CPA living abroad cannot obtain a firm permit for SOC 2 work because state licensing boards assume a physical U.S. office, blocking legitimate remote practice.
Existing state licensing frameworks do not accommodate CPA firms without a U.S. physical presence, and mobility provisions require a home-state license which is unavailable to non-U.S. based firms.
