Accounting SIC codes
Which SIC codes can be used by public accountants?
Standard Industrial Classification codes — SIC codes for short — are given to all businesses. These 4 digit codes are then used by government agencies, marketing companies, banks, academics and entrepreneurs, to understand and analyze the type of work a business is involved in.
CPA businesses fall into the major group 87 — all SIC codes for this industry will start with these numbers. You can then find out more about the business type by looking at the final digits. SIC code 8721 is used by Accounting, Auditing, and Bookkeeping Services.
The types of businesses using SIC code 8721 might include accountants, auditors and bookkeepers.
Also see SIC codes for management consulting.
