What the evidence shows
Pricing
87% of the firms on this page say nothing about what they charge. 2 of 15 show a monthly price or a starting price, and none say they quote. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: KD Accounting & Tax ("$149/mo") and Dlp Consulting Wny 2 ("$350 per month"). That's more open than New York as a whole, where 3% publish a monthly price. Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
1 of 15 says it takes on catch-up or cleanup work, which matters if your books are months behind. On this page that's KD Accounting & Tax. 2 of 15 state how often reports arrive, and 1 describe how onboarding works. Nationally 24% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (20%); after it come QuickBooks Online 13% and Sage 7%. If you run Xero, KD Accounting & Tax names it. Remote work is stated by 4 of 15; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
Because New York publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 2 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The New York 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 New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions, State Board for Public Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 39 and 66; the median across every scored firm is 39. 4 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: KD Accounting & Tax (66 at 83% coverage), Marlies Y Hendricks CPA PLLC (44 at 84% coverage) and Moscato CPA (39 at 84% coverage). Buffalo has the most numbered firms (4), and the list spans 2 towns in all. A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
