I share a deep love for animals, just like so many business owners in this industry. My family and I actually have four dogs at home (you might even see one of them pop into our Zoom meetings!). While I’m not hands-on in the pet industry, I decided to use my expertise to help pet businesses thrive. When pet businesses succeed, more animals get the care and attention they deserve and that’s something I’m proud to support.

We focus exclusively on pet businesses, offering not just accurate bookkeeping but also insights that help you grow. Many of our clients come to us after working with financial professionals who were unresponsive or didn’t address their concerns. We’re committed to doing things differently. We make sure you feel heard and supported, and we’re perfectionists when it comes to keeping your books in excellent shape. With us, you’ll always know your finances are in good hands.

Once you’re ready to get started, we’ll send over an engagement letter for you to sign, which will also set up your monthly autopay. Then we’ll add you to our secure client portal (complete with a convenient mobile app). This is where you’ll find all your reports and documents and where we can ask each other questions as we work together. We’ll also need read-only access to your point-of-sale software and bank accounts so we can handle the work seamlessly without needing to check in every month for details.
Happy clients, happy life.

"We had a small holistic pet shop in New Jersey and wanted to sell our business. We needed to make sure all our bookkeeping was correct and up to date. We saw a few recommendations for Virginia in a private small industry fb group and decided to hire her. She was absolutely amazing. She took all the stress of our bookkeeping away. It was something we always dreaded doing. She was always available to help with any questions we had. If you want the stress of keeping your books completely eliminated I highly recommend Virginia. "
