"I feel much more confident in addressing the concerns that are highlighted in my Financial Analysis because of encouragement from my practice coach last year. I was able to refine my chartof accounts. Once that was done it was easier to implement AHAA-based GL codes with the help of my coach. Then there was a more accurate picture when Leather provided the industry benchmark percentages for expenses. I was able to find and diagnose the areas where money was "leaking out" or not being supported by revenue, which ended up being due to antiquated pricing on procedures. It was clearly reflected in the Financial Analysis and with modifications that we have made next year should show much more improvement in that area and a more well-balanced business matrix."

LOVE working with VGP! As a younger practice manager, the practice coaches have been an invaluable resource! I have worked with them with two different teams, and I love how they help our leadership team stay focused on making our practice the best it can be! What a difference it makes for our team, and as a result our clients and patients! Cannot say enough positive things about my experiences with Veterinary Growth Partners.
