The fund, SPV, or startup round you are joining needs proof you are accredited before you can wire. A licensed CPA reviews your documents and issues the letter they require — typically within 24 hours, for $99 — and it is reusable across every 506(c) deal for 90 days.
Venture funds, private funds, SPVs, and startup rounds that advertise their raise do so under Regulation D Rule 506(c). That rule requires the manager to take reasonable steps to verify that every investor is accredited — a self-certification checkbox does not satisfy it. So instead of taking your word for it, the manager asks for third-party proof before they let you into the round.
A written confirmation from a licensed CPA is one of the SEC-recognized methods. An AccreditedNow letter is exactly that: an independent professional confirms your status, and the fund keeps the letter as evidence of the steps it took.
