Pet & Animals

Clear accounting support for pet and animal businesses

At Penney’s Accountancy, we support pet and animal businesses with practical accounting and business advice tailored to the day to day realities of running a pet focused service or retail business.

Clear accounting support for pet and animal businesses

Pet businesses often combine hands on care with retail, services, and staffing. Income can vary throughout the year and business owners are usually focused on animal care and customer service rather than financial admin.

Common challenges we help with include:

  • Managing cash flow around seasonal demand
  • Payroll for small teams and part time staff
  • VAT across products and services
  • Monitoring costs and profitability
  • Keeping records organised while running a busy business
  • Staying compliant while focusing on customers and animals


Our role is to reduce this pressure and give you clear financial oversight.
