Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Baton Rouge, LA

Overview

Frazer & Persac, LLC is a certified public accounting practice in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It serves business owners, executives, independent professionals and private individuals. Buyers comparing accounts payable options should view it as a full-service CPA office rather than a dedicated AP automation vendor. The firm does not advertise a standalone payables product or proprietary software. Its bookkeeping, small business accounting and QuickBooks work covers the routine financial recordkeeping that companies often prefer to hand to an outside accountant.

Accounting and Bookkeeping Support

The business services group is designed for owners who would rather focus on operations than maintain ledgers themselves. The firm will take over a company's books entirely and provides ongoing bookkeeping for clients in many fields. It also processes payroll.

Compilations are offered at several levels of assurance, so statements can be matched to the expectations of lenders, shareholders or outside investors. Cash flow management stands out for payables-minded buyers: the team prepares cash flow projections that help owners anticipate shortfalls and plan outgoing payments before money gets tight.

• Outsourced bookkeeping and small business accounting
• Payroll processing
• Cash flow projections and management
• Compiled financial statements
• QuickBooks setup, training, troubleshooting and file tune-ups

QuickBooks Expertise

For companies that manage bills and vendors inside QuickBooks, the firm offers a dedicated set of services around that platform. These include:

• Help choosing whether the software fits the business
• Initial configuration
• Staff training
• Answers to day-to-day user questions
• Tune-ups for files that have become disorganized

The firm regards QuickBooks as well suited to small and mid-sized companies, which reflects its core client base.

Industries and Related Services

The firm lists specialized experience with the following sectors:

• Construction contractors
• Dental practices
• Healthcare providers
• Hospitality businesses
• Law firms
• Manufacturers
• Real estate

It also assists non-profit organizations, where careful classification of income and expenses matters for keeping tax-exempt status. Beyond bookkeeping, clients can draw on business and individual tax return preparation, tax planning, and estate and trust taxation. IRS representation is available for audits, payroll tax problems, liens, levies, wage garnishments, payment plans and offers in compromise. Advisory work covers strategic planning, financial planning and analysis for businesses, succession planning for family companies, and help forming new entities.

Team and Approach

The firm operates from a single office in Baton Rouge and has served local individuals and businesses for many years. Its listed team includes:

• Shawn L. Frazer, CPA
• Melinda Francioni, CPA
• Brennan Rodeheaver, CPA
• Courtney Rahm
• Rennea Alfonso

The practice describes three guiding principles: professionalism, responsiveness and quality. It says it emphasizes clear communication and careful analysis of each client's circumstances, with the aim of keeping clients financially sound today while planning ahead for future goals. Clients exchange documents through a password-protected online portal and a secure file transfer tool.

For a small or mid-sized Louisiana company seeking a local CPA to handle bookkeeping, payroll and cash planning around its payables, rather than a software-only AP platform, Frazer & Persac offers that combination together with tax and advisory depth.
