Running an outdoor business isn’t for the faint of heart. You’re managing guides, bookings, gear, weather, and guests — all while keeping an eye on insurance, permits, and seasonal shifts that can change overnight. Somewhere between prepping equipment and planning tours, the numbers start piling up — payroll, repairs, marketing, fuel, and maintenance. And if half of that still lives in spreadsheets? Chaos comes fast.

That’s where Straight Talk CPAs step in.

We don’t just balance books — we build bookkeeping systems made for outdoor and adventure businesses. Systems that bring accuracy, clarity, and control, so you spend less time buried in admin and more time doing what you actually love — getting people outdoors.

Bookkeeping Services for Outdoor & Adventure Businesses

Bookkeeping That Keeps Your Outdoor Business on Track

We’re not just here to track expenses. We help you build a leaner, more predictable business — one that runs steady even when the seasons don’t.

Comprehensive Financial Tracking

Revenue from tours, rentals, or gear sales — every dollar is logged, categorized, and reconciled automatically.

Streamlined Expense Management

Fuel, insurance, park fees, maintenance, permits — everything stays clean, coded, and audit-ready.

Accurate Bank Reconciliation

Merchant processors and bank accounts sync in real time, so you always know where you stand — not weeks later.

Tailored Bookkeeping for Outdoor Operators

No two adventure companies operate the same way. We adapt to your model — whether you’re seasonal, year-round, or running multiple sites.



  • Revenue & Booking Reconciliation: Using FareHarbor, Peek Pro, or Checkfront? Every booking, deposit, and refund gets tracked without missing a beat.
  • Payroll & Contractor Management: From full-time staff to seasonal guides, we handle payroll, taxes, and 1099s — all compliant, all on schedule.
  • Expense Categorization: Fuel, repairs, ad spend, gear — every cost is tagged properly, so you actually see which services pull profit and which drain it.
  • Multi-Location Consistency: Operating across parks or states? We consolidate everything — uniform reporting, simplified compliance, zero friction.

How We Work — Simple, Transparent, Effective

  • Diagnose
    We review your books, payment processors, and booking systems to find what’s slowing you down.
  • Stabilize
    We bring your accounts current, reconcile transactions, and clean up expense categories — building your month-end close calendar in the process.
  • Optimize
    You start getting monthly reports, profitability insights, and cash-flow forecasts that actually match your seasonal cycles.


Beyond Bookkeeping — Real Financial Insight

Clean books aren’t the goal. They’re the launchpad.

We take your data and turn it into clarity:

  • Build reserves for the off-season before it hits.
  • Pinpoint which services or rentals drive profit.
  • Keep your business audit-ready with airtight records.


That’s how you stop reacting and start leading with numbers that make sense.

Modern Tools for Seamless Operations

We blend real CPA experience with the tools you already use — no clunky transitions, no new logins to memorize.
