About The Company
Established in 1924, Hannis T. Bourgeois, LLP (HTB) is one of the oldest, largest and most respected local certified public accounting firms in Louisiana. The firm currently has a staff of more than 120 individuals, of which over half are CPAs. HTB is committed to delivering valuable business insights and advice to assist our clients in their success. Clients want more than numbers from their CPA firm. They want someone who can advise them about their business and assist them in obtaining their objectives. They also want a sounding board for their ideas and guidance for their growth. All of HTB’s efforts are directed toward achieving these objectives. HTB is a member of Allinial Global, one of the largest and most successful accounting associations today. This membership enables us to provide our clients with a wealth of resources not usually found in a local firm. This wide range of technical and industry specific resources allows us to better serve our clients and enables us to offer our clients the benefit of access to national firm expertise while maintaining the close personal attention of a smaller firm. The HTB standards for quality service insure that we listen to our clients, pay attention to detail, understand our clients’ businesses, anticipate their needs, be accessible, and surpass our clients’ expectations. These are the elements that deliver excellence.
