Engagement Type 01

Post-Acquisition Integration

PE firms acquire animal hospital groups and immediately face a 90-day clock. We deliver a structured integration roadmap that standardizes clinical operations, consolidates vendor contracts, and installs management reporting before the first board deck is due.

Multi-Location SOP Standardization

Boarding chains and veterinary groups running 10–80 locations on tribal knowledge. We audit every location, identify the variance causing margin bleed, and deploy a single operational standard that scales without adding headcount.

Margin Recovery & Revenue Ops

CFOs watching EBITDA compress quarter over quarter without a clear diagnosis. We run a 30-day operational audit — scheduling efficiency, labor allocation, service pricing, supplier terms — and return a ranked list of recoverable margin with implementation owners.
