We're excited to announce that Emma Williams, CPA has been named Faulk & Winkler's chief operating officer. As COO, Emma assesses, develops, and improves the firm’s infrastructure at the intersection of technology, processes, and people. Congrats, Emma! 🎉

“Emma has become an indispensable voice within our firm, and we are proud to elevate her into this important new role,” said Tommy LeJeune, Faulk & Winkler’s managing partner. “In one short year, she has improved the sophistication of our operations considerably, managing everything from software implementations and vendor management to team structure and interfacing with clients.” Emma represents one of the new hires since January 2025 who have grown our firm's headcount by 50%.

Most recently serving as senior operations manager, Emma joined Faulk & Winkler in July 2025. Since that time, she has implemented and streamlined internal systems, improved documentation for standard operating procedures, and optimized internal teams for efficient deployment of talent.

Before moving back to Baton Rouge and joining Faulk & Winkler, Emma spent eight years in major national markets providing internal audit and risk advisory services with a leading global accounting firm. She performed specialty attestation and Systems and Operational Controls (SOC) reporting and advised clients on data security and information processing compliance.

Mid-year is the time to look ahead, not wait until December.

The new tax law includes several updates that may affect business planning, including 100% bonus depreciation, the permanent Section 199A deduction, and an expanded employer-provided childcare credit.

These changes may create planning opportunities, but timing matters.

This July, we're celebrating one year with NeKivia! 🎉

NeKivia joined us as a GSG Senior, bringing her CPA and CFE credentials and a strong background in governmental auditing. Her passion for giving back, including volunteering with United Way's Dollars & Sense Program to teach financial literacy to high school students, reflects the kind of person she is both in and out of the office. She loves baking, reading, traveling (with a goal to visit all 50 states!), and catching Saints games with her dad.

We're so glad to have you on the team!

If you owe the IRS more than you can pay, you have more options than you might think.

One of them is called an Offer in Compromise. It allows eligible taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. It's not a loophole and it's not too good to be true. It's an actual IRS program with a real application process.

Part-time workers are reshaping the retirement plan landscape, and SECURE 2.0 made it official.

Starting with plan years after December 31, 2024, employees who work at least 500 hours in each of two consecutive years must be allowed to participate in your 401(k) or ERISA 403(b) plan. For businesses with a significant part-time workforce, this change could meaningfully expand plan participation and bring new administrative responsibilities along with it.

F&W and Sentinel work together to help businesses stay ahead of exactly these kinds of changes, from reviewing plan eligibility and updating census data to coordinating the accounting and tax implications.

This month, we are celebrating some incredible members of our Faulk & Winkler team!
