Every veterinary practice is under pressure to compete more effectively and profitably at a time of growing competition.

Whether you are a veterinary practice on the high street, practising in the country or specialising in large or exotic animals, our team of veterinary accountants and advisers have the knowledge of the veterinary sector that can help you.

Understanding you

To give you the best accountancy advice, we have over 25 years' experience in the veterinary sector and an understanding of every type of practice. 

Practice valuations, sales and purchases are where we excel and can offer you a quality service. In the past three years we have advised on the sale and purchase of veterinary practices in excess of £250m.

Where many vets accountancy firms offer conventional compliance based services, we go far beyond and can help you get to grips with:

  • Fundamental issues of practice management
  • Improving your service
  • Increasing your profits
  • Reducing your costs

How can we help you?

 

Making a difference

To ensure you are getting the most up-to-date service and advice, we have regular contact with veterinary associations to enable us to anticipate developments in veterinary practice. 

In order to give you access to our wealth of information, we hold seminars on topical issues. We are also members of SPVS and VMG.

 

Useful links

To keep you up-to-date with the latest veterinary news, we regularly write for a variety of publications.

Testimonial from Anonymous

"Pro-active, knowledgeable and quietly supportive would be my summary of Hazlewoods. We first joined the Hazlewoods family 4 years ago, on the back of a personal recommendation, primarily for audit purposes, but they soon turned out to be so much more...their staff are personable, comfortingly knowledgeable and always willing to help. Their straight, no nonsense approach to all matters be they personal, audit or corporate makes dealing with them easy and never a chore."
