US-wide remote roles
These listings give the whole United States, or just "Remote", as their location instead of a state (168 right now). They are the same on every state page, so check each one for state restrictions before you apply. The newest 3:
Working remotely in accounting from Washington
Seattle and Bellevue combine technology at Amazon and Microsoft, aerospace at Boeing, and large retail headquarters, which means heavy demand for stock compensation, revenue recognition, and technical accounting. The state business and occupation tax is a local quirk worth knowing.
Major hiring areas in the state include Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, Tacoma. Because these roles are remote, you are not limited to employers headquartered nearby: a Washington resident can work for a company in any state, which is what makes the remote market worth watching.
State income tax if you work remotely from Washington
Washington has no state income tax on wages, though it does levy a separate tax on large long term capital gains.
Because Washington does not tax wage income, take home pay on the same salary is higher than in most states. Note that you can still owe tax to another state in limited cases, so confirm your situation with a tax professional.
CPA licensing in Washington
CPA licenses are issued by state, not federally. Candidates in Washington are licensed through the Washington State Board of Accountancy. Many remote roles do not require a CPA at all, and some employers accept a license from any state, so check the listing before ruling yourself out.
