About Us

Accounting & Advisory for Veterinary Practices

Reliable Financial Partners for Animal Hospitals, Clinics & Mobile Vets

You devote your work to caring for animals and supporting their owners. We devote our work to helping your practice thrive — financially, operationally, and strategically. At Hensley CPA Firm, we specialize in serving small-animal clinics, equine practices, mobile units, and multi-location hospitals. Our goal is to help you reduce taxes, improve cash flow, strengthen your team, and plan for long-term growth — so you can stay focused on patient care.

Challenges We Solve

  • Complex Revenue Streams
    Wellness plans, diagnostics, surgery, boarding, grooming, and retail create multiple service lines. We track profitability across every service to clarify where your strongest financial drivers are.

  • High Equipment & Supply Costs
    Digital X-ray, ultrasound, dental units, labs, and pharmaceuticals require major investment. We maximize Section 179, bonus depreciation, and OBBB benefits to lower your tax burden.

  • Staffing & Technician Retention
    Your techs and support staff are essential. We design payroll and incentive structures — including CE stipends, weekend/holiday differentials — that retain talent while staying compliant.

  • Practice Ownership Changes & Transitions
    Selling, onboarding partners, acquiring a clinic, or planning retirement? We guide you through valuations and tax-efficient transition strategies to protect equity and legacy.
