What is VetBooks?
VetBooks is a premier provider of back office bookkeeping for the veterinary community. VetBooks provides veterinarians, practice managers and bookkeepers clear insight into the financial health of their practice so they can make better business decisions in real-time, forecast for investment and growth, and spend more time taking care of their patients.
Do I still need an accountant?
The simple answer is “yes.” Vetbooks is not an accounting firm but our services do organize and streamline your bookkeeping so that it makes your CPA’s job a lot easier and should save you money.
Does VetBooks require special training?
VetBooks does not require any training or specialized skills. There are easy-to-follow step-by-step set up instructions. Our On Boarding Team and Client Success Managers will guide you along the way.
Will I still need a bookkeeper?
Not all veterinary practices are alike and as such retaining the services of a bookkeeper is at the discretion of the owner of the practice. VetBooks organizes and streamlines the process allowing your existing bookkeeper to tend to other matters of assisting the practice to run smoother.
Do I need special software to run VetBooks?
There is no special software required for your practice.
Is VetBooks just like Quick Books, Sage, Peachtree or any other bookkeeping software?
Will I still need to keep using my existing bookkeeping software?
Will my accountant need to change accounting methods?
Why should I use a veterinary-specific chart of accounts?

- Create a 1:1 relationship between the practice’s revenue and direct costs
- Identify segment profitability
Will I be locked into a contract if I sign up for VetBooks?
