Georgia CPA Firm Renewal — What the Firm Itself Must File

Georgia 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 Georgia's firm-level filing is due.

Firm license
June 30, 2028

Firm licenses expire June 30 of even-numbered years. Next: 2028-06-30. Firms WITH a physical office in Georgia are governed by R. 20-7-.01(2), which sets this same June 30 expiration and requires renewal before September 30 or the license lapses. Firms WITHOUT a Georgia office (out-of-state firms practicing under Ga. Code § 43-3-16(b)(1)(C)) are governed separately by R. 20-8-.01, which sets the identical June 30 date but a different consequence for lateness (a $250 fee after June 30, unlawful to practice without renewal). Most Georgia firm licensees have an in-state office and fall under R. 20-7-.01(2); the citation below leads with that rule.

Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.

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.
