About Valerie and Eagle Eye Accounting
I’m Valerie, I’ve spent my career in a couple of different industries – software and tourism specifically – but always with a focus on accounting, finance, and operations. I excel at organizing and streamlining numbers and processes.
I’m a gym and workout enthusiast (CrossFit and powerlifting are my favorites), who is a pretty ordinary athlete, with an exceptional amount of passion for and dedication to the health and fitness industry and community.
I make accounting hassle and worry-free for gym, fitness, and yoga studio owners by seamlessly handling routine bookkeeping tasks and making business planning and financial decisions approachable and understandable in plain language.
I pride myself on old-school customer service. I’m proactive, efficient, and always responsive. My goal is to create lasting partnerships and an in-depth knowledge of my clients and their businesses and industry, allowing them to move into the future with optimism, financial health, fiscal confidence, and the capacity to focus on what they love doing.
I started my career at Timberline Software (now Sage Construction Management) in Beaverton, Oregon, and New York, New York, serving construction accounting clients in roles ranging from customer product support, implementation and ongoing on-site client consulting, training development and individual and class-based instruction, and custom report writing.
Following my tenure at Timberline Software, I completed studies in hospitality and tourism management at OSU – Cascades and began working at Visit Bend, the destination management and tourism marketing agency for Bend, Oregon. As Vice President of Operations and Policy, I managed financial operations, forecasting and budgeting, business administration, human resources, insurance and contracts, grant programs, data and research projects, and supervised the Bend Visitor Center and staff.
I launched Eagle Eye Accounting in 2024 and am excited to bring my experience in bookkeeping, accounting, and business operations to small businesses – with a specialization in independent gyms and fitness studios – combining my professional and personal pursuits and interests, and passions!
In my free time, I enjoy skiing (why I moved to Bend, Oregon), kayaking, CrossFit and powerlifting with my fitness communities, and seeing many, many movies with my husband, Andy.
