Rachel Barnett has been a QuickBooks user since 1995,  and has been a QuickBooks ProAdvisor since 2012. In  2023 she attained her QBO Advanced ProAdvisor certification. 

In 2024 she won the Insightful Accountant The Top QuickBooks Author/Educator ProAdvisor.

Rachel owned and operated Primarily Bookkeeping, d/b/a Your Bookkeeping Fairy Godmother, a Seattle-area bookkeeping firm, for six years, until selling the firm in 2018.

Following the sale of her business, Rachel embraced her passion to provide behind-the-scenes support for other professionals. She started Gentle Frog to support businesses that employed an in-house bookkeeper or owners who chose the DIY route for their bookkeeping.

During the period Feb 2021 to July 2022, Rachel teamed up with Kevin Sterling to assist in the growth of Centrosome, a Canadian bookkeeping and tax firm.

When she’s not busy supporting professionals and their businesses, Rachel enjoys volunteering in her local community. 

Rachel splits her time between Bellevue, WA, and Ottawa, ON, where she resides with her husband and a houseplant, and a cactus that has proven fairly resilient.
