BBSI

Barrett Business Services, Inc.

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) based in Vancouver, Washington, Barrett Business Services (BBSI) handles payroll, human resources, and workplace safety for small and mid-sized businesses nationwide. It grew out of Barry Temporary Services, a Portland staffing firm that adopted the Barrett name — inherited from an earlier Baltimore business run by Nancy Barrett — before going public in 1993. What began as a simple staffing agency evolved into a full-service business management platform.
