The Pet Care Experts: Financial Advisory
It's easy to get lost in the day-to-day operations of your pet resort, clinic or shop and neglect your ability to work on the business. Clean financials are often an afterthought mainly visited during tax season or when applying for a loan. Operational software records a lot of data, but most facility owners don't use that information to get meaningful statistics that can be used to track profitability and to identify improvement opportunities.
These are the reasons we added this Financial Services department to our firm. We have reviewed, analyzed and dissected thousands of pet industry financials and learned the following:
- The majority of pet care business owners don't have up-to-date, readily available financial statements
- Over 99% don't have an industry specific Chart of Accounts but instead a generic, 'services' business category
- Businesses lose value due to poor, inaccurate or messy financials
- Owners have no understanding which revenue streams are profitable and which ones might actually cost them money
- Owners don't track industry-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), nor do they know how their business fits within the industry
We decided to change all that. We work with all levels of business owners, from the small start-up with big dreams to the large, multi-site owner ready to cash in on their future. We created three custom plans that are suitable for the stage you're in and your budget. We are industry experts, which is reflected in our plans and the service we provide.
Our team of bookkeepers work only with pet industry businesses. We know how to allocate expenses correctly to minimize tax consequences and since we have financial data from hundreds of pet care facilities, all comparison reports we provide are based on actual industry data.
All of our plans include the following:
- Industry specific Chart of Accounts to allocate expenses
- An assigned, personal bookkeeper who works closely with your business. You will have direct access to this person via phone and email
- Relevant and readable monthly financial statements that allow you to make informed business decisions
- Online dashboard that is updated monthly with all of your relevant financial and benchmarking data
- If you choose the 'SELL' plan, you will get a quarterly consulting call with our President, Teija Heikkilä, who will provide tangible, actionable advice on how to improve your business. All work and information is completed confidentially and securely
Take a look around and when you're ready to truly understand your business and how you can affect its profitability, value and salability, contact us!
