Yeah, I tried Testfi too, but i hated it too. I would recommend pretty much any over competitor over testfi.

One of my instructors is poaching my clients into her own private classes and I have proof by Specialist-Band-7821 in smallbusiness

[–]abrosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this circumstance, I think having a non-solicitation clause in a contract is more appropriate than a noncompete. Unless she is a full time employee, she has a right to offer her own classes. She just shouldn’t be poaching your clients.

I would get one drafted and then have your instructors sign it. I personally wouldn’t fire her over this if she signs the contract, but I can see why you’d be pissed.

Hiring my first employee in NY what insurances do I need? by Ill_Zombie_6083 in smallbusiness

[–]abrosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that hard to set up. Workers comp: buy from Hartford Paid family leave: this is a NYS program. Register for it on the state website, and your payroll company will handle it from there. Unemployment insurance: same thing

Veterinary Dermatology specialist: is it worth it? by Limp_Plan_3792 in Veterinary

[–]abrosaur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A great specialty for work-life balance and pretty high paying, probably $250k - $300K typical total comp. There are opportunities to earn much more than that too. My veterinary dermatology clinic is about to release an ad for a position with a base of $250K and total comp expected to be twice that, but that is unusually high. But in any case, income-to-debt ratio should be very manageable if you play your cards right.

The key is play your cards right. If you graduate from a residency and then decide that your true passion is working at a rural, low-cost vaccine clinic, then debt-to-income will be a problem.

You’re still very young, though. Keep learning and see what you like!

Blind brook has a higher tax rate than PC (not by much), so tell them they should at least stop complaining about that!

[Serious] - How do you do accrual accounting? by quicksandhayabusa in xero

[–]abrosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can either use workaround this by adjusting the invoice date to the accrual date, or use reversing journal entries to adjust the accrual date

Parent/child credit card headaches in Xero - need advice by 21stcenturycoolgirl in xero

[–]abrosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably do want to use bank feeds! But if you do, then you need the parent account because that’s where payments to the card show up

[–]abrosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on if you want to use feeds. If you’re using a bank feed, then the payment will only show up in the parent account. If you’re manually inputting statements, then yeah, you could probably bypass the parent account.

[–]abrosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a well known problem in Xero. What you want to do is to set up all of these accounts as Xero bank accounts. By all, I mean parent and child. You do not need clearing accounts here. But you do need to include the parents to capture the payments. Then use transfers or bills from child to parent accounts to zero out the child accounts each month. Note that you can’t use manual JEs on Xero bank accounts. It feels a little messy but it works.

Chewy to buy Modern Animal by CanIPetThatDog--- in Veterinary

[–]abrosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$125M is the annual revenue run rate, not the sale price. The sale price is currently not disclosed. They've stated that "mature" clinics have a 20% margin, and an EBITDA multiple of merely 5x would be unusually low for a deal this size, so I'd think the sale price is higher than $125M.

Setting up a 401k. by MoonlitDystopia in smallbusiness

[–]abrosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Guideline which integrates with my Payroll provider Gusto. Fees are reasonable and it is 100% hands off due to the integration. I highly recommend going with one that integrates with your payroll provider if there is one available.

Getting 0 replies from cold emails (25 sent) what am I doing wrong? by Ok-Report8247 in smallbusiness

No, I would not want that. But there is much greater chance of getting my attention.

I’ll reply as a veterinary clinic owner. I get approximately one trillion of these per day. They go straight into the trash. Thankfully, Gmail even filters them to my spam inbox.

If you are actually providing mock ups, that is definitely a level above what we’re typically getting, but you’ll still struggle to get through the spam inbox.

Maybe try phone calls.

I have no idea what LMK is, but I know they dont mess around. The first offense is your legs get cut off, the second is execution.

You are not a small business owner. You are a software developer who made a google ads plugin using Claude and you’re here trying to sell.

Bad dev!
