# CPAs in Port Orchard, Washington — 62 in practice

> Every certified public accountant licensed by Washington State and on the record in Port Orchard: 62 in practice, with licence numbers and renewal years. Board of Accountancy data, collected 2026-08-21.

## CPAs in Port Orchard

**62** certified public accountants are licensed to practise and on the Board’s record in Port Orchard — 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 Port Orchard. Someone with a Port Orchard address may serve clients across
the state, and a firm in Port Orchard 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 Port Orchard 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 Port Orchard into cohorts:

| Renews by 30 April | CPAs in practice | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [2027](/renewal/2027.md) | 25 | 40.3% |
| [2028](/renewal/2028.md) | 22 | 35.5% |
| [2029](/renewal/2029.md) | 15 | 24.2% |

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

10 of the 62 CPAs on the record in Port Orchard were first licensed before 2000 — 16.1%. By decade of first licence:

| First licensed | CPAs in practice | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 2020s | 15 | 24.2% |
| 2010s | 24 | 38.7% |
| 2000s | 13 | 21.0% |
| 1990s | 8 | 12.9% |
| 1980s | 1 | 1.6% |
| 1970s | 1 | 1.6% |

### Board orders

**2** of the 62 licences held in Port Orchard has a Board
order published against it — 3.2%.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The
Board publishes each order as a signed document, and the document is the only
thing that can say what happened — so we link to it from the individual
record and nowhere else. Orders have been published as documents only since
1 January 2020; for anything earlier the Board asks that you call its
enforcement line on (360) 664-9266.

### Looking for a CPA in Port Orchard?

A licence is the legal minimum to practise, not a recommendation, and this site makes none. Tell us what you need and we pass the enquiry to people holding a current Washington licence — 62 of them are on the record in Port Orchard.

We vouch for nobody, and we have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. How we are paid is on the [privacy page](/privacy.md).

### Registered CPA firms in Port Orchard

Alongside the 62 individually licensed CPAs, the Board lists **5** registered CPA firms with a Port Orchard 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.

| [Limited Liability Company](/firm/limited-liability-company.md) | 2 | 40.0% |
