Question 1

Do you help start a new LLC in Louisiana?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New-business work is a core part of the practice: LLC and entity formation, registration with local and state authorities, business plans, EINs, books, and a first-year tax calendar. We do not hand you a form and disappear.

Question 2

Do you prepare S-corp and rental property tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. S-corporation returns, reasonable compensation, payroll, Schedule E rentals, and passive-loss reporting are a core part of the practice — not add-ons.

Question 3

Do you work with clients in Monroe and West Monroe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The office is in Columbia. Clients come from Monroe, West Monroe, Ouachita Parish, Winnsboro, Jena, and the rest of the North Louisiana corridor. Remote work is available when the files support it.

Question 4

I am behind on the books. Can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Catch-up and cleanup is how a lot of engagements start. We get current, then we decide what ongoing bookkeeping and tax planning should look like.

Question 5

Do you only do full-service, or can you just prepare the returns?

Accepted Answer

We can prepare returns only. The better result is usually year-round work — books, estimates, and a plan — but we will not force a package you do not need.

Question 6

Do you work with S-corps and rental properties?

Accepted Answer

That is a core part of the practice: S-corp compensation and payroll, rental real estate, passive activity rules, and how those pieces show up on the 1040.

Question 7

How do you price?

Accepted Answer

After a consult we quote based on the actual work — entity count, bookkeeping condition, payroll, and returns. No website calculator pretending every business is the same.

Question 8

Do I need to come to Columbia?

Accepted Answer

Many clients are in Caldwell Parish and the Monroe area and meet in the office. We also work remotely when the files and the conversation are enough.

Question 9

How long does onboarding take?

Accepted Answer

A clean set of books can start in a couple of weeks. A multi-year cleanup takes longer. We will tell you which one you have before you sign.

Question 10

Are you a licensed CPA in Louisiana?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Daniel Robinson is a certified public accountant. The firm is Daniel Robinson CPA, LLC, at 6997 Highway 165, Suite 1, Columbia, LA 71418. Call 318-649-5400.

Question 11

Can you form my LLC and register it with the state?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New-business work is a specialty: Louisiana LLC or other entity formation, Secretary of State filings, local occupational licenses, EIN, a usable business plan, and the first-year books and tax calendar.

Question 12

Do you write business plans for bank loans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We write practical startup plans and projections a bank, a partner, or the owner can use — not a 40-page template downloaded from the internet.

Question 13

Are you a national tax mill or a local firm?

Accepted Answer

Local. One CPA, one office in Columbia. Not H&R Block, not Jackson Hewitt, not a call center. Clients in Caldwell Parish, Monroe, West Monroe, and North Louisiana work with Daniel Robinson directly.
