From Engineering to Accounting

Before transitioning into bookkeeping, Barb spent 30 years in mechanical engineering—a career that shaped her problem-solving mindset and appreciation for efficient systems.

“Clean processes create clear results.”

That same analytical thinking now fuels her bookkeeping work. Years of engineering process development allow Barb to spot inconsistencies quickly, streamline workflows, and build reliable financial systems that businesses can trust.

Outside the Office

When she’s not working, Barb enjoys traveling—especially to Miami and Italy—reading historical fiction, and playing golf with a sense of humor. She is passionate about volunteering at her church and values spending quality time with her husband, son, family, and friends.
