In 2024, HTB commemorated 100 years of remarkable achievements. From our extraordinary past to our promising future, HTB remains committed to empowering its clients.

A Century of Commitment

In 1924, founder Hannis T. Bourgeois established his practice on the 4th floor of the Roumain building in downtown Baton Rouge. What began as a small business with only a few team members has developed into a legacy of success. Over the span of a century, the firm has evolved into one of the largest CPA firms in Louisiana, with five offices and over 150 employees. Through every milestone, HTB has been a trusted partner, providing invaluable guidance to help their clients grow and succeed.

A Century of Success

2024 was a significant milestone for HTB as we celebrated 100 years alongside our amazing team, community, and clients. We’re grateful for the memories and achievements and we’re excited to continue serving Louisiana as your trusted partner in the years ahead.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our employees, clients, community, and anyone who has been a part of our journey. Together, we have achieved great success. We look forward to providing another century of service to Louisiana.

Our success is directly linked to the success of our employees, which is why we invest in our team by providing the proper resources, opportunities, and support needed to excel personally and professionally.

Our team is proud to give back to the communities in which we serve. From volunteering our time and expertise to supporting local initiatives and organizations, we are committed to making a positive impact where it matters most.
