Acquisition adds firm-level license management and state mobility to LCvista’s CPE compliance and learning capabilities; Polaris Growth Fund increases its investment in LCvista.
Seattle, WA August 13, 2026 –(PR.com)– LCvista, a professional readiness platform for the accounting profession, today announced it has acquired CPA QualityPro, a leading provider of license management and state mobility solutions for accounting firms. As part of the transaction, LCvista’s lead investor, Polaris Growth Fund (PGF), has increased its investment in the company.
The acquisition builds on LCvista’s CPE compliance and learning and development capabilities, extending the platform into firm-level licensure and state mobility. LCvista is now the only platform built specifically for accounting firms that combines expertise and data across CPE, learning, licensure, and mobility. Customers can now access a comprehensive, unified view of professional readiness so they can pursue growth opportunities with confidence.
With CPA QualityPro’s technology, LCvista customers can determine exactly which jurisdictions their firm and individual professionals are authorized to practice in. That clarity matters because license mobility regulations vary by state, have been changing frequently, and have grown harder to interpret as alternative licensure pathways introduce more variation in how requirements are met.
LCvista currently supports more than 400 accounting firms, including 80% of the top 200 firms in the country.
“Firms have told us again and again that they need a scalable way to know whether their firm and their people are ready to practice right now, for this client, in this state,” said Mark Rothert, CEO of LCvista. “Bringing CPA QualityPro into LCvista lets us give customers a fuller picture of professional readiness than any other solution — combining CPE, learning, and now licensure and mobility in a single system of record.”
“CPA QualityPro has always focused on helping firms navigate the complexity of licensure and mobility with confidence,” said Lindsay Patterson, CEO of CPA QualityPro. “What we consistently hear from clients is that this challenge doesn’t exist in isolation — it sits alongside CPE and broader compliance. By joining LCvista, we can bring those pieces together and give firms a more complete, practical way to manage readiness as they take on new work and deploy their people.”
“The complexity of managing both individual and firm readiness has only increased as firms expand nationally and licensure requirements continue to evolve,” said Andrew Prather, Audit Shareholder and Quality Management Director at Clark Nuber PS. “Bringing CPA QualityPro’s licensure and mobility expertise together with LCvista’s leadership in CPE and learning gives firms a much more complete picture of readiness. That gives firms greater confidence as they expand into new jurisdictions and service areas.”
“The LCvista platform has expanded significantly since our initial investment, and we’re excited to continue supporting Mark and this exceptional team as they execute on the next phase. As AI rapidly changes how software creates value, we believe the most impactful companies will be those that apply proprietary data to solve strategic customer challenges,” said Dan Lombard, Managing Partner at Polaris Growth Fund. “LCvista’s position at the intersection of compliance and professional expertise provides a uniquely strong foundation to deliver that value.”
The combined company will give accounting firms a single source of truth for professional readiness across both individuals and the firm as a whole — including CPE compliance, goal-oriented learning and development, and licensure and mobility tracking — helping firms confidently pursue and staff client work in any jurisdiction.
