About Alpine CPAs

Independent Counsel.
Exceptional Depth.

Founded in 2017 and rooted in Bellevue, Washington, Alpine CPAs is an independent firm built on one conviction: every client deserves expert, personalized attention — not a one-size-fits-all approach. We specialize in serving individuals, families, trusts, estates, and small businesses.

Our team brings a remarkable breadth of experience — drawn from Big Four and national firms, international practices, and boutique specializations across real estate, high-net-worth planning, and estate strategy. That depth of knowledge, combined with the responsiveness of an independent firm, means you receive sophisticated guidance with a level of personal attention that larger practices simply cannot offer.

As a truly independent firm, we are free to focus entirely on what matters most: your success and peace of mind. We work collaboratively alongside your existing financial planners, brokers, and attorneys to provide a coordinated, seamless experience.
