It depends on the nature of your felony and which state you are applying in. You'll want to take a look at state requirements/individual state boards and read through their rules to be sure: http://www.rogercpareview.com/cpaexamreqs4.html

If it is a fiduciary felony, it is highly unlikely that any state will allow you to become a CPA.

Felons can be hired in accounting but are far less likely to be offered a job than non-felons. Those convicted of serious crimes are generally considered to be less trustworthy and would be a liability in this industry.

An ex-felon whom has had a felony under federal or state law, can be hired as a tax preparation personnel but they must wait until 1 year has passed from the date of their conviction, or release from prison.
