Alaska CPA Firm Renewal — What the Firm Itself Must File

Alaska firm registration/permit — not individual license renewal

A CPA firm's own registration or permit to practice renews separately from any individual staff CPA's license — and it's usually the filing that falls through the cracks, because it belongs to whoever handles firm admin, not to a specific licensee tracking their own renewal. Here's exactly when Alaska's firm-level filing is due.

Biennial. All CPA firm permits share the same statewide fixed licensing period as individual licenses. 12 AAC 04.280(c) establishes the biennial mechanic and a December 31 filing deadline; it does not itself name which two-year window is current. The current window -- January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 -- is confirmed directly on the Board's own CPA Firm Permit Renewal form (cpa4062.pdf), which states it in its own header. Exception: the same form states permits issued within 90 days of the expiration date run to the NEXT biennial expiration instead -- a firm newly permitted in the last 90 days of this window renews in 2029, not 2027.

Tracking this for more than one firm, or want someone else watching it?

Any individual CPA at your firm can already get free renewal reminders for their own license. What Deadline-Radar's firm tier adds is the view your admin doesn't get from 20 separate free sign-ups: one place to see the whole roster's status — including this firm-level filing — not 20 inboxes to hope someone's watching.
