As someone else has mentioned, what you’re ultimately looking for is the ability to become a CPA. This is a bit more convoluted with a European degree, as you’ll be running into the 150 hour rule (a CPA has to have 150 credit hours, which is typically a BA plus one year’s study in the US). However, in Europe, an undergraduate degree can be either 3 or 4 years, depending on the country.

You might want to consider getting an MAcc degree upon your return to the US; that would allow you to practice back in the US. Alternatively, you could get a masters overseas and point to the fact that it is equivalent to a BA+1 in the US. However, you’d want to check with your state before committing.

Finally, a route you may want to take is to work for a major accounting company. The biggest ones have offices in both the EU and the US, and regularly move around staff with little difficulty.
