Bookkeeper for
outdoor industry
and coaches
Hi! I'm Barb Skinner and I offer bookkeeping services to:
​
-
Outdoor industry businesses not ready for a full-time accounting hire, but want deeper industry knowledge than a bookkeeping generalist can offer
-
Fitness and nutrition coaches who want to focus on serving their clients, understand their finances, and not stress at tax time.
Here’s how it works
Step 1
Discovery Call
Complimentary 15-minute call for me to hear your pain points, answer your questions, and make a plan to work together. No commitment or purchase obligation, let me prove my worth before you decide.
Step 2
Diagnostic Review
Complimentary deep dive into your QBO file to determine exactly what steps need to be taken to clean up your books, delivered via a custom proposal. Complete review of: all transactions, bank accounts, P&L, Balance Sheet, Inventory, AR, AP. Still no commitment or purchase obligation!
Step 3
Clean Books
Once you decide to move forward, I'll send you a contract for e-sign, payment request, and requests for any other information or credentials I need to get started. Then you sit back and let me deliver clean books with regular monthly reporting.
Barb has been amazing to work with! I really can't recommend her enough - she's been a godsend for someone like me that has been managing accounting myself for the last few years. She kindly has educated me on accounting best practices and streamlined my whole bookkeeping operation. Her knowledge of quickbooks, invoicing, reconciling, etc has taken a huge stressor off of me and allowed me to focus more on athlete performance and rehab - the reasons I started my business in the first place. Do yourself a favor and reach out to her if you're like me and need a reliable and super knowledgeable bookkeeper for your small business!

My Story
Before starting Barb Skinner Bookkeeping I spent 13 years working in operations for a fast-paced cycling equipment startup, handling everything from purchasing and payment processing, to inventory cleanup projects, demand planning and cash flow reporting.
​
I also spent 2 years as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and RESTART sugar detox coach after studying with the Nutritional Therapy Association and Restorative Wellness Solutions.
In 2023 I obtained my QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification and started supporting small businesses with bookkeeping. I work in a variety of industries, but especially love working with fitness and nutrition coaches, and startups in the fitness and outdoor industries.
I live in Portland, OR with my husband and 3 kids and love running, hiking, riding bikes, and reading.
