Hawaii CPA Firm Renewal — What the Firm Itself Must File

Hawaii 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 Hawaii's firm-level filing is due.

Individual CPA license/permit and firm permit

December 31, 2027

Biennial. The CPA license (HRS § 466-5(j)) and the individual and firm permits to practice (HRS § 466-7) all expire December 31 of every odd-numbered year -- the same fixed date across all three credential types, no cohort split.

Last verified: 2026-07-30 · checked against the state's codified statute or administrative rule, not just a board webpage — if we can't verify a date against primary law, we say so instead of guessing (see how we verify every deadline). 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.
