What the evidence shows
Pricing
None of these 12 websites shows a monthly fee. 1 of 12 says it works by quote, and 10 of 12 don't mention pricing. Across Washington, the share publishing a monthly price is 4%, so this group is behind its state. Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
If you're behind, start with the 3 firms that say they do catch-up or cleanup work. On this page that's Bizzy Bee Bookkeeping, Shepherd Financial Group and BSK Tax & Accounting Advisors, LLC. Fewer write down the process: 4 of 12 describe onboarding and 3 name a reporting schedule.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks Online leads the software firms here name (50%); after it come QuickBooks 25% and Gusto 25%. If you run Xero, Bizzy Bee Bookkeeping names it. Remote work is stated by 3 of 12; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
Washington publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 6 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Washington's published register. The CPA records we matched belong to Anderson Lampe, Kirchner & Jordan, Anderson Peretti & Co. and Mason Accounting. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Washington State Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 28 and 57; the median across every scored firm is 37.5. One more firm reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so it sits under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: Bizzy Bee Bookkeeping (57 at 83% coverage), Shepherd Financial Group (52 at 83% coverage) and Anderson Lampe (51 at 83% coverage). Spokane Valley has the most numbered firms (5), 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.
