Connecticut CPA Firm Renewal — What the Firm Itself Must File
Connecticut 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 Connecticut's firm-level filing is due.
Annual renewal, fixed calendar date. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection's dedicated "Certified Public Accountancy Firms" page (a page specifically about firm permits, not bundled with individual-license content) states plainly: "All firm registrations expire annually on December 31st." The renewal statute (Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-281e(b)) confirms the annual cycle but delegates the specific renewal date to board regulation rather than fixing it in the statute itself -- no located regulation section states a firm-specific date, so December 31 comes from DCP's own current operational guidance, not yet from codified rule text.
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.
