How we verify

Two independent sources, or we don't publish a date.

This site's verification standard is stricter than most paid services. It's the whole reason a CPA can rely on this.

STANDARD 01

The board's own page

We start at the state board of accountancy's official renewal and CPE pages — the operational source of truth CPAs already trust.

STANDARD 02

The codified law

Then we confirm it against the actual statute or administrative rule — codified law, not a second webpage or a vendor's summary.

STANDARD 03

Agree, or it's null

If the two don't agree, we don't guess — we mark it unverified rather than publish a date we can't stand behind.

Read our full verification standard →

How it works: each state page shows the actual next renewal deadline (or, where the rule depends on your birth month, a full lookup table) computed from the verified renewal rule, with a link back to the official source and a "last verified" date.

Also see our guides: CPE requirements vs. license renewal, common CPA renewal mistakes, and the Missouri renewal guide.

One email before it matters.

We'll remind you ahead of your renewal deadline — and again for your CPE, if your state tracks it separately. Set it once.

We only email you deadline reminders. We never sell or share your address. Unsubscribe anytime.

  • Reminders at 60, 30, 14, 7, 3, and 1 day before your deadline
  • Works whether your date is computed automatically or the rule needs your own license details
  • One-click unsubscribe, no account or login required
