Bookkeeping & Taxes for Equine Pros

You keep horses sound, fit and moving well. We keep your business in the same shape, with bookkeeping, tax planning and returns made for farriers, trainers, bodyworkers, saddle fitters and grooms.

WHAT WE CAN HANDLE

Built for pros who work barn to barn

Pick what you need. Your package can include any of these, and we'll help you choose on your free call.

Truck, trailer, & tools

Your rig carries your whole business. We compare the mileage rate with actual costs and depreciation for your truck, trailer, and tools, and the back up for every write-off.

Quarterly taxes

Income rises and falls with show season and the weather. We work out what to set aside from each payment and adjust as your schedule changes.

Steady footing from day one

Left a barn job, finished an apprenticeship or started taking your own clients? We help you set up your entity, books and payments from day one.

WHO WE WORK WITH

For the people horses rely on

You work with horses, not in an office. We built our support around the way equine professionals actually earn and spend.

Farriers

Shoes, nails, tools and a truck that never stops moving.

Trainers & instructors

Lessons, training rides and clinics, at home or at clients' barns.

Saddle fitters & Bodyworkers

Certifications, specialty tools and travel across the region.

Grooms & braiders

Show-season income, travel and the paperwork that comes with it.

EASY TO MISS

The details we look after for you

Working for yourself in the horse world comes with a few twists most accountants never see. We keep an eye on them, so you can keep your eyes on the horses.

Trading work for board or lessons

Swapping training rides for board, or shoeing for lessons, still counts as income for both sides. We help you record it simply and fairly.

Selling saddles, supplements or products

Product sales can bring sales tax, inventory and different deductions than your service work. We help you keep the two straight.

Working the show circuit

Winter in Florida or a summer circuit can mean income and filing duties in another state. We plan for it before the season starts.

Your future and your health

Self-employed health insurance and retirement accounts like a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k) can lower your taxes today while you take care of tomorrow.
