Fauna Accounting

Hi, I'm Laurel! 👋 I help veterinarians, equine business owners, dog walkers, doggy daycare owners, and other animal industry pros maximize their financial future and run more efficient businesses. 💸 My love of animals stared at an early age. As a determined kiddo, I traded stall cleaning for riding lessons. I suppose you could say I've always been a bit of an entrepreneur! Prior to my accounting career, I held positions as a veterinary assistant, veterinary office manager, stable hand, farm manager. I am also a licensed riding instructor. Today, I have the joy and privilege of helping animal care business owners across the country do more of what they do best - caring for animals! Do you run an animal care business and need a financial partner who prioritizes your growth and helps you save money? Let's talk! 🐴

Habit stacking is your key to staying consistent with your bookkeeping in 2025! 🔑 Here's how it works: ⤵️ Choose a habit you already have established, like regularly checking your bank account. In 2025, each time you check your bank balance, I want you to look and see if you have a new bank statement available. As soon as you see a new statement, that's your habit-stacking trigger to go ahead and do your bookkeeping for the month. But, what if I told you there's an even EASIER way to stay on top of your books in 2025? Hire me to do it all for you! 😏 #horses #petcare #veterinarymedicine

These are the things that make us the happiest! 😉 When you keep your business and personal expenses separate, not only are you making your bookkeeping much cleaner (and lowering your monthly bookkeeping bill), but you could also be lowering your liability for your personal assets if you own an LLC. It's a best practice to have a completely separate bank account that you run all of your business expenses through. SPOILER ALERT: It's not actually that tough to set up a new account. Do it today! Your bookkeeper will thank you.🤍 #horses #petcare #veterinarymedicine

LEAVE THESE IN 2024 ⤵️ 1️⃣ Waiting until April to start worrying about your tax filing. The earlier you file, the sooner you can get your tax refund! Even if you expect to owe, filing as soon as you have all your documents together is much less stressful than scrambling at the last minute. 2️⃣ Leaving tax planning to the ultra-wealthy. Tax planning is for EVERYONE! Whether it's setting up a college savings account, saving for retirement, or opening a new business, consulting with your tax accountant can help you save! 3️⃣ Listening to all of the tax advice you see on social media. Not only can social media tax advice often be misleading, but there are a lot of nuances to tax law that depend on your facts and circumstances. Working with a qualified tax accountant who understands your tax situation is the best solution! #horses #petcare #veterinarymedicine
