License & CPE renewal tracking for CPAs and accounting firms
CPA licenses carry the heaviest continuing-education load of any common profession — up to 120 hours a cycle, with ethics and subject-area minimums inside that total. Firms carry the risk for every licensed professional on staff.

CPE hour totals hide sub-requirements
Hitting the headline hour count is not enough — most boards also require a minimum in ethics, and often in accounting and auditing. Firms discover the gap at renewal, not before.
Busy season and renewal season collide
Renewal windows routinely open while the firm is buried. The reminder that arrives in March is the reminder nobody reads.
Firm-wide exposure, per-person deadlines
A firm with twenty licensed staff has twenty independent clocks. One spreadsheet owner leaving is all it takes to lose the tracking.

How CredentialPilot handles it
CredentialPilot keeps one register of every credential you hold or employ — state licenses, continuing-education requirements, board certifications, background rechecks, professional liability coverage and agency registrations — and drafts the renewal checklist automatically at 60, 30 and 7 days before each date.
Built for sole practitioners, firm partners, and the practice managers responsible for firm-wide licensure.
