Akopyan & Company, CPA

A Seattle-area CPA practice for owners and their families

This certified public accountancy practice supports business owners in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington, and also prepares personal returns. It is part of the Akopyan Group, which says it provides accounting expertise and proactive guidance to local businesses so that they can reach their potential. The firm describes itself as a partner invested in client success and not only a service provider, and its group recently grew when another CPA firm joined at the start of December 2025.

Tax returns for the business and the owner

Return preparation is one of its main services. A business affects the owner's own tax position, so the firm prepares both and checks that they fit together. The aim, in its words, is to hold liability down within the rules and to avoid surprises when returns fall due.

Bookkeeping and the Business Owners Package

The firm keeps the books and produces financial reports on time. The Business Owners Package builds on that with strategic guidance, a service the firm compares to a part-time chief financial officer. Clients receive regular check-ins, so the picture of where the company stands now and where it is going is updated through the year.

Payroll without the headaches

Payroll is handled by a partner company, Sound Payroll. A cloud-based portal lets the employer enter hours, after which payroll runs, including direct deposit and W-2 forms, and employees can view their records electronically.

Owner concerns the practice addresses

Typical concerns are whether the company's books are correct, uncertainty about how the money side of the company works, and payroll frustration. The firm positions its service as a way to give time back for running the business.

Writing on tax and personal finance

The practice publishes articles on topics such as preparing for a recession, tax effects of marriage, finances for new parents, retirement income after tax, and the idea of tax basis for property owners in King County. Appointments have at times been held by phone or online tools.
