Veterinary practices are almost always busy...but does the P&L reflect that?

In this episode of FlightPlan: Quick Consults, our panel explores the disconnect between how busy a practice feels and what the financials actually show. They discuss common issues like unclear responsibility across teams, inefficient use of technology, high payroll despite feeling understaffed, and rising inventory costs without products on the shelf.

The conversation also highlights how an accurate, well-structured P&L—aligned with the VMG/AAHA Chart of Accounts—helps practice leaders avoid reactive decisions and instead focus on trends, leading indicators, and clearer financial insight.
