Yes, as long it is in relation to a business activity as it would be a business expense that is both ordinary and necessary for the business operation. The above also includes Residential Rental Activities. 

Now if the scope of the service you receive from your CPA is limited to your Individual Tax Return (1040) with NO ASSOCIATIED BUISNESS ACTIVITY, then you will not be able to claim the CPA services as an expense.
