What the evidence shows
Pricing
Pricing is where these sites say least: 9 of 13 are silent on fees, none say they quote each job, and 3 publish a monthly figure. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Momentum Tax and Financial ("$255/month"), Unify CPA ("$700-$2,000 / mo") and Mueller Pye & Associates CPA ("Starting at $895"). Across Colorado, the share publishing a monthly price is 9%, so this group is ahead of its state. Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
1 of 13 says it takes on catch-up or cleanup work, which matters if your books are months behind. On this page that's O'Dell & Company. 4 of 13 state how often reports arrive, and 4 describe how onboarding works. Nationally 24% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is above the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks Online is the software named most, by 4 of 13 firms, ahead of QuickBooks 23% and Gusto 23%. If you run Xero, Balanced Equation names it. 2 of 13 say they work with clients remotely, so a firm across the metro can still take you on.
Licenses and public records
Because Colorado publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 1 firm with an active CPA license or permit on Colorado's published register and 8 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The CPA records we matched belong to Soukup, Bush & Associates. 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
The numbered firms score between 23 and 66; the median across every scored firm is 45. 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: O'Dell & Company (66 at 78% coverage), Momentum Tax and Financial (58 at 78% coverage) and Unify CPA (54 at 75% coverage). Fort Collins has the most numbered firms (7), and the list spans 2 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.
