Our Firm
Built on Four Decades
of Trust
From a sole proprietorship founded in 1983 to a four-CPA firm serving Greater New Orleans — Weiner & Banner is the accounting partner businesses and families have relied on through every economic season.
Our Story
From Big-3 Accounting
to Your Corner Office
Allen Weiner spent 13 years at three of the world's largest accounting firms — Arthur Andersen, KPMG Peat Marwick, and Grant Thornton — before founding his practice in Metairie in 1983. He brought national-caliber rigor to a region that deserved better than cookie-cutter tax returns.
In 2014, Beth Banner joined as partner, bringing deep expertise in real estate, manufacturing, and restaurant industries. The firm now includes four licensed CPAs and three supporting staff — large enough to handle complexity, small enough to return your call the same day.

Experience You Can Count On
Allen A. Weiner
As managing partner, Allen combines the discipline of 13 years at national accounting firms with four decades of client-focused practice in Louisiana. His unique CPA + CFP® + PFS combination means clients benefit from accounting, tax, and financial planning strategies that work together — not in silos.
Allen holds a BBA in Accounting from the University of Oklahoma and an MA in Accounting from the University of Missouri. He is licensed in both Louisiana and Texas.
