William Wickel, CPA
Practice Manager (shown with my special 3-leg boy, Pete, who beat the odds and lived a wonderful extra year with cancer just to be with me - I sure miss him!)

William graduated from Texas A&M University in December of 1986 and December of 1989 with bachelor degrees in Business Management and Accounting, respectively.  He achieved the distinction of graduating in the top 10% of his class, Cum Laude, in earning the accounting degree and had a 4.00 GPA in all of his accounting classes.

Between the two degrees, he worked for The Houston Post as an Assistant District Manager supervising 20 route carriers.  After earning the accounting degree in December 1989, William took a position with Spain, Price, Reader & Thompson, a Houston based accounting and business consulting firm, and worked there full-time until April 1998.  He continued part-time employment with this firm until April 2000.

William attained his certified public accountant (CPA) status when he passed the CPA 2˝-day examination on his first attempt in May 1991.  During his employment with Spain, Price, Reader & Thompson, his work focused on helping small businesses in the Houston area with accounting, tax, and business planning and forecasting issues.

In June 1997, William helped open the practice with his wife, Dr. Julie Wickel.  He worked part-time at Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital® until April 2000 when he finally was able to switch to full-time status.

William is a member of the AICPA and VHMA.  In maintaining his CPA license, William stays current on accounting and tax issues by surpassing the 40 required hours per year of continuing education.  As part of this requirement, he typically attends one of the large veterinary conferences every couple of years to stay current on management trends and accounting issues that are unique to the veterinary industry. 

His duties include performing/supervising all financial related functions for the hospital, computer network administrator, building & equipment maintenance supervisor, marketing director, and client care supervisor.
