I’m Christy Gibson, founder and CEO of Gibson Bookkeeping & Advisory. I started this business because I wanted to raise a family while continuing to grow my career. In those early years, I was searching for balance between work, motherhood, and purpose. That search shaped the business I built. I believed I could create that same sense of balance for other small business owners who were feeling stretched too thin. Our original tagline was “Balancing Books, Balancing Lives,” and it truly reflected our mission at the time.

Over the years, our business evolved alongside our clients. We realized that many of them didn’t just need someone to handle their books. They needed a financial partner who could help them understand their numbers and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

That insight shifted everything. Today, our tagline is “From Messy to Meaningful.” It captures our deeper purpose. We help business owners transform financial confusion into usable insights that drive smarter decisions.

Gibson Bookkeeping & Advisory is a remote firm partnering with service-based businesses throughout the Greater Seattle Area. Our clients include specialized consultants and advisors, medical and mental health providers, real estate professionals, marketing and creative agencies, coaches and instructional businesses, and advocacy and lobbying professionals. These are people who are experts in their fields, but didn’t go into business to manage finances. We meet them where they are and grow with them, offering bookkeeping and advisory support that fits their stage and goals.

We also prioritize building a team culture rooted in flexibility and meaningful work. Many of our team members are raising families and pursuing careers that support both their personal and professional lives.

I started this business to create a better way to work and live. That remains the foundation of everything we do.
