CPA Peer Review – Seattle (WA)

AICPA Peer Review – Seattle (WA)

Seattle and Washington 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 Seattle Business Community

The Seattle business community stands as one of the most dynamic and globally influential in the United States, defined by a culture of innovation, a highly educated workforce, and a deep commitment to sustainability and technology. Long recognized as a birthplace of major corporate icons, Seattle continues to balance its legacy as a global headquarters city with a vibrant ecosystem of startups, research institutions, and creative industries. The presence of tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft has transformed the city into a global technology hub, attracting talent from around the world and inspiring a generation of entrepreneurs who continue to redefine the region’s economic identity. This concentration of technological expertise has created ripple effects across industries, driving advances in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, aerospace engineering, and digital commerce.

Seattle’s aerospace industry, led by Boeing’s historic presence, remains a cornerstone of the local economy and a vital driver of exports. While Boeing has diversified its operations globally, the company’s roots in the Puget Sound area have fostered a robust network of suppliers, manufacturers, and engineers who continue to sustain aerospace innovation. Alongside aerospace, life sciences and healthcare have emerged as major economic engines, supported by world-class research institutions like the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. These organizations have made Seattle an international leader in global health, biotechnology, and medical research, while also contributing to the city’s reputation for social impact and scientific advancement.
