FAQ

CPA Lookup FAQ

How do I do a CPA license lookup?

Start by searching the CPA name, city, or license number on CPA Locator to compare profiles with registry-backed verification details. Then confirm the active status with the relevant state board before you hire.

Can I search by CPA license number here?

Yes. CPA Locator search now matches license numbers in addition to firm names, specialties, credentials, and profile content.

What does registry-backed mean?

Registry-backed profiles are matched to state-board or NASBA-style public registry records. That helps you see stronger trust signals such as license numbers, status, and public verification context.

Should I still verify a CPA directly with the state board?

Yes. CPA Locator helps you shortlist and compare firms faster, but final license verification should always be confirmed with the relevant state board because statuses can change.
