Leslie H. Redd
Certified Public Accountant
Verified Licensed
Location Maple Valley, Washington 98038
Leslie H. Redd is a certified public accountant (CPA) serving clients in Maple Valley, Washington.

Washington's thriving CPA market serves a no-income-tax state with robust technology, aerospace, and international trade sectors. The Washington State Board of Accountancy requires 150 semester hours for licensure. CPAs must complete 120 hours of continuing professional education every three years, including 4 hours of ethics and minimum technical requirements.

Key Tax Considerations: Washington has no state income tax but relatively high sales tax (including Business & Occupation tax on gross receipts) and complex local tax variations. CPAs focus on federal tax compliance, B&O tax (which applies to gross receipts regardless of profitability), sales and use tax, and preserving Washington's tax advantages. The concentration of technology companies creates strong demand for equity compensation planning, stock option taxation, and serving employees with restricted stock units. Multi-state issues are common, particularly with Oregon which has high income tax but no sales tax. Cross-border tax planning for Vancouver, WA (no income tax) versus Portland, OR (no sales tax) creates unique opportunities.

Industry Specializations: Technology and software (Seattle tech hub), aerospace and aviation (Boeing), international trade and logistics (major Pacific Rim port), healthcare systems, agriculture, forest products, tourism, manufacturing, and professional services are key practice areas. Seattle CPAs often specialize in technology startup accounting, equity compensation, venture capital, or serving the unique needs of employees at major tech companies with complex stock grants.

For CPA Professionals: The Washington Society of CPAs provides extensive resources across a geographically diverse state. Seattle dominates the market with technology concentration and sophisticated client base commanding top compensation, while Bellevue, Tacoma, Spokane, and Vancouver provide alternatives. The no-income-tax advantage attracts both practitioners and clients (especially from California and Oregon), though high cost of living in the Puget Sound area is a consideration. The combination of major technology companies, international trade, and Pacific Northwest lifestyle creates dynamic opportunities. The state's continued growth and business-friendly reputation maintain strong demand across practice areas.
