Do you need a CPA license or 150 credit hours for an audit new grad job?
Deloitte, PwC and KPMG ask a US audit new grad to be eligible for the CPA, not to hold a license.
PwC asks new associates to meet, before starting, the education to sit for the CPA exam in their state. Deloitte's Financial Statement Audit role asks for the minimum education for CPA licensure in the office's state. KPMG marks some audit and advisory roles "Must be CPA eligible". In the AICPA and NASBA model law, a license takes the CPA Exam plus one of three routes: a master's and one year of experience; a bachelor's, 30 more credits and one year; or, approved on 14 May 2025, a bachelor's and two years. Each degree carries an accounting concentration, and each state adopts the third route by its own law or rules.
