Your books, handled by people who know Southeast Texas business
Hand off the books and see your real-time financial picture for one fixed monthly fee
Since 1950, Brammer, Begnaud, & Lattimore has kept the books for businesses across Port Arthur and Southeast Texas. Three generations of CPAs later, the team still believes bookkeeping should feel like one less thing on your plate, not one more headache on your desk.
Running a business here means dealing with hurricane season, swinging fuel costs, and cash flow that never reads the textbook. Our team has tracked those patterns for over seven decades, and that history shapes every ledger we touch. No jargon, no guesswork, just numbers you can act on.
Hand us your receipts, invoices, and bank statements. We’ll turn them into financial statements you can actually read, and you get your evenings back.
What our bookkeeping team takes off your plate
Bookkeeping sounds simple until you’re three months behind on reconciliations and can’t remember which transaction was which. Our seasoned team handles the detail work so you don’t have to:
- Transaction classification, so every expense lands in the right category from day one
- Monthly bank and credit card reconciliations, so your numbers match reality
- Financial statement preparation, including profit and loss statements and balance sheets you can hand to a lender or partner
- Ongoing ledger maintenance, catching errors before they snowball into a year-end mess
- Clean, organized records ready for tax season, an audit request, or a loan application
This isn’t a once-a-year cleanup. It’s a team that touches your books every month, the same way they have for clients since 1950. Most of our bookkeepers have worked with Port Arthur businesses for over a decade, which means they catch a misclassified expense or a missed deposit before it becomes a problem at tax time.
Real-time financial visibility through a secure online platform
You shouldn’t have to call your accountant to find out how your business is doing. Through our secure online platform, log in any time and see your current financial position: cash on hand, outstanding invoices, monthly expenses, all updated as our team works.
This service is part of our Outsourced Accounting bundle, a fixed monthly fee package that combines bookkeeping, payroll, and tax support into one predictable bill. No separate invoice for reconciliations. No surprise charge for asking a question.
You get the numbers, whenever you want them. We get to work. That’s the arrangement.

Our accounting and bookkeeping service runs on one fixed monthly fee. Call, email, ask a question, none of it changes your invoice. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before the month starts, every month, for as long as you’re a client.
