A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER

Who We Are

Most small business owners I talk to have the same story.

They’ve outgrown their bookkeeper but aren’t sure what they actually need next. Their numbers are technically accurate, but nobody is helping them understand what those numbers mean. When they have a question, they wait days for an answer, if they get one at all.

That’s exactly why Kristy Barber Consulting exists.

I started this business because I saw a gap that nobody was filling. Most bookkeepers stop at compliance. Most small business owners who are growing fast need more than accurate records, but they don’t need a full financial executive either. They need something in between, and that’s exactly what Kristy Barber Consulting is built to be.

What makes us different is how we think about finances. Numbers don’t exist in isolation. They’re a direct reflection of how your business operates, how your systems are set up, and how your processes flow. When something looks off in your financials, the answer is rarely just in the books. It’s usually somewhere in the operation.

That’s why we bring both lenses to every engagement. Financial clarity and operational alignment work together. Clean books matter. So does understanding why the numbers look the way they do and what to do about it.

I’ve worked inside businesses at every stage, from the day-to-day of bookkeeping to the complexity of system implementations to the strategic seat of a CFO. That range shapes everything we do. We don’t just record what happened. We help you understand it and use it.

If you’ve ever felt like your financial support wasn’t keeping up with your business, you’re in the right place.

TESTIMONIALS

Kristy brings extreme clarity to the #’s side of business. Before working with her we were unclear of the important details of our revenue and if we had enough to cover our expansion expenses. She took the headache out and made it possible to understand where our business is and what we need to do to reach our financial goals!

Keith B. – TWB Fitness
I have been working with Kristy over the last few years. She has been great with setting up systems in my salon, getting us organized, and making running my business less stressful.

Kara H. – Soluxe Platinum Salon
We have strategically partnered together for nearly four years, and she is the backbone to the financial infrastructure of my business. She is simply amazing!

Amanda T. – JJH, LLC
Kristy is an ace at recognizing and optimizing business operations. I should know, I worked for a multi-billion dollar company, strategically improving their operations. Kristy blew me away on how quickly and effectively she identifies operational inefficiencies and develops the right solution!

Dylan Bradley
She’s professional, timely, and offers ideas and solutions. But, the best accolade I can give her is there are no surprises. Just solid and dependable. As business owners, isn’t that what we all want?

You've built something real. Let's make sure your finances reflect that.
