A couple of questions:
1. Are you looking to pay admin salary or accountant salary?
2. Is it real basic accounting work? A staffing agency might be an easy route to find what you're looking for.

What exactly are you looking for?? Are you looking for someone to cut checks and call about receivables? Do you need help with invoicing customers? What type of accounting software are you using?

You might consider hiring an LSU accounting student and use your current CPA to guide the student as needed. My experience is that few bookkeepers have the skills to oversee the payroll function when 401(k) plans are involved. While an LSU student would also lack those skills they would be more likely to learn the requirements and avoid any costly mistakes.

Please discuss this option with your CPA. He may like the idea of mentoring an intern, and you may find yourself a potential full time accountant should your businesses grow.
