REVENUE CYCLE
Revenue Cycle Management
We take a systematic look at how revenue flows through your organization — billing, coding, payer contracts, denial management, and reimbursement maximization. For healthcare organizations, this includes Medicare and Medicaid strategy and cost report optimization.
Best for: Healthcare organizations leaving revenue unrealized through billing gaps or payer underpayment
FRACTIONAL CFO
Fractional CFO
All the strategic power of a CFO, embedded in your leadership team on a part-time basis. We attend key meetings, drive financial decisions, build long-range plans, and serve as thought partner to your CEO and board — at a fraction of the full-time cost.
Best for: Growing organizations that need consistent senior financial guidance without a full-time executive hire
INTERIM CFO
Interim CFO Services
When your organization needs experienced financial leadership on the ground — during a transition, turnaround, or while searching for a permanent hire — we step in immediately. Full executive presence, full accountability, zero ramp-up time.
Best for: Organizations in transition or crisis requiring dedicated, on-site financial leadership right now
ADVISORY
CFO Advisory
Strategic financial counsel when you need an experienced perspective. We work alongside your existing finance team — reviewing strategy, pressure-testing plans, and helping your internal leaders build confidence and financial capability over time.
Best for: Organizations with internal finance staff seeking senior strategic oversight and leadership coaching

—> Your leadership always knows what's coming — and has the time, clarity, and options to navigate it well.
Grant & Gap Funding Strategy
We work with you to identify the funding opportunities your organization is positioned to pursue — federal and state grants, cost-based reimbursement models, ACOs, and alternative sources — and build a systematic strategy to pursue them with intention and accountability.
—> New revenue pathways pursued strategically, with every application and opportunity supported end-to-end.

Common Questions
-
Not at all. Many of our most valued CFO partnerships are with healthy, growing organizations that need strategic financial leadership for long-term planning, board governance, or their next phase of mission growth. The fractional model makes executive-level partnership accessible without the overhead of a full-time hire.
-
An Interim CFO is a full-time, on-the-ground engagement — typically during a transition, a crisis, or a vacancy — where we assume the full responsibilities of the CFO role. A Fractional CFO is a part-time, ongoing partnership where we work alongside your team on a regular cadence. Both provide the same depth of expertise; the difference is time commitment and intensity.
-
Revenue Cycle Management is most powerful for healthcare organizations — hospitals, clinics, FQHCs, and physician practices — where billing complexity, payer relationships, and reimbursement timing significantly affect cash flow and sustainability. We've helped organizations recover significant revenue by identifying billing gaps, renegotiating payer contracts, and reducing denial rates. Service-based businesses benefit similarly through billing process improvement and AR optimization.
-
Absolutely — this is one of our deepest areas of expertise. Rural healthcare organizations face financial pressures that are genuinely unique: shrinking Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, cost report complexity, CAH and FQHC funding structures, and the challenge of serving communities where margins leave no room for error. We understand this world deeply and are proud to serve these organizations.
-
Advisory engagements are highly customized. Typically, we meet with your leadership team monthly or quarterly to review financial performance, stress-test plans, and advise on major decisions. We're also available between sessions for time-sensitive questions. The goal is to give your internal team access to senior strategic thinking without the cost of a more intensive engagement.
