# CPAs in Ellensburg, Washington — 36 in practice

> Every certified public accountant licensed by Washington State and on the record in Ellensburg: 36 in practice, with licence numbers and renewal years. Board of Accountancy data, collected 2026-08-21.

## CPAs in Ellensburg

**36** certified public accountants are licensed to practise and on the Board’s record in Ellensburg — 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 Ellensburg. Someone with a Ellensburg address may serve clients across
the state, and a firm in Ellensburg 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 Ellensburg 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 Ellensburg into cohorts:

| Renews by 30 April | CPAs in practice | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [2027](/renewal/2027.md) | 15 | 41.7% |
| [2028](/renewal/2028.md) | 15 | 41.7% |
| [2029](/renewal/2029.md) | 6 | 16.7% |

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](/renewal.md).

### How long they have been licensed

9 of the 36 CPAs on the record in Ellensburg were first licensed before 2000 — 25.0%. By decade of first licence:

| First licensed | CPAs in practice | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 2020s | 9 | 25.0% |
| 2010s | 13 | 36.1% |
| 2000s | 5 | 13.9% |
| 1990s | 3 | 8.3% |
| 1980s | 4 | 11.1% |
| 1970s | 2 | 5.6% |

### Board orders

None of the 36 licences held in Ellensburg 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 Ellensburg

Alongside the 36 individually licensed CPAs, the Board lists **4** registered CPA firms with a Ellensburg 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 — 25.0% — 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](/firm.md).

| Legal form | Firms here | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Sole Proprietorship](/firm/sole-proprietorship.md) | 1 | 25.0% |
| [Limited Liability Partnership](/firm/limited-liability-partnership.md) | 1 | 25.0% |
| [Professional Corporation](/firm/professional-corporation.md) | 1 | 25.0% |
| [P.S. Corporation](/firm/p-s-corporation.md) | 1 | 25.0% |
