What the evidence shows

Pricing

3 of 16 firms here publish a price or a starting price, none say they quote, and 13 say nothing about fees (81%). Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Keen & Company ("Starting at $850"), ABTSNWA ("starting at $185") and Mokestaxfirm ("$150/mo"). That's more open than Arkansas as a whole, where 8% publish a price. 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: None of the 16 describe onboarding and 2 name a reporting schedule. Nationally 21% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.

Software and remote work

QuickBooks is the software named most, by 4 of 16 firms, ahead of QuickBooks Desktop 19% and QuickBooks Online 19%. Remote work is stated by 3 of 16; 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 27.5. 3 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 (38 at 77% coverage) and OBS Financials (38 at 77% 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.
