Because Michigan publishes its records as open data, the checks for every firm we list in Michigan found 35 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Michigan's published register. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Michigan 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 Michigan 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 Michigan business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
A ranking needs 8 firms at 70% evidence coverage. Ann Arbor has fewer than 8 at that coverage, so it compares firms alphabetically until more evidence comes in.
