What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page publishes a monthly price. 1 of 18 says it quotes each client, and 15 say nothing about fees at all. Get the monthly fee, the transaction volume it assumes and what counts as extra in writing.

Software and remote work
QuickBooks is the software named most, by 6 of 18 firms, ahead of QuickBooks Online 22% and QuickBooks Desktop 6%. Remote work is stated by 5 of 18; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
Without Louisiana records we can match, the evidence here is what firms publish about themselves, and that alone stops short of the 70% coverage a ranking needs. Median evidence coverage here is 70.5%.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 27 and 63; the median across every scored firm is 23. 6 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: Accounting Services Unlimited LLC (63 at 75% coverage), Rita M. Borne, CPA (38 at 73% coverage) and Macke & Company, CPAs (27 at 73% coverage). Metairie has the most numbered firms (2), and the list spans 2 towns in all. A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
