Trailblazers in Veterinary Accounting and Consulting Propel BerryDunn’s Industry Leadership
BerryDunn, a full-service accounting, tax, and consulting firm, recently merged with Connecticut-based Burzenski & Company, a partnership that has significantly accelerated BerryDunn’s expansion into the national veterinary practice market. Led by two industry pioneers, Gary Glassman and Monica Dixon Perry, the veterinary team brings a full-service approach to both financial management and practice management consulting.
Gary Glassman joined BerryDunn as part of the Burzenski merger and, as a Principal in the Outsourced Accounting Practice Group, brings nearly 50 years of veterinary accounting and consulting service experience and commitment to the firm. A frequent speaker at national veterinary conferences, he specializes in financial management and tax planning for veterinary practices and business owners. Glassman’s deep expertise in the areas of practice valuation and sales, merger and acquisition activity, and hospital expansion and financing broadens BerryDunn’s range of outsourced accounting services tailored to the unique needs of veterinary practices.
“We help vet practices not only interpret their financial data but also compare it to industry benchmarks, averages, and target profitability levels, guiding them through whatever steps and risks are necessary to grow and succeed,” said Glassman. “The merger positions BerryDunn to provide more robust services to our veterinary clients, including reporting, benchmarking, and business consulting.”
Glassman further solidifies his position in the veterinary industry as a member of the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and as a charter member of VetPartners, a national organization of veterinary advisors and consultants. He also played a pivotal role in the formation of the Strategic Growth Alliance (SGA), a peer study group of veterinarians that has been on the leading edge of practice management since its establishment.
Monica Dixon Perry, a Senior Manager in BerryDunn’s Outsourced Accounting Practice Group, also joined the firm as part of the merger with Burzenski. Her career has spanned diverse roles in veterinary leadership, from overseeing a multi-doctor hospital to serving as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Mission Veterinary Partners. With more than 38 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine, Perry is a recognized thought leader and prominent speaker on the global veterinary speaking circuit.
In 2024, Perry served as President of VetPartners and was instrumental in the development of the VetPartners Utilization Guide, an innovative industry resource designed to help veterinary practices improve efficiency and profitability. Named the Practice Management Speaker of the Year at the 2022 VMX Veterinary Meeting and Expo, Perry’s national industry knowledge brings added insight and expertise to BerryDunn clients.
“Today’s veterinary practices are operating in an increasingly challenging environment in which many hospitals are experiencing declining revenue,” said Kathy Parker, Principal and Practice Group Leader of the Outsourced Accounting Practice Group. “At BerryDunn, we help clients anticipate potential problems and improve their efficiency so they can achieve optimal financial health.”
BerryDunn’s expansion into the national veterinary practice market is contributing to the overall increase in the firm’s outsourced accounting service offerings, which provide clients with fully staffed accounting departments for short- or long-term assignments. Over the past three years, BerryDunn’s Outsourced Accounting Practice Group has grown more than 175%. In addition to supporting veterinary practices, BerryDunn also offers outsourced accounting and consulting services for family office, healthcare, nonprofit, technology, and manufacturing clients.
