Leave the Numbers to Us - and the Fur to You
Hassle-free bookkeeping for pet groomers—so you can focus on what you love!
Who we are
At TransFURmational Bookkeeping, we bring a unique perspective to managing your finances. Founded by a former accountant turned pet groomer, we understand the challenges and joys of running a pet grooming business firsthand.
Our mission is to help fellow pet groomers take control of their books so they can focus on what they love most—caring for furry clients. With a blend of financial expertise and industry experience, we provide tailored bookkeeping solutions that simplify your workload and support your success.
Meet Laurren
TransFURmational Bookkeeping’s founder, Laurren Segraves, holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Masters in Business Administration. Laurren has prior work experience in a CPA firm - but mostly importantly, she has owned and operated her own grooming salon since 2016.
Priding herself on her ability to work with the creative minds of groomers and helping them to understand their numbers, Laurren quickly forms relationships with her clients that only those in the industry can.
Laurren and her husband, Chantz, have spent several years exhibiting Poodles, across all three varieties, within the AKC - showing nearly 20 Poodles to their American championships.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
-
Because I am also a groomer who understands the stress that comes from running your own business and wearing all the hats, but what sets me apart is that I previously worked in accounting, so I have the experience, education, and qualifications that sets me apart.
-
You could and some people are successful with it, but you have enough on your plate - focus on what you do best - grooming! Allow me to help lighten the load. Did you know bookkeeping fees are actually tax deductible? That means you can pay me to do something you dread so you don’t have to AND save on the money you’d be paying Uncle Sam! Win, win!
-
Sure! Whether you’re a new business, looking to convert another platform over to QBO, or you just changed from a sole proprietorship to an S Corp, I can help you!
-
I start hourly and once we establish the parameters of work and how much time is involved with your business, we will transition to flat rate. A reason for this is because it’s not fair to you for me to charge hundreds when you have 10 transactions that need to be logged into QuickBooks Online and it’s also not fair to me to make pennies when you have over 100 transactions that need to be logged, accounts reconciled, reports generated, etc.
It’s like me charging you for a Chihuahua bath when you have a St. Bernard OR you (over) paying me to do a deshed service on a St. Bernard but you have a Chihuahua. I want it to be reasonable for the both of us.
-
I’m upfront and I meet deadlines. If I tell you when somethings going to be done, unless I am hospitalized or held hostage, that’s when it will be done, and if anything comes up that disrupts the original timeline I gave you, that will be communicated well in advance. If we have an agreement that your payrolls will be completed on Wednesdays, it will be Wednesdays. I’ve always prided myself on the fact that a large reason why my businesses have been successful is because of my communication skills. As I always told my business school students: “good communication and customer service will cost you $0 to offer and it can make or break your business”

Yes! Every state is different. Some states do not apply sales tax towards services, some states only require a portion of the service to be taxed. I am happy to help you with this!
What Our Clients Say
-
"Laurren with TransFURmational has been LIFE SAVING for me personally and for my business! I am absolutely amazing at working with dogs; however, numbers and understanding budgeting, and finances… well that is not my strong suit. I have learned so much in just the few months working together! It's simply the best choice I have ever made in my adult life - not even playing. I am able to support my family of four, PLUS build a future! Before Transfurmational Bookkeeping became part of my team I was seriously winging this small business thing and living client to client. My financial situations have already been drastically reversed and now swing in my direction. This year is going to my year, and that is thanks to the help of Laurren!"

"TransFURmational Bookkeeping is a God-send! l've never in my almost 9 years of business had a detailed report done like the ones I receive, so l'm excited to see my numbers improve as we move forward with my planned price increase and addition of a second groomer."
K.E. - Brick and Mortar Grooming Salon Owner in Pennsylvania

"I have instant anxiety when it comes to back of house operations… taxes, sales tax, bookkeeping, etc. After multiple conversations with Laurren who owns TransFURmational Bookkeeping, I feel like I’ve finally found the missing link to my operations. She’s an accountant, bookkeeper, groomer, and a salon owner so her knowledge is a very easy crossover for my pet industry business. Her sense of humor and dealing with my lack of technology already makes her invaluable. I am neurodivergent so she has the ability and patience to break everything in easy bite sizes for me. Working with her has honestly been a game changer for me.”
