The CPA Firms website names Vermont accountants as well as their websites and email addresses. Finally, the Accountants World website lets you search for accountants by state.

One way to determine this is by their affiliation with recognized accounting associations and clubs on the state and national level. Finding out that a Vermont accountant has allowed their licenses to expire for example, should be a red flag that they aren't as professional as they may claim to be.

CPADirectory is another option for checking the credentials of specific Vermont accountants.
