While the well-being of patients is your first priority, maintaining the health of your business and personal finances is also critical. A healthcare system under reform, increasing client expectations, incentive-based reimbursements (MACRA), and higher labor, supply, and insurance costs require you to also be forward thinking. CohnReznick specializes in the financial needs of medical professionals. Employing a collaborative approach and entrepreneurial mindset, we not only create business efficiencies and strengthen profit streams, we manage your personal wealth as well.
Each member of our team of highly credentialed professionals has dedicated his or her career to serving the medical community. This unique experience is an asset, and the team’s goal is to position your practice for long-term success.
