What the evidence shows

Pricing

86% of the firms on this page say nothing about what they charge. 4 of 64 show a price or a starting price, and 5 say they quote. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Caro & Associates ("$750 PER MONTH"), North Pacific Accounting ("$495 /Month") and Tax Centers Of Ameri ("$1000 a month"). Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.

Services and process

11 of 64 say they take on catch-up or cleanup work, which matters if your books are months behind. 17 of 64 state how often reports arrive, and 9 describe how onboarding works. Nationally 21% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is above the norm.

Software and remote work

QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (36%); after it come QuickBooks Online 14% and QuickBooks Desktop 11%. Remote work is stated by 19 of 64; the filter above the list narrows to them.

Licenses and public records

Because Washington publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 25 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Washington's published register. 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 74 down to 25, and the median across every scored firm is 32. 12 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: Benton Bray PLLC (74 at 77% coverage), Caro & Associates (58 at 74% coverage) and The Nash Group P.S. Certified Public Accountants (57 at 74% coverage). Puyallup has the most numbered firms (5), and the list spans 16 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.
