The CPA records we matched belong to Faw Casson, Orth & Kowalick, P.A., Santora CPA Group and Boyer & Boyer. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Delaware Board of Accountancy lookup.
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.
Search the firm or the person on the Delaware Board of Accountancy lookup. A bookkeeper doesn't need a CPA license to keep your books; it matters when a firm uses the CPA title or you need audited or reviewed statements.
Search its legal name on the Delaware business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
