Veterinary accounting is an essential component of any veterinary practice. It involves managing and tracking finances, ensuring accurate and timely payments, and making informed decisions to optimize financial performance. In recent times, there has been a significant increase in the demand for veterinary accounting services, driven by the growing complexity of the industry and the need for more efficient management practices. One of the key drivers of this trend is the increasing challenge of managing finances in a declining industry. Veterinary practices are facing numerous challenges, including declining revenue, reduced operating hours, and increased competition. In this context, veterinary accounting expertise is crucial to help practices navigate these challenges and make informed decisions to ensure their financial sustainability. The recent merger between BerryDunn, a Portland, Maine-based accounting firm, and Burzenski & Co., an East Haven-based veterinary accounting practice, is a prime example of the growing demand for veterinary accounting services. The merger has expanded BerryDunn’s veterinary accounting practice, adding two experts in Connecticut: Gary Glassman and Monica Dixon Perry. Gary Glassman, a certified public accountant with nearly 50 years of experience in veterinary accounting and consulting, is now a principal in BerryDunn’s outsourced accounting practice group. He has worked with numerous veterinary practices, providing expert advice on financial management, practice valuation, and strategic planning. Monica Dixon Perry, previously director of veterinary consulting services at Burzenski & Co., is now a senior manager in BerryDunn’s outsourced accounting practice group. She has over 38 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine and has overseen a multi-doctor hospital. Perry’s expertise in veterinary accounting is complemented by her extensive knowledge of veterinary medicine, enabling her to provide comprehensive advice to practices. BerryDunn’s expanded veterinary accounting practice has grown significantly, with the firm taking on 35 employees from Burzenski & Co. and its East Haven office. The firm had an existing Connecticut office in Glastonbury, which remains open. **Key Benefits of Veterinary Accounting**
