Know exactly when your license is due —
and see the rule that says so.
Every date traced to your state board's own statute or rule where we could confirm it, clearly labelled where we could only confirm it against the board's own page, and stamped with the day we last checked it.
Type your state and press Enter or select it to go straight to its page.

In the remaining 13, renewal turns on a personal fact — your birth month, cohort or issue date — or the board publishes no verifiable date. You enter the date on your license and we track it. We would rather say that than round up.
What a lookup actually gives you
A fact sheet you could hand to a partner.
Pick a state below. Each line shows the requirement, the exact legal source behind it, and when we last confirmed it — so you can verify it yourself in one click. Here's Illinois as an example:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Right now: Our two primary sources for District of Columbia disagree about parts of its mobility rule. The individual practice-privilege section we cite here was amended by emergency legislation effective 2026-08-10 -- that amendment has now been captured from the D.C. Council's own bulk-download channel (see the separate rule-change entry for D.C. Act 26-399) but remains single-source pending re-verification. A separate, still-unresolved conflict remains on the firm side: the statute exempts most no-office out-of-state firms from registering for non-attest work, while older compiled regulations still on the books read as requiring a permit of every nonresident firm. We record the stricter reading and withhold a determination rather than guess. See all 7 →
Built for firms too
One roster, not twenty separate inboxes.
Free reminders above are for tracking your own individual license, always at no cost. If you're the one keeping track of a whole firm's staff across multiple states, the firm dashboard below is the same sourced-to-codified- law data in one roster view — who's current, who's at risk, and who needs to act.
Real screenshot of our own shared live demo account — the same one you land on if you click "Live Demo" above — not a mockup. See the full product tour →
Roster, calendar, and CPE tracking are free, up to 3 staff, no card required, no time limit. Firm plans from $199/year (up to 5 staff) to $549/year (up to 35 staff) add the multistate map and practice-privilege check — every paid tier has the identical feature set, gated only by staff count. See the firm overview → · Full pricing (incl. individual) →
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.

Questions people ask before signing up
Is this actually free?
Yes. Individual reminders, CPE-hour tracking, and individual Practice Privilege Check (one person, one target state) are all free, no card required, no time limit -- for any account, solo or with a whole firm's roster. Paid firm plans exist for the multistate Map and firm-level registration check.
How do you actually verify the dates?
Every renewal date is sourced to the codified statute or board rule where we could confirm it, and clearly labelled where we could only confirm it against the board's own page -- cited and rechecked on a regular freshness cadence, never guessed or estimated. See exactly how, state by state.
Will you sell my email or spam me?
No. We only email you deadline reminders. We never sell or share your address, and unsubscribing is one click, anytime, with no account or login required.
My state's rule depends on my birth month (or I already know my exact date) -- can you still track it?
Yes. Some states compute your deadline from your birth month automatically; others let you enter your own known renewal or expiration date directly ("bring your own date"). Either way it shows up as one tracked deadline with the same escalating reminders.
Are you affiliated with my state board of accountancy?
No. Deadline-Radar is an independent reminder and license-tracking service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any state board of accountancy, NASBA, or the AICPA. Always confirm your exact renewal date with your own board if you're ever unsure.
I'm tracking a whole firm's staff, not just my own license -- is there something for that?
Yes -- see the firm overview. Roster, calendar, CPE tracking, and individual Practice Privilege Check are free there too; paid tiers add a multistate map and the firm-level registration check.
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.
