About our guest: My name is Vicky Clark and I am the owner and face behind The Pet Accountant. I work with people all over the UK (isn't the cloud amazing?). My six years of experience as an accountant and ten years in finance mean that I know my way around a tax return. In recent years I have gravitated towards clients that are pet professionals, because quite frankly, if I wasn't an accountant I'd probably be working with animals too. I work with a lot of Groomers and have helped them go from their back garden to having a number of salons and growing their profit massively.
