Virginia Gearhart
Gearhart Bookkeeping
At Gearhart Bookkeeping, we know the financial side of running a business can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling everything else that comes with owning a pet business. We specialize in helping pet business owners feel more in control of their finances and confident about their cash flow, without the stress or confusion that often comes with the numbers.
We work with pet service providers, brick-and-mortar businesses, and pet brands to keep financials organized, make cash flow easier to understand, and support better day-to-day and long-term decisions. Whether you’re growing a team, navigating a slower season, or preparing for tax time, we’re here to make sure your finances are clear and ready to support what’s next.
Our approach is hands-on, supportive, and tailored to your business. We don’t just hand over reports. We break the numbers down in a simple, approachable way so you understand what’s happening in your business and feel confident using that information to move forward.
Our goal is to take the stress out of managing money so you can focus on growing your business, caring for pets, and enjoying the work you’ve built.

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.

Getting started is simple. We’ll send over a short agreement and set up your monthly autopay. From there, we’ll add you to our secure client portal, which is where you’ll find your reports and where we’ll communicate as we work together. We’ll guide you through anything else we need along the way so the process feels smooth and straightforward.
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. "
