Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Shreveport, LA

Overview

Matthews Accounting Group CPAs, LLC is a certified public accounting firm based in Shreveport, Louisiana. It works with households and companies throughout the Shreveport and Bossier City area. The firm is licensed in Louisiana, and each of its CPAs holds a Louisiana certificate.

Its office is in northwest Louisiana, but the firm says it works for private clients, owner-operated companies, larger corporate entities and self-employed professionals nationwide. That means employers outside the region can also engage it remotely. Some pages of its website also use the name Matthews Beaty & Company LLP.

Payroll and Business Accounting

The firm treats payroll as one part of a broader business accounting relationship rather than a standalone product. Its payroll offering aims to make a company's pay processes simpler and more efficient. Payroll sits alongside bookkeeping, small business accounting and business tax preparation, so payroll records, the general ledger and tax filings can be handled by the same team.

The firm also supports QuickBooks users with software setup, training, quick-answer help and tune-ups. It makes QuickBooks available for purchase through its site, which can help businesses that run payroll inside that platform.

Beyond payroll, business owners can draw on a wide menu of advisory work:

• Bookkeeping and small business accounting
• Part-time CFO support and cash flow management
• Compilations and financial statement preparation
• Business tax preparation and tax planning
• Tax resolution and representation before the IRS
• Help forming new companies, plus succession and strategic planning
• Assistance with bank financing, internal controls, business valuation and litigation support

Clients and Specialties

The firm lists non-profit organizations among the groups it serves, and one of its partners focuses on tax and nonprofit matters. It also advertises military tax services and help with international tax matters and global business work. These may be relevant to employers with service-member staff or cross-border operations. For individuals, it provides personal financial planning, retirement and estate planning, elder care assistance and individual tax preparation.

How the Firm Works

New clients start with a consultation. Staff ask about current accounting challenges and goals, then put together a tailored set of recommended services. Each client is paired with one assigned CPA who acts as the main contact and keeps track of that client's situation, so questions go to someone already familiar with the account.

Engagements can run in person or virtually. The firm offers a client portal and a secure file-transfer tool for exchanging documents. It describes its pricing approach as affordable, with the goal of keeping professional help within reach of budget-conscious clients. It also emphasizes explaining accounting and tax concepts in plain language.

Leadership

Managing Partner Bobby D. Matthews, CPA, CGMA, leads the team. Dr. Brian D. Prucey, EA, CFE, is a partner overseeing tax and nonprofit work, and Robert N. Touchstone, Jr., CPA, serves as senior tax manager. Their credentials span certified public accounting, enrolled agent status and fraud examination. Together they give Louisiana employers a local CPA firm that can coordinate payroll with tax compliance and wider financial planning.
