Testimonial

Hear from Bowline HQ customers.

We believe that the greatest measures of success are fruitful relationships with the camps we serve.

“Before our partnership with Bowline, our camp finances were a constant headache for myself and the team. It felt like we were just getting by and not maximizing the potential of more thoughtful accounting and financial forecasting. Bowline has come in and professionalized our processes and our overall financial picture. They have given us invaluable insights that have increased our efficiencies and saved us tens of thousands of dollars. Most importantly of all, the folks at Bowline are just good people- they understand the mission of camp and what we are about. To have that kind of missional alignment with our accounting team is priceless. Bowline gets camping! We cannot recommend them highly enough to any other camp looking to level up their financial outlook!”
