Shreveport's Oldest CPA Firm Has Been Getting the Numbers Right Since 1946

Are your finances being handled by someone who genuinely understands the complexity of your situation — or is tax season just an annual scramble?

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana — Heard, McElroy & Vestal, LLC has been one of the most respected accounting firms in Northwest Louisiana since it was founded in Shreveport in 1946. With nearly eight decades of practice in this region, the firm brings a depth of institutional knowledge and professional expertise that extends well beyond tax preparation — and serves clients who need a real financial partner, not just someone to fill out forms once a year.

Their services cover the full spectrum of accounting and advisory work: tax planning and preparation for individuals and businesses, audit and assurance services, retirement plan administration, and business valuation. For business owners in particular, the firm's combination of local knowledge and professional capability provides the kind of guidance that directly impacts how a company is structured, how it grows, and how its owners eventually transition out of it. Operating from Regions Tower in downtown Shreveport, the firm serves clients across Louisiana and East Texas from a central, accessible location.

Clients describe Heard, McElroy & Vestal as a firm where the accountants actually know your situation year over year — not a rotating cast of preparers who are meeting you for the first time every April. "They've helped us make better decisions about our business for more than twenty years," one long-term business client noted. Others point to the firm's proactive communication — flagging tax planning opportunities and regulatory changes before they become problems rather than after.

Heard, McElroy & Vestal is located at 333 Texas Street, Suite 1525 in Shreveport — in Regions Tower at the heart of downtown's business district.
