    Hey, I have a full-time offer for a Big 4 firm. I start full-time in October 2016. I plan to begin studying and taking the CPA after I graduate in May 2016. As of now, I plan to sit for Louisiana, but want to physically take the test in Massachusetts, because that is where I hope to eventually transfer to. Is that allowed?

    Also, the issue is that I want to eventually move offices (from LA to MA). Am I able to transfer my scores and CPA license to MA from LA? Hopefully my firm lets me start full-time in MA, so I don’t have to worry about this issue, but I just want to protect myself if they let me transfer after 6 months or so.

    Also, for my undergraduate/graduate credits, my educational requirements are for both Louisiana and Massachusetts.

    Yes, the score can transfer between different jurisdictions. You can sit for the exam in LA and transfer your score to MA when you apply for license. I sat for exams in NH and am about to apply for license in MA.
