statements to the public attestation (including auditing). Some exceptions to this rule are Arizona, North Carolina, Kansas, and Ohio where the practice of auditing is not restricted, although the "CPA" designation is restricted.

Some U.S. states may prohibit the use of particular designations such as "Public Accountant" or "Certified Public Accountant," or even the abbreviations "CPA" or "PA", by a person who isn't certified as either a CPA or PA in that specific U.S. state. Because of that, in many circumstances, CPA's from out of state are in fact restricted from using the "CPA" designation or letters unless a certificate or license from that state is obtained.

Beyond the basic licensing and education requirements, most of the state boards require any applicants for CPA status to complete a special examination specifically regarding ethics. Many U.S. states require that ethics course include a review of that state's specific rules for professional practice to ensure that each CPA is well educated for their particular state.

This is State Certification, not a Pembroke Pines certification, as such a Certified Public Accountant can use the designation in the entire state, in this case Florida.  Tax Preparation Services & Filing are one of the services that are provided and you can trust that you would be in good hands when hiring a CPA.
