CPAs in Burien

56 certified public accountants are licensed to practise and on the Board’s record in Burien — 0.2% 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 Burien. Someone with a Burien address may serve clients across the state, and a firm in Burien 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 Burien 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 Burien 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

13 of the 56 CPAs on the record in Burien were first licensed before 2000 — 23.2%. By decade of first licence:

Board orders

None of the 56 licences held in Burien 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 Burien

Alongside the 56 individually licensed CPAs, the Board lists 5 registered CPA firms with a Burien 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.
