Montana CPA Firm Renewal — What the Firm Itself Must File

Montana 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 Montana's firm-level filing is due.

Individual license and firm registration

December 31, 2026

Annual. All Montana license categories (CPA, Licensed Public Accountant) and firm registration expire December 31 of each year -- a single fixed date, no cohort split.

R. 24.101.413 (codified rule -- the state's own official ARM host serves no text for any section, but Cornell LII's mirror does and independently confirms this record) see the records →

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.
