The Pet Accountant was formed by Vicky Clark to help Pet Professionals around the UK with their finances. The Pet Accountant which is a trading name of Thomas & Clark Ltd is run by two accountants, Vicky Clark and Lee Thomas. With over 10 years of experience combined, Vicky and Lee work with Sole Traders, Partnerships, and Limited Companies of various sizes.
