CPAs in Renton

302 certified public accountants are licensed to practise and on the Board’s record in Renton — 1.2% 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 Renton. Someone with a Renton address may serve clients across the state, and a firm in Renton 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 Renton 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 Renton 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

40 of the 302 CPAs on the record in Renton were first licensed before 2000 — 13.2%. By decade of first licence:

Board orders

1 of the 302 licences held in Renton has a Board order published against it — 0.3%.

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.

Registered CPA firms in Renton

Alongside the 302 individually licensed CPAs, the Board lists 27 registered CPA firms with a Renton 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.

7 of them — 25.9% — 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.
