Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CPA cost for a small business in Louisiana?

It depends on the size of your books, payroll, and tax needs. Estess CPAs does not use a one-size-fits-all rate. Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation and we will recommend only the bookkeeping, payroll, and tax work your business actually needs.

Do you offer bookkeeping services for businesses outside Belle Chasse and Luling?

Yes. Our offices are in Belle Chasse and Luling, and we work with small and medium-sized businesses across Plaquemines Parish, St. Charles Parish, and the greater New Orleans area.

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is the monthly recording of transactions, reconciling accounts, and keeping your records current. Accounting uses those records to produce financial statements, tax returns, and advice so you can make better business decisions.

Can Estess CPAs help set up or troubleshoot QuickBooks?

Yes. We are a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. We help with setup, cleanup, training, and day-to-day QuickBooks questions so the software matches how your business actually runs.
