CPA Peer Review – Montpelier (VT)

AICPA Peer Review – Montpelier (VT)

Montpelier and Vermont CPA firms are required to undergo a firm peer review every three years – a requirement mandated by both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and state licensing agencies.

A peer review is an independent examination of a firm’s accounting and auditing practices by another CPA firm. The purpose is to build client confidence, enhance professional development, identify and mitigate risks, and to satisfy compliance requirements. The reviewer examines ethical requirements, human resources, client acceptance procedures and engagement performance and monitoring. Since the results of peer reviews are publicly available, working with an experienced provider who will carefully examine operations is critical.

About the Montpelier Business Community

The Montpelier business community reflects the character of Vermont’s capital city—small in scale, locally driven, and deeply connected to public service, creativity, and regional economic stability. As the smallest state capital in the nation, Montpelier’s economy is shaped heavily by government activity, with state agencies and legislative functions serving as major economic anchors and steady sources of employment. Beyond state government, the business landscape is built around a strong network of small businesses, professional service firms, independent retailers, and locally owned restaurants that contribute to the city’s walkable, community-focused downtown. The creative economy plays an important role, supported by local arts, cultural organizations, and a strong appreciation for craft, design, and local production. Montpelier’s economic identity is intertwined with Vermont’s broader values—sustainability, local sourcing, and civic engagement—leading to strong support for cooperatives, green businesses, and mission-driven enterprises. Proximity to institutions like the Vermont College of Fine Arts and regional nonprofits strengthens the knowledge and cultural sectors, while nearby agriculture and food producers contribute to a vibrant farm-to-table business ecosystem.
