Hi, Does anyone know the rules around acquiring a CPA firm without having a CPA license? - I know that nearly all states allow for Non-CPA firms to be "minority" owners. - (My goal would be to acquire a majority ownership.)

But the reason for my question is some PE firms have been acquiring CPA firms over the last several years and I am wondering if anyone knows how they get around that?

Any thoughts or help is much appreciated!

Thanks, Walt
