"I was not satisfied with my previous CPA. I met Gary 13 years ago, and have not regretted picking the firm for one minute. They go above and beyond the accounting services. Gary is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the veterinarian industry. He has also helped me save a lot of money, is well versed and has good ideas that have helped my practice. These ideas have brought an increase in sales. The entire firm is quick to respond and is very helpful. They always provide great advice and spectacular service."
- Robert H., VMD, Owner - Meriden & Wallingford Veterinary Associates
“We selected them about 10 years ago before I came into accounting/finance. When I took over finance for the company I started working with Burzenski and Company on an ongoing basis. The team is very knowledgeable, very responsive and easy to talk to. They are very professional. I have friends that have CPA firms. I think because the Burzenski staff is so close to our business, all other firms cannot beat them out. They’re local and not a big corporation; much more personable. They’re an outstanding firm, from top to bottom. They do things in a very short period of time; get the job done quickly and in a friendly manner. They are always there.”
- Bill C., Vice President of Finance - Microboard Processing, Inc.
"As veterinary and shelter architects it's important for us to know how much you have to spend on a project and how you want to spend it. For example, would your dollars be better spent on larger spaces or more medical equipment? We do our best work when we are given specific parameters to meet our clients' goals and needs. That's where good financial management comes in, and Gary Glassman from Burzenski & Company. I honestly cannot remember when we first started working with Gary on projects. I believe he was the accountant for a number of our clients before we knew him personally. Even if he was not directly visible to us, we felt his presence.
Gary has been advising veterinarians for many years. Frankly, Gary is not flashy! But he has in-depth knowledge of what veterinarians can afford and should budget for when it comes time to build a new project. Gary also has the ability to look beyond the obvious and to develop financial strategies that enable rather than obstruct.
Over the years, Gary has been instrumental in helping his clients and ours develop answers to what defines their practices and the facilities where they practice. We know that some of our most successful clients are those who took advantage of his expertise.
The moral of the story: everyone needs good advice. We consider it essential to provide our clients with the best information possible. And while we are experts on veterinary facility design, we admit that we are not experts on every aspect of the veterinary business. That's why we created Animal Arts Connect - so we could help our clients get the best advice possible from the ground up."
- Mark R. H., AIA, NCARB, Partner - Animal Arts, Boulder, Colorado
“I have been with Burzenski for 25 years. They have been great to work with. They really know what they’re doing, keep you out of trouble and give good advice. I’ve never had to worry about if I was doing the wrong or right thing, if I have done anything beyond my knowledge, one of the staff has always steered me straight. Their rates are very reasonable, not expensive for what you are getting. If you want good advice and your taxes done right, and not have to worry, these are the guys who can do it.They are always available to talk to, no matter what time of day and whatever situation you may be in.”
- Joe T.
“Burzenski and Company is willing to get things done the right way. They are competent and knowledgeable, and get the job done right. They’re a big enough firm, but not too big. They know what’s going on with every client. They’re very detail oriented with a very quick response time. Ralph and John have been around for a while; they bring great value to clients.”
- Phil N. - N&S Electric Inc.
"I like the business management and consulting expertise of Burzenski and Company. We have regular phone conversations on business and financial performance. That’s where I find additional value. Gary knows the industry and he looks to really help develop the business and the profitability of the business. He visits our office about once a year and it’s nice to see him face to face. We do a lot of our work over the phone, electronic filing and everyone is online or faxed. Distance has never been an issue. We get our work done without seeing one another all the time."
- Tom P. - Nassau Veterinary Hospital
“Burzenski and Company is the only firm I’ve ever used. They are very honest, always available and quite knowledgeable.”
Karen A.
"Burzenski and Company does what we need and gives us guidance in the veterinarian world. They provide excellent information and while they may not be the least expensive, they are well worth it. They are very accessible by phone and email. Not having our CPA very close to our office has been fine. We make up for the distance between our office and theirs. Today’s technology allows us to not have to meet face to face."
- David C., DVM, Owner - Liverpool Animal Health Center, Liverpool, NY
“My experience has been that there are some companies that will take the information you give them, and that’s it. Burzenski and Company will go through it in detail and almost act as your father.”
- Joe T.
"Burzenski & Company is very professional and responsive. We’ve been with them for 15 years. Gary is well respected and has a good reputation when it comes to the veterinarian industry. We can talk to him and his team about anything that’s going on and get information that’s specific to us. It makes all the difference in the world. I have a great amount of faith in the work they do. They are a very solid accounting firm who has the answers."
- Ken A., Hospital Administrator, -New Haven Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine
“Burzenski and Company has been very trustworthy and my results with them have been positive. The number one thing that sets them apart from other firms is their knowledge. They are very professional and I have been very satisfied with the results. I feel very comfortable calling anyone at their office for advice. They are much more thorough than my previous firm and trust is most important to me when picking a CPA.”
- Dorothy S.
"We have used the veterinary consulting services of Andreas Pahl. He is very engaging and very sharp. We benefitted tremendously from his consulting management services and in helping us with a myriad of human resources issues."
- Mary Ann S.
“I was initially grandfathered in based on his positive experience. However, I don’t know that I could have survived my first year of practice ownership as a young veterinarian without the insight of the staff at Burzenski. They provided me with accounting services. The practice management services provided by the firm’s veterinary consultant Andreas Pahl and the extensive understanding of both what it takes to maintain a successful growing business, and more specifically, a veterinary practice, through firm partners Gary Glassman, CPA and Melody Mann-Fox, CPA, helped me survive one of the most challenging years of my young career. With my lack of education in business management, my less-than-ideal understanding of tax laws and accounting, and my unrealistic deep-seated fears of the IRS eased by Jeff Bliss, the accounting director at Burzenski. With each conference call, not one time did I ever feel incompetent or that I had made the wrong decision by pursuing this dream. I’m definitely a “Burzenski-lifer,” and will stick with them during the extent of my professional career.”
