Bookkeeping for veterinary clinics
A vet clinic is three businesses under one roof: exams and procedures, a pharmacy, and often boarding or grooming. When they share one revenue line, you cannot tell which one carries the practice. Mispar separates them, books drug and supply inventory properly, and gives you monthly numbers you can use to price and staff. Plans start at $229/mo.
Best for: Small-animal and mixed-practice vet clinics, emergency and urgent-care hospitals, mobile vets, and clinics that add boarding or grooming.

How Mispar keeps your veterinary clinic books clean
Industry-specific chart of accounts and categorization — not generic buckets that hide what matters.
Revenue by service line
Exams, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, boarding and retail pet food booked to separate lines, so you see which services earn the margin.
Pharmacy and drug inventory
Medication and vaccine purchases tracked against what was dispensed, so cost of goods sold follows actual use and not the date a distributor bill arrives.
Wellness plans
Monthly plan payments split between the care delivered and the part still owed to the client, so a busy month of vaccines does not look like a bad one.
Associate and tech pay
Associate vets on W-2 or on production-based pay, plus technicians and kennel staff, reconciled to payroll with relief and per-diem vets classified correctly.
Equipment and financing
Imaging, lab analyzers and surgical equipment capitalized, with loan interest and principal booked apart.
Client credits and refunds
Deposits for procedures, account credits and refunds held as liabilities until the service is done.
A simple, predictable process
From kickoff to your first clean close, here is exactly what happens.
Practice-software mapping
We map your practice-management and payment exports to service lines so the monthly import is the same each time.
Reconcile deposits and merchant fees
Card batches, third-party financing payouts and cash reconciled to the bank, with processing fees booked separately.
Inventory and plan adjustments
Month-end entries for drug and supply inventory and for wellness-plan balances.
Monthly service-line review
Revenue and margin by service line, payroll as a share of revenue, and a short list of anything that looks off.
Veterinary Clinics bookkeeping — your questions
Can you separate pharmacy from exam revenue?
Yes. We book pharmacy and retail sales to their own lines and match them with drug cost, so you can see what the pharmacy actually contributes.
How do you treat wellness plan payments?
A plan fee is collected monthly but the care is delivered over the year. We book the cash and recognize the revenue as services are used, so months line up with the work.
Do you work with our practice-management software?
We work from exports and bank feeds, and set up a repeatable mapping so each month's close uses the same structure.
How are relief and per-diem vets handled?
Relief vets are classified as employees or contractors based on how they work, with 1099 data ready at year-end if they are contractors.
Can you help us decide if a second location pays?
If you track the clinics as separate classes, we report revenue, payroll and margin for each, so a second site is judged on its own numbers.
