Specializing in CPA firm operations, profits and planning for that next step being a merger, a sale or hiring for growth.

I spent 25 years behind my desk growing a successful remote accounting and tax firm. I worked less than 40 hours a week and was 50% profitable. I sold my business in 2021 and now I help other professional service firm owners reduce their stress and frustration and create a business that supports their personal definition of success. And perhaps set up for sale!

I am a member of this community of business owners where we share business advice.

Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1997, I immediately got to work within my field of accounting and finance. Then, after four years of watching the billable hour ruin client relationships, I decided it was time to strike out on my own. In October of 2001, Barlin Business Solutions was born.My goal with Barlin Business Solutions was primarily to help business owners by creating a working relationship based on mutual trust and respect, and for over 16 years that is exactly what my staff and I have done. Utilizing only the most proven and comprehensive strategies, we help our clients maximize cash-flow and increase profitability while reducing taxes. And the best part? We do it unlike anyone else in the business.Rather than charge by the hour, we bill by project and solution. We have a Menu of Services and clients select the services they wish to purchase. Clients don't have to worry about getting billed just to call and ask a question. We do not charge clients to call or email us !This frees us up to work smarter, rather than faster or harder. We also take pride in offering solutions grounded in the technologies of today.We utilize:- Cloud storage- Web-based forms- Paperless transactions- Software solutionsIf your revenue is in the millions, do you find that you are consistently facing profitability problems? We can help.
