FREE WEBINAR FOR VETERINARY PRACTICE OWNERS:

A Practical Guide to Understanding Profit, Efficiency, and the True Value of Your Veterinary Practice

What the Heck

Is EBITDA?

Learn how to read your Profit & Loss statement like a CFO, track your practice’s real performance, and unlock the financial potential hidden in your numbers.

Most veterinarians work incredibly hard — yet still feel financial pressure, uncertainty, or frustration when it comes to profitability. One of the biggest reasons? EBITDA is misunderstood, ignored, or only reviewed far too late.

In this webinar, Dr. Joel Parker, DVM breaks down exactly what EBITDA is, why it matters, and how it serves as the single most important indicator of your practice’s efficiency, profitability, and long-term value.

You’ll learn how EBITDA goes far beyond revenue, showing what’s truly left over after expenses — and why waiting until year-end to review your numbers is already too late. Instead, Dr. Parker teaches you how to use your monthly Profit & Loss statement like practice bloodwork, allowing you to diagnose issues early and course-correct before problems become permanent

The 5 core expense categories that determine whether your practice thrives or struggles

Who This Webinar Is For

This webinar is ideal for:

Veterinary practice owners
Associate veterinarians considering ownership
Practice owners planning for growth, transition, or sale
Any veterinarian who wants less stress and more control over their numbers

Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply trying to run a better practice, understanding EBITDA is no longer optional — it’s essential.

Why This Matters

Practices that fail to track EBITDA often experience:

Chronic cash-flow stress
Inability to pay suppliers or staff competitively
“Profit compression” from rising expenses and outdated fees
Low or zero practice valuation (so-called NOLO practices)

Practices that understand and manage EBITDA, on the other hand, can reach 20–22% profitability, dramatically increasing both income and long-term equity

About The Presenter

Dr. Joel Parker, DVM

Two years after graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Joel Parker established his first private practice, quickly discovering the challenges of ownership. By implementing proven management systems, he transformed his clinic into a Standing Ovation Practice™—a model of operational excellence and exceptional client care.

Building on this success, Dr. Parker founded Veterinary Endoscopy Solutions (“Fiberoptics for Unusual Places™”) and Canine Equipment (“Gear Fer Dogs™”), expanding his expertise in veterinary innovation and animal health. His work in endoscopy deepened his interest in companion animal nutrition, leading to advisory roles with Mars Corporation, Walthams, and Royal Canin.

In 2004, Dr. Parker launched Veterinary Practice Solutions (VPS), a leading firm in veterinary management consulting. Through initiatives like Whiteboard Wednesdays and online training programs, he has guided thousands of veterinarians toward greater time, financial, and leadership freedom.

In 2024, he founded Parker Business Systems (PBS), a hybrid consulting firm helping practice owners optimize profitability and prepare for successful ownership transitions.

A lifelong advocate for private practice ownership, Dr. Parker divides his time between Vancouver, BC, and Clearwater, Florida, where he enjoys music, cooking, and time with his family and dogs.
