What firms here charge

We verified a monthly bookkeeping price for one of the 43 firms on this list: Accounting Services Inc. publishes from $300 a month (up to 50 transactions a month and includes tax returns) on its own site, captured September 26, 2026 (source). For the other firms we have no verified monthly bookkeeping price; some may publish other pricing, so ask them for a quote.

How we check firms in Wisconsin

Across all 61 firms we list in Wisconsin, 2 publish a monthly price or a starting price and 53 say nothing about fees. That's close to the national share of 4%.

Wisconsin doesn't publish its CPA register or business registry in a form we can match, so most firms here stop below the 70% coverage a ranking needs. The website evidence still counts; it just can't carry a firm over the bar alone. Median evidence coverage here is 69%. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Accounting Examining Board lookup.

What a bookkeeper tracks in Wisconsin

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.

Sales and use tax. The Department of Revenue decides whether you file monthly, quarterly or annually, and a return is required for each period even when no tax is due. Returns are due the last day of the month after the period ends. Early monthly filers are the exception, due by the 20th. Wisconsin Department of Revenue, checked Sep 26, 2026
Income tax withholding. Monthly and quarterly withholding deposits are due the last day of the month after the period. Semi-monthly filers pay by month end for pay dates from the 1st to the 15th, and by the 15th of the next month for later pay dates. The annual reconciliation, Form WT-7, is due January 31. Wisconsin Department of Revenue, checked Sep 26, 2026
Unemployment contribution reports. If you're covered by Wisconsin's unemployment insurance law, you file a quarterly contribution report with the Department of Workforce Development, even in a quarter with no payroll. Reports are due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, checked Sep 26, 2026
Annual report. Corporations, LLCs and several other entity types file an annual report with the Department of Financial Institutions. A Wisconsin entity files during the calendar quarter of its registration anniversary, due by that quarter's last day. Foreign entities file by March 31. Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, checked Sep 26, 2026
The CPA title. It's an offense in Wisconsin to hold yourself out as a certified public accountant unless the state's examining board has granted you a CPA certificate. Wisconsin State Legislature, checked Sep 26, 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check a bookkeeper's CPA license in Wisconsin?

Search the firm or the person on the Accounting Examining 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.

How can I confirm a Wisconsin bookkeeping firm is a registered business?

Search its legal name on the Wisconsin business entity search. A sole proprietor trading under its own name may not appear, and that alone isn't a warning sign.
