Your practice is growing. Your financial visibility isn't.

Most well-run medical practices target a net profit margin between 15% and 25%, depending on specialty, payer mix, and overhead structure. A fractional CFO can benchmark your practice against industry standards and identify the specific levers that move your margin, whether that is renegotiating payer contracts, optimizing staffing ratios, or reducing supply costs.

Healthcare accounting requires deep knowledge of revenue cycle management, payer reimbursement timing, provider compensation models, and compliance requirements that general CPAs rarely encounter. A specialized healthcare accountant understands how to properly recognize revenue from insurance claims, track payer-level profitability, and structure financials for practice valuation or partnership buy-ins.

Provider-level profitability requires allocating collections, direct compensation, malpractice insurance, and a fair share of overhead to each provider. We build provider P&L dashboards that show contribution margin per physician so you can make data-driven decisions about compensation structures, hiring, and capacity planning.

Practices generating $3M to $30M in revenue typically need CFO-level strategic guidance but cannot justify a $250K+ full-time salary. A fractional CFO delivers cash flow forecasting, payer contract analysis, expansion modeling, and board-level reporting at a fraction of the cost, usually scaling involvement as your practice grows.

Payer mix analysis reveals which insurance contracts are profitable and which are actually losing you money after accounting for claim denial rates, reimbursement timing, and administrative burden. Armed with this data, you can renegotiate underperforming contracts, adjust your patient acquisition strategy, and focus capacity on higher-margin service lines.
