CPA firms in Seattle, WA
267 firms in Seattle employ at least one accountant the IRS lists as credentialed, and 214 of them are one-person practices. Grouped below by size, smallest first — because that is the shelf most people actually need.
Why the two counts differ. The firm list on this page covers the city of Seattle and comes from the IRS, which records every credentialed accountant, including sole practitioners working from home. The Census figures cover the whole Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA Metro Area and count only businesses with paid employees. Different areas, different definitions: the two numbers are not meant to match.

Only firms with a phone number on file are listed — without one the entry cannot be acted on. Sorted by postal area, alphabetically inside each: the IRS records a credential, not the quality of the work, and we have no basis to rank. Street addresses are deliberately not published; the ZIP is there so you can find someone on your side of town.
Which size fits you
The large national firms listed on this page audit public companies. They will not file a return for a plumbing business, and their minimum engagement is larger than most small firms bill in a year. Listing them is completeness, not a suggestion.
For a business under a few million in revenue the real choice is between a solo practice and a small firm. A solo is cheaper and knows your business personally; the risk is that one person is also one point of failure in March. A firm of two to five costs more and covers that, which is what you are paying the difference for.
The Seattle market in numbers
| Establishments | 692 | 53,258 nationwide |
|---|---|---|
| Employees | 7,789 | 556,558 nationwide |
| Average annual pay | $115,921 | $99,530 nationwide |
| Employees per firm | 11.3 | 10.5 nationwide |
At 11.3 employees per establishment against 10.5 nationally, Seattle is about the national average. In absolute terms that is a market of mid-sized practices. That tells you who you will be dealing with rather than what you will pay: where practices are one- and two-person shops you talk to the person doing the work, and where they are bigger you are likelier to get an account manager and cover through filing season.
Licensed CPA practices — audit, assurance, tax planning and advisory.

Questions
- How many CPA firms are there in Seattle?
- 267 firms in Seattle employ at least one accountant the IRS lists as credentialed, and 214 of those are one-person practices. Separately, the Census counts 692 accounting establishments with paid employees across the wider Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA Metro Area.
- Should I use a solo CPA or a larger firm?
- For a business under a few million in revenue the choice is between a solo practice and a firm of two to five. A solo costs less and knows your business personally, but one person is also one point of failure in filing season. National firms are listed here for completeness — their minimum engagements run into five figures and most do not take small-business clients.
- What do accountants earn in Seattle, WA?
- Average annual pay in this category is $115,921 across Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA Metro Area, against $99,530 nationally. Pay is a rough proxy for what a market charges: firms in expensive cities bill more because they pay more.
- How do I check that an accountant is actually licensed?
- The IRS publishes a directory of credentialed preparers, and every state board of accountancy runs a license lookup. The listings on this page come from the IRS record, which shows a credential — it does not say anything about the quality of the work, and this site does not rank firms.
