Clients of VetWorth also have access to tax preparation services available through XY Tax Solutions, a nationwide virtual CPA firm which partners only with independent financial planning firms. This service is optional and charged separately from VetWorth.
Pricing Examples:

Example 1:

Julie completed her residency last year and is currently employed as an internal medicine specialist making $175,000/year. Julie still has high student debt and a net worth below $100,000. Julie is primarily looking for guidance on student loan repayment, allocating savings, properly insuring her income and assets, and establishing a strong financial foundation. Julie's fee would most likely be our firm minimum of $3,000/year ($250/month).

Example 2: 

Mark and Katie are married with 2 kids. Mark is a consultant and Katie is an emergency vet making a combined $325,000. They have saved well, reduced debt, and accumulated a net worth of $750,000. They are primarily looking for guidance with college planning, preparing for retirement, investment management, and tax reduction strategies. Their annual fee would be around $6,900 ($575/month).

Example 3:

Ryan is a self-employed contractor and Anna is a self-employed relief vet. They have combined income of $225,000 and a net worth of $400,000. As they are self-employed, their primary needs consist of solidifying cash reserves, navigating life/health/disability insurance needs, establishing retirement plans, and calculating/paying estimated taxes. They may also need assistance with business valuations and filing multiple state tax returns. Based on increased complexity, their annual fee would be around $5,250/year ($354/month).

    Are you a veterinarian considering independent practice ownership? At FivePoints, we specialize in helping veterinarians on their path toward becoming a practice owner (and current practice owners!).

    When you work with us, you can expect a collaborative relationship where we'll work together to prepare and organize your personal finances, develop your vision and business plans, and assemble your support team to set you up for success!

    You are passionate about providing the best care possible for your patients, and could not imagine working in another profession. But between being burdened by student loans, high debt-to-income ratios, and burnout, you wonder what the future holds for you in veterinary medicine.

    You may be asking yourself:

  • Is practice ownership something I should consider?
  • Am I able to become a practice owner with high student loan debt?
  • How do I even begin the process of purchasing or starting a practice?
  • Should I sacrifice savings today to pay down student loans?
  • Who can I trust to join me on my financial journey?

    At FivePoints, our specialization in working with veterinarians provides us with unique insights into the veterinary profession and equips us with the resources necessary to deliver expert advice customized to your individual circumstances. We welcome you to schedule an Introductory Call to see how we can work together to help you succeed.
