California CPA license renewal
CPA license expires every 2 years at midnight on the last day of the licensee's own birth month. Licensees with an odd birth year renew in odd expiration years; licensees with an even birth year renew in even expiration years.
Find your row: look up your birth month below, then use the odd-birth-year or even-birth-year column depending on the year you were born.
