COMMENTS
The corresponding numerators are given in A294517.
For the general case V(m,r;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(m*k + r)) = (1/(m - r))*Sum_{k=0..n} (m/(m*k + r) - 1/(k+1)), for r = 1, ..., m-1 and m = 2, 3, ..., and their limits see a comment in A294512. Here [m,r] = [4,3].
The limit of the series is V(4,3) = lim_{n -> oo} V(4,3;n) = 3*log(2) - Pi/2 = 0.50864521488493930902... given in A294518.

FORMULA
a(n) = numerator(V(4,3;n)) with V(4,3;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(4*k + 3)) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/A033991(k+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} (4/(4*k + 3) - 1/(k+1)).
V(4,3;n) = 3*log(2) - Pi/2 + Psi(n+7/4) - Psi(n+2) with the digamma function Psi. Note that Psi(1) - Psi(3/4) = 3*log(2) - Pi/2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2017
EXAMPLE
The rationals V(4,3;n), n >= 0, begin: 1/3, 17/42, 67/154, 2087/4620, 40577/87780, 315967/672980, 8627249/18170460, 539432053/1126568520, 543008461/1126568520, 7096662277/14645390760, 306487877071/629751802680, ...
V(4,3;10^4) = 0.508620219 (Maple, 10 digits) to be compared with 0.508645215 from V(4,3) given in A294518.
