Veterinary Accountants UK

About Us

We act for veterinary practices, practice owners and locum veterinary surgeons across the United Kingdom, handling the compliance work properly and spending the rest of our time on the questions that actually change what a practice earns and what it is worth.

What We Do

Veterinary practices are unusual businesses. They earn from clinical time and from dispensing at the same time, they carry significant stock, a large share of their income arrives from insurers rather than clients, and many now sell recurring health plans that are paid for a year ahead of the treatment they buy.

Handled by an accountant who sees that pattern regularly, the accounts become a management tool. Handled by one who does not, they become a filing exercise.

The second half of what we do is transactional. Practices get bought, sold, valued and passed on, and the financial preparation for that starts years before the transaction. We do valuations, acquisitions, disposals, partner buy-ins and succession planning, and we do them for independent practices dealing with well-advised corporate buyers.

Numbers That Explain Something

Every set of accounts we prepare is built so it can answer management questions, not only satisfy Companies House. If we produce a number you cannot use, we have not finished.

Fixed Fees, Agreed First

Scope and price in writing before anything starts. An hourly meter discourages the conversations that are most valuable, which is precisely the wrong incentive.

Straight Answers

Including when the answer is that you do not need the thing you were asking about, or that a piece of work would not pay for itself.

Nothing Published Without Evidence

No invented testimonials, no accreditation badges we cannot substantiate, no claimed savings without a client who agreed to them being published. Where we do not yet hold evidence, the page says so.

How an Engagement Starts

There is no sales process. A conversation, a look at your actual numbers, and a fixed price before anything begins.

  1. A conversation

    Half an hour on where the practice is and what is bothering you about it. No charge, no obligation.

  2. We read your numbers

    Your last two sets of accounts and a few practice management system reports. We come back with what they show and what they do not.

  3. A written proposal

    Scope, deliverables, timetable and a fixed fee. You decide with the whole picture in front of you.

  4. We run the handover

    Professional clearance from your existing accountant, records transfer and HMRC authorisation. It needs very little from you.

  5. Reporting begins

    On a fixed timetable with commentary, and a named person who answers when you get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are your fees structured?
A fixed annual fee agreed in writing before work starts, based on the scope. Additional pieces of work such as a valuation or a benchmarking review are quoted separately with a fixed price. We do not charge for telephone calls.
Do we have to be local to you?
No. We act for practices across the UK. Reporting and routine work is handled remotely, and we visit practices where a site visit adds something, particularly around benchmarking and transactions.
Who will actually do our work?
A named client manager handles the day to day, with a principal responsible for the relationship and for any transaction or tax work. You will not be passed around.
How quickly do you respond?
We reply to new enquiries within one working day.
