What the evidence shows
Pricing
7 of 57 firms here publish a price or a starting price, 2 say they quote, and 48 say nothing about fees (84%). Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Anomaly CPA ("$400/month"), Freedomfolio ("$650-$1,100/mo") and Green Books Inc ("from $200/month"). Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
If you're behind, start with the 9 firms that say they do catch-up or cleanup work. 13 of 57 state how often reports arrive, and 5 describe how onboarding works.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (30%); after it come QuickBooks Online 14% and Xero 12%. 7 of 57 say they work with clients remotely, so a firm across the metro can still take you on.
Licenses and public records
Massachusetts doesn't publish its CPA register or business registry in a form we can match, so most firms here stop below the 70% coverage a ranking needs. The website evidence still counts; it just can't carry a firm over the bar alone. Median evidence coverage here is 69%. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Board of Public Accountancy lookup.
