CPAs in Arlington

33 certified public accountants are licensed to practise and on the Board’s record in Arlington — 0.1% of everyone Washington currently licenses.

What the address on the record means, and what it does not

The Board records one place per licence holder. It is where the Board writes to them — not necessarily where they practise, and not a list of firms in Arlington. Someone with a Arlington address may serve clients across the state, and a firm in Arlington may be staffed by CPAs recorded elsewhere.

Read against that limit, the number is still worth something: it says how many people Washington currently licenses with a Arlington address, which is the closest a public register gets to the size of the local profession.

When they renew

Washington renews CPA licences every three years, between 1 January and 30 April. That splits Arlington into cohorts:

The deadline that actually bites is earlier: the 120 hours of continuing education must be complete by 31 December of the preceding year. How the three-year cycle works.

How long they have been licensed

11 of the 33 CPAs on the record in Arlington were first licensed before 2000 — 33.3%. By decade of first licence:

Board orders

None of the 33 licences held in Arlington has a Board order published against it. Note what that does and does not mean: the Board has published orders as documents only since 1 January 2020, so an older matter would not show here at all.

Registered CPA firms in Arlington

Alongside the 33 individually licensed CPAs, the Board lists 5 registered CPA firms with a Arlington address. The two registers are separate: a firm registration is not a licence held by any person, and the file does not say who works where.

1 of them — 20.0% — are sole proprietorships: one person practising under a trading name, with no separate entity behind it. Worth knowing before picturing an office. What each legal form means.
