Meet Our Team!
Michael Chauppette
Vice President & Accountant
With over 56 years of accounting experience, Michael has dedicated 36 of those years to Accounting Services of Hammond, Inc. A Southeastern Louisiana University graduate, Class of 1969, with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, he has built a career on helping clients manage the challenges of running a business.
He enjoys guiding clients in the right direction and taking on the accounting responsibilities that allow them to focus on what they do best. What motivates him is the challenge of keeping clients compliant in every aspect of business, even the regulations they may not know exist.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time by the pool with family and friends, going to country music concerts, and working alongside his wife at the firm. After 36 years of working together, they still enjoy what they do every day.
Matthew Howes
Accountant
