What the evidence shows
Pricing
None of these 18 websites shows a monthly fee. None of the 18 say they work by quote, and 15 of 18 don't mention pricing. Get the monthly fee, the transaction volume it assumes and what counts as extra in writing.
Services and process
If you're behind, start with the 2 firms that say they do catch-up or cleanup work. On this page that's OBS Financials and White River. Fewer write down the process: 1 of 18 describes onboarding and 4 name a reporting schedule.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks is the software named most, by 4 of 18 firms, ahead of QuickBooks Desktop 17% and QuickBooks Online 17%. Remote work is stated by 3 of 18; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
Arkansas publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 6 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Arkansas's published register. The CPA records we matched belong to Keen & Company, Christopher C. Pinson, Alliance CPA and Worden & Worden. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Arkansas State Board of Public Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 23 and 53; the median across every scored firm is 31. 2 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: Keen & Company (53 at 74% coverage), Christopher C. Pinson (48 at 83% coverage) and OBS Financials (43 at 83% coverage). Springdale has the most numbered firms (4), and the list spans 4 towns in all. A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
