and knows how to align financials with practice management reports.

AHAA/VMG Veterinary Chart of Accounts
Why does this matter?
Endorsed by several key veterinary organizations and industry partners, including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA), and VetPartners, the AAHA/VMG Chart of Accounts is the standard for classifying and aggregating revenue, expense, and balance sheet accounts in small-animal veterinary practice.
We utilize the AAHA/VMG Chart of Accounts to ensure that your financial reports are structured in a manner that aligns with the specific operational needs of veterinary practices. This allows accurate benchmarking, clear insight into service-line profitability, and meaningful KPIs—so you’re not just tracking numbers, you’re making informed business decisions based on reliable, industry-standard data.
