Specialized accounting & CFO services for veterinary practices
Brammer, Begnaud, & Lattimore has served Southeast Texas businesses since 1950, and we’ve built our accounting approach around how a veterinary practice actually runs: seasonal cash flow swings, controlled substance recordkeeping, and payroll that doesn’t wait for a slow week. Your books get built for animal hospitals, not stretched from a generic business template.
Running a veterinary practice means juggling exam rooms, surgery schedules, vaccine inventory, and a staff that includes techs, receptionists, and associate vets. Add boarding, grooming, retail, and wellness plans as separate revenue streams, and the bookkeeping gets complicated fast.
You went into veterinary medicine to treat animals, not reconcile bank statements. Let us handle the numbers so you can stay focused on your next patient.
CFO-level guidance without the full-time cost
A full-time CFO runs six figures a year in salary alone, a cost most veterinary practices can’t justify even as revenue grows. Our Business Management Services deliver the same strategic oversight at a fraction of that price.
We help you build budgets around real seasonal patterns, plan for a second location or additional associate vet, and benchmark your practice against comparable clinics so you know whether your numbers are actually healthy or just familiar.

Frequently Asked Questions about accounting and CFO-level services for veterinary practices
How much does accounting for a veterinary practice cost?
We bundle accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services into one fixed monthly fee based on your practice’s size and needs, so there’s no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. Use our pricing calculator or schedule a consultation to get a specific number for your clinic.
Do you work with veterinary practices outside Port Arthur?
Yes. We serve veterinarians and their practices across Southeast Texas through a secure online platform that offers real-time access to your financials no matter where your clinic is located.
Can you help with major equipment purchases like X-ray or ultrasound machines?
Yes. As part of year-round tax planning, we help structure equipment purchases for Section 179 deductions and bonus depreciation, so a new X-ray unit or surgical table works in your favor at tax time instead of becoming an afterthought.
What happens if my veterinary practice gets an IRS notice?
Our Audit Protection service handles IRS notices, letters, and proceedings on your behalf, so you’re not the one on the phone with the IRS. This is included in our bundled outsourced accounting service at no additional hourly rate.
