Financial Planning

We provide **premium cloud-based practice & workflow management software** solutions to veterinary businesses around the world. Our intuitive and innovative **ezyVet & Vet Radar** products transform the way our customers manage their clinics, specialist centres, hospitals or universities by giving them more time and the tools to better care for our furry friends.

**So, what's your mission?**
Here's some backstory to understand the bigger picture of where you fit in. In 2021 ezyVet & Vet Radar became part of the IDEXX family, we ceased to trade as independent companies and became flagship products within IDEXX's Veterinary Software and Services global line of business. Post acquisition we intentionally limited integrating systems and process, making sure not to mess with the winning formula. Great decision that was, as it successfully put us on track to continue double digit ARR growth year on year and we're not slowing down anytime soon. Awesome and happy days for sure but our next challenge is to conclude our transition into the one Line of Business and evolved ways of working which is tricky to navigate without rock solid management information.
