CPA seal maker for an accountant stamp

A CPA seal maker for laying out a certified public accountant stamp: name, certificate number and state, in the round form most state boards expect.

Open the stamp maker

Accountancy is one of the professions where the stamp is doing identification rather than decoration, and where a state board rather than convention decides what goes on it. This lays out the usual arrangement, a ring carrying the state and the words CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT with the name and certificate number in the middle, and hands you the file.

Questions

What goes on a CPA seal?

Usually the accountant name as certified, the certificate or licence number, the state, and the words "certified public accountant". State boards of accountancy set the specifics and they differ, so check yours before relying on a layout.

Do all states require a CPA seal?

No. Some require one on particular reports, some make it optional, and some have dropped it. This is a design tool rather than a guide to any state rule, so treat the requirement as a question for your board.

Can I use it on a PDF report?

Yes, that is the usual case now. Download a transparent PNG and place it, or use the stamp on a PDF tool. Where the report has to be signed as well, the signing method is what binds it to the document.

Estamplab is a design tool. This page describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal, tax or financial advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it.
