About The Balance Barn LLC | Professional Bookkeeping & Family-Owned Business

Our Story Begins with Purpose

The Balance Barn was founded on a simple belief: small business owners deserve a financial partner who truly understands their struggles, celebrates their victories, and provides the peace of mind that comes from having accurate, reliable books. As a family-owned business ourselves, we know firsthand the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship.

Our team, all graduates of Texas A&M University, brings both academic excellence and real-world experience to every client relationship. We started this firm because we saw too many small business owners drowning in paperwork, stressed about their finances, and unable to focus on what they love most – growing their business and serving their customers.

Today, we're proud to serve businesses across the nation from our home base in Georgetown, Texas. While we've grown our client base, we've never lost sight of what makes us different: we treat every client like family, and every business like our own.
