                                      I  would like to recommend the LSBA Board of Governors consider

                                      offering the LSBA membership the benefits that can be provided with a
                                      business relationship with  1-800Accountant.  1-800Accountant  is a

                                      member referral program focused on educating business owners while
                                      offering a complete suite of accounting solutions. 1-800Accountant has a

                                      network of 400 Certified Public Accountants (CPA) that offer year-round

                                      mobile app, payroll, auditing, and book-keeping services.

                                      When members sign up with 1-800Accountant they will be assigned a
                                      senior CPA to manage their book-keeping and year-round advisor needs.
                                      Senior CPA’s assigned to LSBA members  have an expertise in
