We reviewed 91 firms in Mississippi: 34 met the listing bar and 28 reached 70% evidence coverage, and 17 of them hold a numbered place on its one ranked list.
Start with the Gulfport-Biloxi metro page, the only one in Mississippi, which lists 9 firms but doesn't have enough third-party evidence to rank yet, so it compares firms without an order. 25 more firms outside that metro are listed below.
Outside the metro pages: 69 profiles reviewed, 25 met the listing bar, 22 scored (evidence coverage of 70% or more). 17 document at least 6 of the items we score and are ranked by Evidence Score; the other 5 are under the list as Also scored.

Firms outside the market pages that met the listing bar. A town gets its own page once it has 8 listed firms.
These firms reached 70% evidence coverage, but fewer than 6 of the items we score are documented for them, so they carry a score and no number.

Across all 34 firms we list in Mississippi, 1 publish a price or a starting price and 33 say nothing about fees. The share publishing, 3%, compares with 10% nationally.
Because Mississippi publishes its records as open data, the checks for every firm we list in Mississippi found 21 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The Mississippi CPA register isn't one we can search automatically, so a CPA license on these pages reads Not verified until someone checks the board by hand. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Mississippi State Board of Public 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 Mississippi State Board of Public 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 Mississippi business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
