Our goal is to help you build a successful business, from Louisiana business setup to retirement planning, we have specific services to free up your time to work on your business. Check out our business resources, make a list of your questions, and then call us at 337-528-aCPA (2272) for a free initial consultation.

We started in 2002 assisting Lake Charles small busineses and businesses in the surrounding areas. We have grown to service only small business owners in their quest for building a better business. In fact we have limited our services and do not offer audits, or work for large non profit organizations.

We begin by helping you with the basics. First there are many different entity types to consider as you begin your small business. Entities may include a sole proprietorship, partnership, S-Corporation, or regular corporation. If these terms seem like a foreign language, check out our page about Louisiana income taxes or call us today at 337-528-aCPA (2272) to discuss your situtation.

Second, are you registered with the correct taxing authorities? Louisiana small businesses generally need a Federal Identification Number (EIN) with the Internal Revenue Service, registration and filings with Louisiana Department of Revenue, and Calcasieu Parish Sales tax to name a few. Again, we can make your new Louisiana small business setup a breeze.

We then move into discussing your monthly accounting needs, and a structured manner to complete these tasks. Are you a skilled bookkeeper and want to do you own thing? Have you prematurely purchased QuickBooks accounting software? Do you need QuickBooks setup assistance? Perhaps you want to work on your business rather than in it, and would like us to hanndle your monthly bookkeeping? We do it all the time for Lake Charles small business owners and can do the same for you.

Do you need payroll? Again a tough area for many Louisiana business owners but we can make this easy as well. As professional payroll service providers look to helping make paying your employees easier. You hire Louisiana employees to help grow your business and make your life easier, not more taxing. Call us at 337-528-aCPA (2272) to discuss your payroll options.

There are many, many more services we offer as a Louisiana CPA firm serving the greater Lake Charles, LA area. From small business setup, monthly accounting work, and year end Louisiana income taxes to business improvement efforts and business growth and planning, we look to help you. Call us today at 337-528-aCPA (2272) for a free initial consultation.
