How we check firms in Connecticut

Connecticut has two county pages: Hartford County, with 21 listed firms, and Fairfield County, with 34. Both use the historic county names, which still describe where people live even though the counties stopped being governments in 1960. Each page lists the towns it covers. Pick the county you're in, or the one you're willing to drive to. Firms with an office anywhere else in Connecticut are ranked on this page.

The easiest state to check

Connecticut publishes its professional licenses as open data, CPA firm permits included, with status and expiry dates. So Connecticut firms in the index are checked against it, not just the ones that call themselves CPAs. A name that matches more than one record is left unlogged rather than guessed. When a permit is active, the profile shows the permit number and when it expires. When no permit turns up, the profile names what we searched, because most bookkeeping firms aren't CPA firms and don't need to be.

Business registrations and formation dates come from the Secretary of the State's business registry, which the state also publishes as open data.

How the two counties differ

Fairfield County firms write more down: more of them describe onboarding and catch-up work, and a few more publish prices. Hartford County firms are just as easy to verify, but their sites say less, so their scores run lower. Both pages list local firms first and firms that work remotely separately.

What a bookkeeper tracks in Connecticut

General information, not tax advice. Which of these reach your business depends on its entity type, what it sells, whether it has employees and the schedule each agency assigns. Your bookkeeper keeps the records; you, or whoever your engagement letter names, file. Checked on the linked official pages on September 26, 2026.

  • Sales and use tax. DRS assigns each registered business a monthly, quarterly or annual schedule for Form OS-114. The return is due by the last day of the month after the filing period ends, and you file it even when you made no sales and owe nothing. Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Income tax withholding. Connecticut income tax withheld is paid electronically with Form CT-WH. Monthly remitters pay by the 15th of the next month and quarterly remitters by the last day of the month after the quarter, the same day Form CT-941 is due. Form CT-W3 goes to DRS with your W-2s by January 31. Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Unemployment tax returns. Quarterly returns and payments to the Connecticut Department of Labor are due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Reimbursing employers get 15 more days past each of those dates. Connecticut Department of Labor, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Pass-through entity tax. The pass-through entity tax is optional. An entity that elects it files Form CT-PET, due March 15 for calendar-year filers. The election is made each year and can't be reversed once made. Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Annual report. Connecticut corporations, LLCs, LLPs and limited partnerships file their annual report online with the Secretary of the State. The fee is $80 for an LLC, LLP or limited partnership, $150 for a corporation and $50 for a non-stock corporation. Connecticut Secretary of the State, checked Sep 26, 2026
