Accounting & Bookkeeping Services in Metairie, LA
ASU's primary office at 3939 N. Causeway Blvd has served Jefferson Parish businesses for over 25 years. Bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and QuickBooks — all under one roof.
Metairie's Accounting Firm — Not a National Chain
There is no shortage of accounting options in Metairie. What is harder to find is a firm that combines genuine local knowledge with the depth of service a growing business actually needs. ASU has operated from our N. Causeway Blvd office since our founding, and in that time we have built relationships with hundreds of Jefferson Parish businesses — from the sole proprietor opening her first retail account to the multi-location medical group managing payroll for forty employees.
Jefferson Parish has its own distinct tax environment. The parish-level sales tax, the unincorporated area rates, and the business licensing structure differ from Orleans Parish in ways that matter to your bottom line. ASU staff know these details because we work in them every day — filing Jefferson Parish returns, navigating the Metairie business landscape, and keeping up with changes to the local tax code that affect our clients.
Whether your business is on Veteran Highway, tucked into a strip mall near Clearview, or operating out of a professional office on Causeway, ASU brings the same standard of service: accurate books, timely filings, and a team that picks up the phone. Our Metairie clients get access to every service we offer — and the confidence that comes from working with a firm whose reputation is built right here in the community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ASU's main office in Metairie or New Orleans?
ASU's primary office is at 3939 N. Causeway Blvd, Suite 301, Metairie, LA 70002 — in the heart of the Greater New Orleans metro. While we serve clients throughout Louisiana and nationally via QuickBooks Online, Metairie is our home base. Jefferson Parish businesses can come to us in person or work with us entirely remotely.
What is the Jefferson Parish sales tax rate and how does filing work?
Jefferson Parish has its own parish-level sales tax that businesses operating there must file, in addition to the Louisiana state sales tax. The combined rate in unincorporated Jefferson Parish is among the higher rates in the metro area. ASU files Jefferson Parish sales taxes for all of our Metairie clients — it's included in our standard bookkeeping service.
How does ASU handle the accounting needs of Metairie's large retail and restaurant sector?
Metairie's retail corridor along Veterans Memorial Blvd and its many restaurants require specialized accounting: POS reconciliation, sales tax on food vs. non-food items, tip reporting, alcohol sales tracking, and multi-location reporting for chain locations. ASU has decades of experience with retail and food service accounting in Jefferson Parish.
Are there industry concentrations in Metairie where ASU has particular expertise?
Yes. Metairie has significant concentrations of medical and dental practices, law firms, insurance agencies, and real estate companies. ASU has specialized experience in each of these industries — including IOLTA trust accounting for attorneys, insurance reimbursement reconciliation for medical practices, and depreciation management for real estate investors.
Does working with ASU in Metairie require in-person meetings?
Not at all. Most of our Metairie client relationships run entirely through QuickBooks Online, secure file sharing, and phone or video consultations. You can drop off documents if you prefer, but most clients find that remote service is more convenient. We're also always available for in-person meetings at our Causeway Blvd office.
