Most healthcare practice owners need someone they can think out loud with. That person should know the numbers, know the industry, and be in the conversation before the call gets made. That's the role I designed Practice Partner CPAs to play.
I'm Ronak Bhatt, CPA, MBA — principal of Practice Partner CPAs. The firm is the healthcare MSO partnership I would have wanted as an advisor to my own family's practice owners, and the one I now build for the healthcare practice owners I work with.
I came to this work the long way around. CPA-licensed in California with deep tax and accounting roots, plus an MBA that taught me to read businesses, not just balance sheets. I've worked on the audit side, the tax side, the controllership side, and the advisory side. I've built financial models for venture-backed companies, run month-end close for multi-entity groups, and structured exits for owners selling at every range.
What I kept seeing across all of it was the same gap: healthcare practice owners — people doing extraordinary clinical work — were systematically under-served by their financial advisors. Their CPAs filed returns. Their bookkeepers reconciled accounts. Nobody was actually in the operating rhythm of the business. Nobody was tracking the metrics that mattered for their specialty. Nobody was at the table when the consequential decisions got made. And every month a new DSO or PE-backed MSO would call, offering to "help" by buying 70% of the practice.
Practice Partner CPAs was built to be the third option. Not a generalist CPA. Not a consolidator. A real MSO partnership delivered fee-for-service to practice owners who refuse to sell.
The engagement looks like this: I am personally the principal partner on every engagement. Not a junior associate. Not a gatekept email queue. When you sign with Practice Partner CPAs, you sign with me. I deliver the financial infrastructure — monthly close, KPI dashboards, tax strategy, vendor introductions — and I'm in the room for the calls that matter. Hiring an associate. Opening a second location. Buying the building. Evaluating a DSO offer. Structuring succession. Those conversations don't happen well alone.
That's the partnership. That's what I'm building. If your practice is at the stage where it would benefit from this level of partnership, I'd like to meet you.

Every client at Practice Partner CPAs is a healthcare practice owner. The specialty depth is real because the entire firm is healthcare-only.
Practice Partner CPAs operates as a registered fictitious business name of Milestone Certified Public Accountants, Inc. — a full California CPA firm. The parent structure provides the institutional foundation: professional liability coverage, regulatory compliance, multi-year operating history, and the audit-grade rigor that healthcare practice owners need.
The Practice Partner CPAs offering is the healthcare-specialty MSO partnership built on top of that foundation. The institutional credibility is Milestone. The healthcare specialty, MSO positioning, and direct-partner-access engagement model is Practice Partner CPAs.
When you engage Practice Partner CPAs, you're engaging both: the firm-grade backing of a registered CPA firm, with the personal partnership of a single principal who specializes exclusively in healthcare practice owners.
