I am an accounting, tax and finance professional, and I have spent years on both sides of the table: advising businesses and running my own properties and projects.   ![IMG\_3473](https://barcbusiness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_3473.jpg?width=3352&height=2514&name=IMG_3473.jpg) ## Debra Hildebrand BARC Business is owned and operated by Debra Hildebrand.

It works best when someone who understands the numbers sets it up and checks the output. I also work on training AI systems on finance and accounting tasks. That gives me a close view of where these tools are strong and where they still need a professional's review, and I build that review into every workflow. ![Our mission](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/7528309/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-elevate-theme_hubspot/elevate/images/our-mission.png) ## Our mission is to provide businesses with the tools, expertise, and support they need to thrive. ## Learn more through our Insight series To help you navigate the unique needs of your industry, we’ve created the BARC Business Insights series tailored for small business owners like you.
