Meet Your Partner in Financial Growth

My name is Meghan Barlow, owner of Barlow Bookkeeping and Administrative Services Inc. I am proud to be a lifelong Washago resident, born and raised right here in our community. Today, I am raising my own family in the same town that shaped me, and I truly value the opportunity to work alongside my friends, neighbours, and fellow local business owners.

My professional background began in administrative and financial support roles, where I gained experience in data entry, accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, equal billing, payment processing, and credit collections. Through those years of hands-on experience, I discovered a passion for bookkeeping and helping businesses stay organized, efficient, and financially confident.

Later in life, I decided to pursue that passion professionally and earned my bookkeeping degree from Georgian College. In 2023, I proudly launched my own firm with the goal of providing approachable, reliable, and personalized bookkeeping and tax services to individuals and businesses in our community and beyond.

I am also the founder of the Washago Business Association, an organization created to help connect local residents with local businesses while encouraging community growth and support. I strongly believe that when local businesses thrive, our entire community thrives with them.

At Barlow Bookkeeping and Administrative Services Inc., my goal is to provide professional service with a personal touch — building lasting relationships with clients while helping them feel supported every step of the way.

Thanks,

Meghan

FAQ

Does Barlow Bookkeeping handle personal income tax returns?

Yes. While we offer professional support for corporations, our heart is in supporting local small businesses and individuals. By focusing on the unique overlap between personal and business finance, we provide a level of integrated tax strategy and bookkeeping that generalist ‘tax shops’ often overlook. We ensure your personal T1 and business filings work together to keep more money in your pocket.

Do I need to be "tech-savvy" to work with Barlow Bookkeeping?

Not at all. Technology shouldn’t be a barrier to your success. Our job is to make the tech invisible. If you can take a photo with your phone and check your email, you can use our system. We handle all the technical heavy lifting—from MFA setup to cloud integrations—so you can enjoy the benefits of a digital office without the headache.
