What the evidence shows
Pricing
1 of 11 firms here publishes a price or a starting price, none say they quote, and 10 say nothing about fees (91%). Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Lockhart & Company CPA ("Starting at $500"). Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Licenses and public records
Colorado publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 1 firm with an active CPA license or permit on Colorado's published register and 9 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The CPA records we matched belong to Scott Porter, CPA. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Colorado State Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
Numbered scores on this list run from 50 down to 22, and the median across every scored firm is 29. One more firm reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so it sits under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: Telos Bookkeeping (50 at 71% coverage), Lockhart & Company CPA (44 at 75% coverage) and Scott Porter, CPA (43 at 86% coverage). A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
