CPA in email signature…

    It appears that the trend is to NOT put CPA in email signatures. This applies to licenced CPA’s in public accounting, from staff to partners.

    Anyone else noticed this trend? Is it not required? As a way around it, it looks like some are just adding “, CPA’s” to their firm name. Is this an exposure/liability move??

    My Boss lists all his certifications, but the other CPA's in my office write out “certified public accountant” under their names because we do not have titles here. Also, another CPA who works remotely with us has her MBA but does not include so on her email sigature.

    It puts your stamp on everything you do. I've heard from several people who don't list it because of the potential liability.

    If I worked in public, I'd be more inclined to use it (provided it was the social norm at my firm). But working in industry, I don't know…..personally I feel like its just ostentatious because its not a requirement for what I do.

    I'm in industry and plan to add it to my email, name plate, and business card. I'll probably add it to my personal email, change my gmail to MCLKT,CPA, update LinkedIn and Facebook, get it engraved on a flask and might even get a vanity license plate while I'm at it. I'll be so damn proud of those 3 letters they will be everywhere. 🙂

    You cannot use cpa if you are not (obivously), as for liability there is professional insurance so the letters themselves is not a liability. But hey, you passed the test, registered with your state, I say wear those letters out. Vanity plates, mugs, ink pens, letter heads, shirts, sweaters, mouse pads, screen savers, etc whatever, where ever you pleased–where legal of course.

    @candothis there is actually a house that has such a sign down the road from me….sitting right in the yard…it doesn't say she's a CPA but that they provide tax services..it's definitely catchy!

    Paranoid, my mother in law is a CNA. She is hell bent that they are both professional designations and I simply chose a different path than sponge baths and changing adult diapers.
