Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding CPA Jobs at MBE CPAs Jobs
Credential Your Foreign Accounting Degree Early
If your accounting degree is from outside the U.S., get it evaluated by a NACES-approved credential evaluation service before you apply. CPA licensure requirements vary by state, and MBE CPAs will expect you to be on a clear path to licensure.
Target Offices Aligned With Your CPA Specialty
MBE CPAs operates across multiple locations with distinct client bases. Research which office focuses on the accounting specialty you're pursuing, such as tax or audit, and tailor your application to that team's work rather than applying broadly.
Use Migrate Mate to Find Open CPA Roles
Search for open CPA positions at MBE CPAs filtered by visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate. This saves time spent cold-applying to roles where sponsorship isn't confirmed and surfaces positions where the firm has actively engaged with international candidates.
Ask About LCA Filing Timing During Interviews
The H-1B process requires DOL to certify a Labor Condition Application before USCIS can process the petition. Ask your MBE CPAs recruiter how far in advance they initiate LCA filings so you can gauge whether your start date is realistic.
Align Your CPA Exam Progress With Sponsorship Discussions
MBE CPAs will expect CPA exam progress or licensure for most roles. Walking into an offer conversation with all four exam sections passed, or a clear exam schedule, strengthens your case and removes a common objection to sponsoring international candidates.

Find CPA at MBE CPAs JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does MBE CPAs sponsor H-1B visas for CPAs?
Yes, MBE CPAs has sponsored H-1B visas for CPA roles. The H-1B requires your position to qualify as a specialty occupation, which accounting roles at CPA firms typically satisfy given the degree and licensure requirements. Sponsorship is subject to the annual USCIS H-1B cap registration process, so timing your offer relative to the April filing window matters.
Which visa types are commonly used for CPA roles at MBE CPAs?
MBE CPAs has worked with candidates on H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and J-1 visas. For Canadian and Mexican nationals, the TN visa is a faster route into a CPA role since it doesn't require USCIS approval or cap registration. F-1 students often start on CPT or OPT before transitioning to H-1B sponsorship.
What qualifications are expected for CPA roles at MBE CPAs?
MBE CPAs expects candidates to hold a bachelor's degree in accounting or a closely related field, and most roles require progress toward or completion of the CPA exam. For international candidates, your degree should be evaluated for U.S. equivalency. Relevant experience in public accounting, tax, or audit is a practical advantage regardless of your visa status.
How do I apply for CPA jobs at MBE CPAs?
You can browse open CPA positions at MBE CPAs on Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship so you can confirm eligibility before applying. Apply directly through MBE CPAs' careers page with a resume tailored to their practice areas. If you're on a time-sensitive visa status, note your work authorization in your application so recruiters can factor in sponsorship timing from the start.
How do I plan my timeline for H-1B sponsorship at MBE CPAs?
H-1B cap registration typically opens in March, with employment starting no earlier than October 1 if selected. If you're finishing OPT or CPT, confirm your authorization end date against this calendar before accepting an offer. Firms like MBE CPAs need several weeks to prepare the Labor Condition Application and H-1B petition, so initiate sponsorship conversations at least three to four months before your status expires.
