New Mexico publishes records we can match, so we could check every firm we list in New Mexico against them: 8 firms with an active CPA license or permit on New Mexico's published register. The CPA records we matched belong to Zlotnick & Sandoval, Jordan CPA, P.C., Ryan Breedyk & Associates, LLC and Granite Mountain Accounting. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the New Mexico Public Accountancy Board 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 New Mexico Public Accountancy Board 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 New Mexico business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
