Accounting and bookkeeping classes in Seattle, Washington
57 accounting and bookkeeping programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
14 schools offer these accounting and bookkeeping programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area, and every one is approved for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Bookkeeping and accounting clerks record and check financial data so an organization keeps complete, accurate books. Some employers want college classes or a degree in accounting, others hire people with a high school diploma and train them on the job; certification is not usually required.1 Anyone paid to prepare or help prepare federal tax returns needs a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) from the IRS.2
In Seattle, 10 of the 57 programs take students without a high school diploma, 28 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 19 ask for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 57 programs here are bookkeeping certificate or course (31 programs), accounting (associate degree, 12 programs), accounting certificate (10 programs), payroll (3 programs), and 1 more of one other kind.

Where the Seattle accounting and bookkeeping program numbers come from
Which Seattle accounting and bookkeeping programs are on this list?
These are the accounting and bookkeeping programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the Washington page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.
How the prices and results of Seattle accounting and bookkeeping programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
