What It Feels Like

The shift when you finally have someone in your corner.

Most veterinary practices owners aren't looking for another report — they're looking for someone they can think out loud with. A CPA + MBA who already understands the practice, sees the numbers monthly, and can be a sounding board for every decision that matters. Here's what changes when you stop running your back office alone.

With Practice Partner
Carrying medicine. Letting us carry the rest
You shouldn't have to be the clinician, the operator, the negotiator, the tax strategist, and the CFO. Be the leader. We'll handle the rest.
How We Show Up for You

You run the practice. We run the financial side — together.

You shouldn't have to be the clinician, the CFO, the tax strategist, and the operator all at once. The same Principal-level CPA — Ronak Bhatt, CPA, MBA — handles the technical work so you can focus on patients, your team, and the decisions only you can make. Here's what that partnership looks like across three areas.

01
Tax — Planned, Not Just Filed

You'll never feel a March surprise again.

Most veterinary practices owners learn their tax bill the same week it's due. We turn that on its head — by October, you know your number, you know your plan, and you've already made the moves that lower it. The technical work happens quietly in the background; what you experience is clarity and control.

The kinds of strategies we routinely run for veterinary practices owners — and what they typically save:

$7K–$15K/yr
S-Corp Reasonable Compensation
Defensibly set DVM owner comp to optimize payroll tax.
$1,500 + study
Cost Segregation on Buildouts
Accelerates depreciation on new clinic real estate — typically 6–10× ROI in year-one tax savings.
$15K–$60K
Equipment Depreciation
Section 179 + bonus on imaging, surgical equipment, dental units, and clinic technology.
$20K–$100K+/yr
Cash Balance / Defined Benefit
High-income veterinary owners often miss substantial retirement tax shelter beyond a 401(k).
You don't have to chase the strategy. We bring it to you — and tell you exactly what it means for your bottom line.
02
Numbers — Closed Monthly, Translated for You

Open one dashboard and know exactly how the practice is doing.

You stop guessing. You stop waiting for a CPA to "get back to you." Your books close by the 10th of every month, and we translate the numbers into the few metrics that actually matter for veterinary practices owners — so when you make a hiring, pricing, or expansion call, the math is already done.

03
Advisory — Someone to Think Out Loud With

A CPA + MBA in your corner for every decision that matters.

Corporate-buyer prep (Mars, NVA, BluePearl, VCA), valuation, multi-location expansion modeling, and quarterly strategy.

Every business leader needs someone to bounce ideas off — somebody who knows the numbers, knows the industry, and is in the conversation before the decision gets made. Hiring an associate. Adding a location. Buying the building. Bringing on a partner. Selling to a DSO or a group. You don't have to figure those out alone, and you don't have to wait until tax season to talk about them.

  • Benchmarks that actually fit you — your numbers compared against veterinary practices owners in your exact specialty, not "small business" averages
  • A network you can borrow — vetted attorneys, bankers, retirement plan administrators, M&A advisors who already know healthcare
  • Regulatory clarity — CMS rules, state filing changes, reimbursement updates translated into financial impact before they hit your practice
  • A real sounding board — a CPA + MBA in the room when you're making the call, not just reading about it after

Common Questions

What veterinary practices owners ask first.

Do you handle large-animal and mixed practices?
Yes. Mixed and large-animal practices have very different revenue dynamics (haul-in vs. ambulatory, herd health contracts, mobile equipment) and we have specialists in this area.
Can you help if I'm preparing to sell to a corporate consolidator?
Absolutely. Corporate vet acquirers value practices on adjusted EBITDA with specific normalizations — typically engaged 12–24 months before sale. Practice Exit Readiness: $6,500–$12,000.
What about DEA-controlled substance accounting?
We coordinate with your inventory system to reconcile controlled substance usage to revenue. Misalignment is one of the most common DEA audit findings.
Can you handle production-based DVM compensation?
Yes. ProSal models, base + percentage structures, Pro-Sal-with-floor agreements, and W-2 vs. 1099 classification review for relief vet payments.
How is veterinary accounting different from human healthcare?
Inventory matters far more (drugs, food, supplies = 18–22% of revenue), there's no insurance billing (mostly cash with growing CareCredit and pet insurance), and DVM productivity drives the practice.
Do you handle specialty and ER veterinary hospitals?
Yes. Specialty and ER hospitals have different revenue mix (referrals, after-hours premiums, complex case work) and we adjust reporting accordingly.
