SVA's Veterinary Consulting Expertise Benefits Great Lakes Veterinary Clinic

Great Lakes Veterinary Clinic is a small animal clinic focusing on dogs and cats that serves the Neenah, WI area. Randy Van Maanen and his staff take pride in promoting the health and well-being of their patients. In business for over 24 years, they differentiate their practice by offering honest and compassionate patient care.

“As our clinic grew, we knew that we needed more – not only an accountant, but someone who was an advisor,” says Randy. “Upon the recommendation of a colleague, we met with SVA. We were completely blown away by their knowledge of our industry and the ability to benchmark our practice against other practices in the geographic area was priceless.”

When SVA meets with the leadership at Great Lake Veterinary Clinic, the team brings an agenda that not only covers tax planning, but a discussion on where the practice is and where it wants to be in the future. That discussion includes what the challenges are, how they compare to peers, and what the recommendations are on where they should focus future growth. Randy says, “To come to us as owners of a practice and offer us an agenda that sounds more like a veterinary consultant than a tax preparer…… is priceless.”

Randy will tell you 3 things that really sets SVA apart:

1. Trusted Knowledge. SVA has in-depth knowledge of the veterinary industry which gave Randy the peace of mind that he could trust the advice he received.
2.  Commitment. When a new bookkeeper joined the practice, SVA helped with the onboarding process and training to ensure they understood how to use the software, as well as understanding the importance of the entries they were making.
3. SVA Cares. SVA discusses Randy’s plans and goals for his personal finances, future retirement, and personal taxes.

In summary, Randy says, “If you are looking for an accounting firm that is so much more than accounting – a business advocate and advisor that can help you grow your practice, I highly recommend SVA.”
