WHO WE HELP
Bookkeeping built for your sector
We work exclusively with UK businesses in three sectors — deeper expertise, better outcomes, and a bookkeeper who actually understands your world.
🏇
Equestrian
From VAT on livery to the accounting treatment of competition horses, we understand the complexities of running an equestrian business in the UK.
Livery yards · Riding schools · Racing yards · Farriers · Horse dealers
🐕
Canine
Dog businesses are booming in the UK. We help you stay on top of income categorisation, payroll, HMRC licensing compliance, and clean Xero records.
Boarding kennels · Dog trainers · Grooming · Day care · Dog walkers · Breeders
🎯
Country Sports
Seasonal revenue, membership income, mixed-use land, and game licensing all create bookkeeping complexity. We know this world inside out.
Game shoots · Fishing syndicates · Gun dealers · Rural leisure · Stalking operations

ABOUT GREEN DOG SERVICES
We speak your language — and Xero’s
Most bookkeepers serve every business type. When you call with a question about livery VAT, shooting syndicate membership income, or the tax treatment of a working gundog, they have to look it up.
At Green Dog Services, we’ve built our entire bookkeeping practice around the equestrian, canine, and country sports sectors. We understand the seasonal cashflow, the mixed personal and business use of animals and land, and the specific HMRC rules that apply.
- Xero-certified with sector-specific chart of accounts templates
- Deep knowledge of equine and rural VAT treatment
- Experience with sole traders, partnerships, and Ltd companies
- MTD ITSA compliant workflow for all eligible clients
- Fully remote — serving clients anywhere in the UK
Why sector expertise matters
🏇 Equine VAT is uniquely complex
Livery income can be standard-rated, exempt, or zero-rated depending on how your yard operates — getting it wrong costs money.
🐕 Working animals need careful cost allocation
Separating business costs from personal animal costs is essential — and something a generalist bookkeeper often gets wrong.
⚠️ MTD is live — are you compliant?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now mandatory for many sole traders. We build MTD compliance into every client workflow.
⚠️ Making Tax Digital — are you ready?
MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment is now live for self-employed individuals above the income threshold. Every Green Dog Services package includes full MTD compliance as standard.
