Firms and advisers for people and businesses

Professional services

Professional services on LokalMatch cover the firms and advisers that people and businesses hire for expert work: attorneys, CPAs and bookkeepers, mortgage and insurance brokers, marketing and IT firms, consultants, recruiters, engineers, translators and more. Browse by category, then by service and city, to see who is listed near you.

Most of these professions are licensed state by state rather than nationally, so the same firm can be licensed in one state and not in another. Attorneys are admitted jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and each jurisdiction sets its own admission policies. CPAs are licensed by a state board of accountancy. Engineers, surveyors and architects are licensed by state boards. Insurance producers are licensed by state insurance regulators. Mortgage companies and loan originators are licensed through NMLS, whose free NMLS Consumer Access lookup confirms whether a company or professional is authorized to do business in your state. Before you hire, ask for the license number and the state that issued it, and check it with that regulator.

For some regulated professions, LokalMatch is a directory only for now: you can browse listed firms, but we don’t take requests for them and we don’t pass your details to anyone. Where requests are open, you describe what you need once and LokalMatch introduces you to firms that serve your area; firms pay for the requests they receive. You decide who to contact and who to hire. LokalMatch doesn’t do the work, doesn’t set fees, and doesn’t vet, rank or recommend anyone.

Before you hire a professional

  • Confirm their licence or registration, where the profession is regulated.
  • Ask how they charge, and get the scope and fees in writing.
  • Share only what’s needed to get started: never account numbers, identity documents or passwords.
  • Compare two or three firms before you decide.
