Do your employers take their time to issue experience letter?

    I just passed my CPA exam and request recommendation and experience letter from one of the partners (small firm, no HR department). However, it seems takes him forever to give me the letters. I have asked him twice and I am really annoyed. How do you guys handle it?

    – How long is “forever”?

    – How much does individual extension deadline affect your firm's workload?

    The small firm I worked in, Sep 1 – Oct 15 was almost as bad as Jan – Apr, cause we had lots of S-corps and Sch C individuals who procrastinated then brought us a mess to sort out last-minute…so depending on how long “forever” is that it's taking him, it could just be that his #1 priority right now is getting clients' returns completed, and that after Oct 15th you'll be his priority, but right now you're at the bottom of the stack.

    @Lilla, I asked almost two weeks ago. We do have some extension, but not too much. It is not as bad as tax season, and we don't work overtime during this time. Is it normal?

    Not really.But you can always send reminder. Should be fine. I dont need experience letter for non-reporting license. I have already submitted my application. Still waiting for congratulatory letter. On NASBA the date is 15th Oct.

    @IB553, you can actually reprint the congratulatory letter. On the application, it says that I need to send the letter together, so I paid 25 dollars to reprint it. Then, yesterday I got the actual letter again from NASBA. No idea how it works, I saw on the website that they start sending them on 10/15.

    @IB553, they won't send you an email with that letter, so I paid 25 dollars and got the original mail. There is a link for reprint the letter, but I cannot find it now.

    @Vanessachy. Yea. When I spoke with MA board they confirmed that I do not need to sumbit congratulations letter. I got confirmation from MA board yesterday that all my papers are OK. No need to sumbit scores. They are transferred by NASBA to MA board directly. Do you have masters degree? I hope to get my license in next few weeks.
