Bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services built around your business with over 20 years of experience and direct one-on-one support every step of the way.
I'm Kevin Burdett, an experienced accounting and bookkeeping professional based in Columbia, Maryland. For over 20 years, I've worked directly with small business owners, startups, and entrepreneurs across Maryland and beyond — helping them get their finances organized, stay tax-ready, and make smarter decisions with their money. When you work with me, you work with me. Not a rotating associate. Not a junior staff member. You'll have my direct contact, my full attention, and accounting support that's built around your business — not a one-size-fits-all package. I specialize in outsourced accounting and bookkeeping, QuickBooks setup and cleanup, monthly financial reporting, and business and individual tax preparation. My goal is simple: give you clear, accurate financial information so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
Received a notice from the IRS or Maryland tax authorities? I can review your notice, explain the issue clearly, and help guide you through the resolution process with practical support and communication.
There are plenty of accounting firms out there. Here’s why small business owners throughout Maryland choose personalized accounting support from Barney & Company instead.
Every question, every report, and every update comes directly from me. You'll never be passed around between departments or forced to re-explain your business to different people.
I've spent more than two decades helping Maryland small businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, and individuals manage their finances with greater organization, accuracy, and confidence.
I'm certified in QuickBooks and work with both Online and Desktop versions to help businesses maintain organized books, reliable reporting, and accurate financial records.

Beyond financial statements, I help clients understand cash flow, budgeting, profitability, and the financial side of running a business more effectively.
You'll always know what you're paying for and why. I communicate clearly, respond promptly, and make accounting easier to understand without unnecessary jargon or confusion.
Most of my clients are small business owners and startup founders who are excellent at what they do — but don’t have the time or desire to manage bookkeeping, reporting, and tax responsibilities on their own.
Many clients come to me when:
I’ve worked with businesses across a wide range of industries including healthcare and medical practices, retail, restaurants, construction and contracting, nonprofits, professional services, real estate, technology startups, and e-commerce businesses.
Whether you’re launching a startup, growing a small business, or trying to regain financial organization, I can help keep your finances accurate, organized, and easier to manage.
