VETpay HCM was created with one goal in mind: to give veterinary practices a payroll solution they can finally trust.
Founded by Gene Marshall, Jharid Pratt, Anthony LaPolla, Heather Piazza, and Chris Cunningham, VetPay HCM brings together decades of payroll, tax, HR, and operational expertise to create the first all-in-one payroll and HR solution built exclusively for veterinary practices.
VETpay HCM blends expert financial knowledge with real-world payroll experience to streamline operations, ensure compliance, and support the people who care for animals every day.
At VETpay HCM, we believe veterinary teams deserve more: more clarity, support, and confidence in payroll and HR.
A veterinary CPA and a payroll industry veteran created VETpay HCM to solve the real, day-to-day challenges veterinary practices face. No more struggling with confusing systems, missed compliance steps, or disconnected support. It’s all here. Built for you. In one spot.
But at the end of the day, it’s not the platform that makes the difference; it’s the people. We strive to always exceed expectations when it comes to VETpay HCM customer service. Our dedicated, U.S.-based representatives understand your industry and will be there for you when you need them most.
We’re here so you can pay your team accurately, stay compliant with ease, and get back to what you do best, caring for animals and leading strong, happy teams.
Because your practice deserves more than a one-size-fits-all payroll system or generic HR Support.
VETpay HCM was built by veterinary professionals for veterinary professionals, designed around the unique challenges and workflows of your practice. Backed by deep expertise in veterinary finance, payroll, and compliance, VETpay HCM goes beyond processing paychecks. It empowers your entire team, streamlines operations, and helps you stay compliant—all while giving you back time to focus on what matters most: patient care and practice growth.
We are not an 800 number or a ticket system. Our team fully integrates into your clinic as one of your own, providing personalized and hands-on support that feels like an extension of your internal team.
For practices that need deeper people strategy and compliance support, VETpay HCM offers dedicated fractional HR Advisory services, giving you access to expert guidance on employee relations, policy development, recruitment, performance management, and culture-building. It’s like having a seasoned HR leader by your side—without the full-time cost.
Ensure your practice is compliant with federal and state employment laws without the risk of costly penalties.
Implement performance management tools that encourage feedback, support, and growth for your teams.
Educate staff on leadership development, onboarding, communication, and more to empower your teams with the tools they need to thrive.
Everything lives in one simple, secure platform, from onboarding to benefits to tax filing to insurance to retirement to HR.

Granite Peak has been great! They have been a tremendous resource to my veterinary clinic. They do CEs that are useful, and have a great staff who has even helped us with marketing and branding ideas! I am lucky to have them and would quickly recommend them to any vets looking for a CPA and a team to help you with your business.

I hired Granite Peak to assist me with the sale of my veterinary practice. Not having much accounting knowledge, they guided me through the entire sale and helped negotiate the deal in such a way that both the buyer and seller came away satisfied. They were very thorough and professional throughout, and their fees were fair. I was so pleased with his efforts that I engaged their firm for my personal taxes. I recommend Granite Peak without reservation.

They are accessible, dependable, and experts in their field. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this company, their staff and their expertise. We have the outmost confidence in their advice and their team. Our business is thriving in part to the help of Granite Peak.
