What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page publishes a monthly price. None of the 12 say they quote each client, and 11 say nothing about fees at all. That's less open than Colorado as a whole, where 9% publish a monthly price. Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
None of the 12 sites here mentions catch-up or cleanup work, so ask about past months directly if you're behind. 1 of 12 states how often reports arrive, and 3 describe how onboarding works. Nationally 24% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (25%); after it come QuickBooks Online 17% and Bill.com 8%. Remote work is stated by 4 of 12; the filter above the list narrows to them.
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 37. 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 79% coverage), Scott Porter, CPA (45 at 88% coverage) and Lockhart & Company CPA (44 at 81% coverage). A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
