Ranked by a combined quality score: star rating × log of review count. Firms with 1–2 reviews don't outrank firms with hundreds.
Ratings based on Google reviews. Updated 2026. About our data →
CPA Locator ranks firms in San Diego using a blended score: Google rating multiplied by the log of review count. This keeps the rankings grounded in both quality and review depth. Firms with stronger public proof of trust tend to perform better than firms with only a small number of reviews.
To qualify for ranking, firms must be active, have a Google rating of at least 4.0, and have at least 3 reviews. We currently considered 162 firms under those thresholds in San Diego. You can review the broader sourcing and methodology details on our data and methodology page.
