Summit Veterinary Advisors:  Built for Veterinary Practices

How can we help?

We provide the types of services and solutions you need to meet your goals.

Summit's experienced team of accountants and bookkeepers specializes in financial management and bookkeeping specific to veterinary practices. 


Like any other business, veterinary clinics need to maintain a good set of books to be able to make informed financial decisions to ensure the success and sustainability of their business. 


Summit offers several different monthly accounting and bookkeeping packages that can be customized to fit your practice's needs.


Services in these packages include: 

  • Set up your chart of accounts according to AAHA/VMG standards
  • Keep your books accurate and up to date, pay your bills, and process your payroll
  • Understand which numbers are most important to track and why
  • Establish policy for consistent recording of all financial transactions and implement internal controls
  • Help you understand what reports are important to you to assess the financial health of your veterinary practice 
  • Provide recommendations on how to increase profitability

With the right accounting setup, you’ll be able to pull meaningful insights when you need them—monitor trends from prior years as well as benchmark your practice against industry standards with ease.

Practice Valuation for Practice Sale

Our accredited valuation analysts abide by the standards of the National Association of Certified Valuators & Analysts (NACVA). This standard requires us to perform an in-depth analysis of the business in order to determine the most reasonable and unbiased Fair Market Value of your practice. 


Our valuation process includes a detailed analysis of the historical financial performance of the business over the past three to five years, as well as several risk factors that can impact the long-term financial success of a veterinary practice.


Risk factors considered include:


  • Stability of adjusted profitability
  • Ability to transfer Goodwill
  • Local economy and environment of competitors
  • Available pool of buyers

Our reports explain in detail our valuation process and methodology used. We stay in communication with you throughout the process and schedule a final call to review the report and answer any questions you may have.

Practice Valuation for Strategic Planning

Our in-depth analysis of your business will help you understand the current value of your veterinary practice. 


If the value is not where you would like it to be, we can help you understand how to make changes to meet your valuation goals.


The unbiased nature of our analysis, combined with the expertise and credentials of our analysts and the completeness and transparency of our report conclusions, will give you a result that you can trust.

Affordability Analysis for Buyers

It is the seller’s responsibility to set an asking price for the veterinary practice. As a buyer, your job is to determine if the asking price is worth the reward that ownership provides.


Summit has a strong reputation for practice valuation; however, a full valuation is more than a buyer really needs in order to make a decision. Instead, we conduct an Affordability Analysis based on historical information from the practice and on the factors that may or may not change once you become the owner of the business.


Our review will determine if the seller’s asking price is reasonable. If it is not, we will give you specific points to negotiate a more reasonable price.

Profitability Assessment & Improvement

Summit’s Profitability Assessment includes a review of revenue sources, key expenses such as drug and supply costs, staff salaries, and rent, plus an evaluation of each doctor’s production compared to their compensation.


We take a comprehensive look at all the numbers to identify the practice’s strong points, where you can make quick adjustments and those areas that will improve over time with the proper attention.


Improving the profitability of your practice is one of the surest ways to increase the value when you are ready to sell all or a portion of your business. 


Whether your practice is very profitable, not profitable at all or somewhere in between, we’ll give you specific recommendations for improvement.
