What the evidence shows
Pricing
Pricing is where these sites say least: 8 of 10 are silent on fees, 1 say they quote each job, and 1 publish a monthly figure. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Tru Accounting Services LLC ("$325/month"). Across Washington, the share publishing a monthly price is 4%, so this group is ahead of its state. Get the monthly fee, the transaction volume it assumes and what counts as extra in writing.
Licenses and public records
Because Washington publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 3 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Washington's published register. The CPA records we matched belong to Northwest CPA Group, PLLC, Baker & Giles, P. S. and Moody, Mickelsen, Rowley & Adamson, P.S. 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 Washington State Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
Numbered scores on this list run from 49 down to 27, and the median across every scored firm is 30. 2 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: Tru Accounting Services LLC (49 at 80% coverage), Northwest CPA Group, PLLC (36 at 77% coverage) and Tri-Cities Tax & CPA (32 at 77% coverage). Kennewick has the most numbered firms (3), and the list spans 3 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.
