About the Office
A Local Practice You Can Walk Into and Call by Name
The office of Rebecca A Hughes, CPA APC provides tax and accounting services to clients in Lake Charles and throughout Southwest Louisiana. This is a working local practice, not a call center and not an online-only service. When you call (337) 479-0007, you reach this office.
Returns are prepared here, reviewed with you, signed in the office, and e-filed. If you need a copy of a document from your file (a prior return, a Form 1099, a Schedule K-1), one call is all it takes.
Your information stays confidential. Federal law (Internal Revenue Code Section 7216) restricts how tax return information may be used or shared, and this office follows those rules on every file, every time.
