No firm on this page puts a price on its website. None of the 26 say they quote each client, and the other 26 say nothing about fees at all. A written scope with the fee and its limits is the thing to ask for on a first call.
None of the 26 sites here mentions catch-up or cleanup work, so ask about past months directly if you're behind. Fewer write down the process: 2 of 26 describe onboarding and 3 name a reporting schedule. Nationally 21% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
QuickBooks is the software named most, by 8 of 26 firms, ahead of QuickBooks Online 15%. 3 of 26 say they work with clients remotely, so a firm across the metro can still take you on.
Because West Virginia publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 14 firms with an active CPA license or permit on West Virginia's published register. Check any CPA claim yourself on the West Virginia Board of Accountancy lookup.
The numbered firms score between 20 and 48; the median across every scored firm is 26. 8 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: Suttle & Stalnaker, PLLC (48 at 74% coverage), Ovie D Gibson CPA AC (43 at 77% coverage) and Rollins Cleavenger and Rollins (43 at 77% coverage). Charleston has the most numbered firms (3), and the list spans 8 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.

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.
Not on their websites. None of the 26 say they quote each client, and the rest don't mention fees. Ask for the monthly fee and what it covers in writing.

(construction and contractors), Brennan, Piper & Assoc. (technology) and Accountant Fairmont, Morgantown, WV (nonprofits and manufacturing). It's self-reported, so ask for a client reference in your trade.
