## Resource

What if the biggest risk in your firm isn't a technical accounting issue—but a quiet licensing and mobility misstep you didn't know you were making? In this episode, CPA QualityPro CEO Lindsay Patterson shares how she went from journalism to the AICPA, earned her CPA while working full-time and raising kids, and then built a platform to help firms stay compliant across 55 jurisdictions. You'll hear practical insights on mobility myths, common renewal and registration pitfalls, and what the 120-hour pathway—and even potential 90-hour degrees—could mean for substantial equivalency, multi-state practice, and your talent pipeline.
