Where do I find a bookkeeper in Minnesota?

We reviewed 237 firms in Minnesota: 64 met the listing bar, but none reached 70% evidence coverage, so no list in Minnesota can be ranked yet.

Start with the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro page, the only one in Minnesota, which lists 40 firms but doesn't have enough third-party evidence to rank yet, so it compares firms without an order. 24 more firms outside that metro are listed below.

Outside the metro pages: 78 profiles reviewed, 24 met the listing bar, 0 scored (evidence coverage of 70% or more).

How we check firms in Minnesota

Across all 64 firms we list in Minnesota, 4 publish a price or a starting price and 57 say nothing about fees. The share publishing, 6%, compares with 10% nationally.

Without Minnesota records we can match, the evidence here is what firms publish about themselves, and that alone stops short of the 70% coverage a ranking needs. Median evidence coverage here is 69%. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Minnesota Board of Accountancy lookup.

What a bookkeeper tracks in Minnesota

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.Your Minnesota filing schedule follows your average monthly sales and use tax. Under $100 a month you file annually, by February 5 of the next year. From $100 to $500 you file quarterly, by April 20, July 20, October 20 and January 20. Over $500 a month you file monthly, by the 20th of the following month.Minnesota Department of Revenue, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Income tax withholding.Most employers file Minnesota withholding returns quarterly, due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Annual filing, due January 31, is only open to employers with $500 or less of withholding in the prior calendar year.Minnesota Department of Revenue, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Unemployment wage reports.Employers covered by Minnesota unemployment insurance submit a wage detail report each quarter. It must be received by April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31, and a zero wage report is still due for a quarter with no employees.Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • Annual renewal.Most business entities renew with the Minnesota Secretary of State every year, and the deadline is December 31. For most entity types the renewal is free. A missed renewal leads to administrative dissolution and a fee to reinstate.Minnesota Secretary of State, checked Sep 26, 2026
  • CPA title.Without a Minnesota CPA certificate or a practice privilege, a person can't use the title certified public accountant or the abbreviation CPA. The statute also bars titles likely to be confused with it, such as licensed accountant or public accountant.Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes, checked Sep 26, 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check a bookkeeper's CPA license in Minnesota?

Search the firm or the person on the Minnesota 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.

How can I confirm a Minnesota bookkeeping firm is a registered business?

Search its legal name on the Minnesota business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
