In the complex world of equine business management, where passion meets precision, the right tools can make all the difference. HoofBooks was born out of a deep understanding of the unique needs within the equine industry, founded by Jackie Cohen, a seasoned expert with over 10 years of experience in the financial and 20 years in the equine sectors. With a background that spans accounting, finance, and the demanding world of hunter/jumper competitions, Jackie recognized a glaring gap in the market: the need for a streamlined, intuitive, and equine-specific accounting solution.

The Birth of HoofBooks

The journey of HoofBooks began with Jackie's realization that existing accounting software, like QuickBooks, while powerful, often fell short when it came to the specific needs of equine professionals. The constant struggle with confusing interfaces, the disconnect of managing paperwork for barn operations, and the lack of a tailored solution for equine businesses drove Jackie to create something new—something that could bridge these gaps seamlessly.

HoofBooks isn’t just another accounting software; it's designed with the equine professional in mind. From managing expenses for horse care and show entries to tracking client invoices and staff payroll, HoofBooks simplifies every aspect of equine business management. It’s a tool built by someone who knows the industry inside and out, which is why it’s set to become a game-changer.

Jackie Cohen: A Force in the Industry

With a solid foundation in accounting and an MBA from Villanova University, Jackie Cohen has been at the forefront of financial management for decades. But her passion for horses and the equine industry has always been her true driving force. Jackie's experience as a competitive rider, attending major shows on the East Coast such as WEF, WEC, HITS and Devon, has given her unique insights into the challenges faced by equine business owners. She’s not just a businesswoman; she’s an equestrian who understands the blood, sweat, and tears that go into running a successful equine operation.

This dual expertise in finance and equine management makes Jackie a formidable presence in the industry. Her deep understanding of the financial intricacies of equine businesses and her hands-on experience in the field positions her as a true innovator. HoofBooks is more than a software solution—it's a reflection of Jackie's commitment to empowering equine professionals to achieve financial success with ease.

The future of HoofBooks is not just about software; it's about creating a community of equine professionals who can focus on what they love most—caring for and competing with their horses—while leaving the financial stress behind.
