General Information

Where is the new office?
5551 Corporate Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA, 70809 (corner of Corporate Blvd. and Park Plaza Dr.)

When is HTB moving?
Our anticipated relocation date is January 2027. Additional details will be shared as the move approaches.

Why is HTB moving?
We have grown. The new office was built for us and provides expanded workspace, modern amenities, and better collaboration areas for a team that now numbers more than 150 people. As Managing Partner Jay Montalbano put it when the project was announced, Baton Rouge has been central to our identity and our success since our first office downtown in 1924, and this investment reflects our confidence in the region’s future.

Will HTB’s phone number or email address change?
No, our main office phone number, fax number, and email addresses will remain the same.

Is HTB merging, being acquired, or changing ownership?
No. Hannis T. Bourgeois remains an independent firm under the same partnership. This is a relocation driven by growth, nothing more.

Visiting Our New Office

Where do I go when I arrive?
We are located on the first and second floors of the building. Our reception is in the main foyer when you enter the building.

Is the new office accessible?
Yes. The building offers accessible parking, an accessible entrance, and elevator service to our floor. If you need any accommodation for a visit, please tell us when you schedule a visit and we will make arrangements.

What are the office hours?
Regular hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Extended hours during tax season will be posted on our website and shared by email in January.

Where can I drop off documents?
During business hours, bring documents to our reception desk. You may also send documents through our secure client portal at any time, which is the fastest and most secure option.

Will meetings and appointments be affected?
We will confirm meeting locations with clients as needed during the relocation. Phone and video meetings are unaffected.

Client Services & Communication

Will my accountant or point of contact changing?
No. Your team remains the same. Everyone you work with today moves to the new office with us, so you will continue working with the people you know and trust.

Will my services or deadlines change?
No. The only change is our physical and mailing address. All other processes, deadlines and communication channels remain the same, and we have planned the move so that nothing slips during year-end work.

Will the client portal, e-signature links, or scheduling tools change?
No. Every link, login, and tool you use today works exactly as it does now. Nothing about the move requires you to create a new account or reset a password, and we will never email you asking you to do so.

Where do I send payments?
Beginning December 21, 2026, please send checks to 5551 Corporate Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA, 70808. Invoices issued after that date will show the new remittance address, and electronic payment instructions are unchanged.

Will my documents and records remain secure?
Yes. Physical files are moved under our standard confidentiality procedures using a bonded vendor, and they remain in our custody throughout. Electronic records are unaffected by the move, and access to the client portal continues without interruption.

Do I need to update anything on my end?
Two things. Please update our address in your own records and in any accounting or bill-pay system you use to send us mail or payments. If any tax notice, bank confirmation or third-party correspondence lists our office as an address of record, that should be updated as well. Your accountant can tell you which of your filings are affected.

Are any other HTB offices affected?
No. The relocation affects only our Baton Rouge office.

Mail, Payments, & Address Updates

Do I need to update HTB’s address in my records?
Yes. Please update our address in your records and relevant accounting or bill-pay systems once the move takes effect.

What happens to mail sent to the old address?
Mail addressed to our Tremont Drive location will be forwarded for at least 12 months.

Where should I send payments?
Payment instructions and the effective date for the new mailing address will be confirmed before the move.
