Industry Experience That Works for You

Bookkeeping isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each industry has its own rhythms, expenses, and quirks — and we know them firsthand.

High-volume transactions, tip reporting, and food cost tracking handled accurately and on schedule.

Board fees, farrier costs, vet expenses, and event income — we understand the unique financial landscape of horse operations.

Seasonal cash flow, parts inventory, service contracts, and equipment depreciation managed so nothing falls through the cracks.

Ashley Beddingfield, Owner and Certified Bookkeeper, Briar Patch Business Services Eatonton GA

Meet Ashley Beddingfield

“I want to help as many business owners as I can to see their dreams and their success come to life.”

As a mom of four and a business owner myself, I know how to juggle a little chaos. Over the years I’ve worked with businesses across construction, HVAC, retail, fast food, equestrian operations, and home inspections — and discovered a genuine love for the numbers side of things. Call me crazy, but a clean set of books actually makes my day better.

That passion, combined with a lifelong drive to help people, is what created Briar Patch Business Services. Now I get to help entrepreneurs in Eatonton, Putnam County, and the Lake Oconee area clear the thorns and find a clear path toward their goals.
