The MSO Platform · Operating Infrastructure

The operating platform that traditionally cost 70% of your practice.

Now it's a monthly partnership. Practice Partner CPAs delivers the back-office infrastructure of a traditional MSO — financial operations, tax strategy, KPI visibility, vendor network, strategic advisory, regulatory tracking — without taking equity. Eight integrated functions. One direct CPA + MBA partner. Built only for healthcare practices.

The Problem

You've been offered two options. Neither one solves the actual problem.

A traditional MSO consolidates the back-office of multiple practices. The pitch to the practice owner is: "Sell us 70% of your equity and we'll give you the operating leverage — better tax strategy, better vendor pricing, better operational infrastructure than you could ever afford alone." The math often works. The trade-off is loss of ownership, loss of operating control, and a new employment relationship with the consolidator.

The generalist CPA, meanwhile, is too thin to deliver real specialty leverage. They file your returns, maybe reconcile your books, and disappear. You build the operating layer yourself — by hand, late at night.

The Eight Functions

Eight operating functions. One integrated partnership.

Each function lives on its own. Together they deliver the operating leverage of a traditional MSO. Every engagement at every tier includes the platform — only the depth, frequency, and scope vary by tier.

01
Financial Operations

Your books are closed by the 10th. Every month.

They're GAAP-compliant. They tie to last year. The bank rec is clean. The financial picture is accurate, current, and trustworthy. The end of every month is not a fire drill — it's a routine.

  • Monthly close by the 10th business day
  • Bank, credit card, and merchant reconciliations
  • Multi-entity consolidation when applicable
  • Rolling 13-week cash flow forecasting
  • Year-over-year and budget-vs-actual reporting
  • Quarterly financial review with Ronak
02
Practice Health Dashboard

Open one dashboard and know exactly how the practice is doing.

Specialty-specific KPIs updated monthly. The metrics that drive your specialty, not generic small-business indicators. Revenue per provider. Payer mix profitability. AR aging. Capacity utilization. Whatever moves the needle in your practice gets tracked.

  • Specialty-specific KPI dashboard refreshed monthly
  • Specialty benchmarks (your numbers vs. peers)
  • 12-month rolling trend visualization
  • Mobile-friendly, accessible from anywhere
  • Monthly dashboard review with Ronak
03
Tax Strategy & Compliance

You'll never feel a March surprise again.

Tax planning runs all year. We identify strategies months in advance, model them against your projected income, and back them with actual filings — not theoretical projections. The work compounds: each year's planning becomes the foundation for the next.

  • Quarterly tax planning sessions (minimum)
  • S-corp reasonable compensation analysis
  • Retirement plan design (Solo 401(k), Cash Balance, DB)
  • Cost segregation on owned real estate
  • PTE elections (CA SALT-cap workaround) and equivalents
  • Equipment depreciation timing (Section 179, bonus)
  • Federal + state return preparation and filing
  • IRS / state representation when needed
04
Capital Allocation & Comp Modeling

The math is done before the conversation.

Hiring decisions, associate comp negotiations, partner buy-ins, owner draws — all run through real modeling first. You walk into the conversation with the answer already, not the question.

  • Associate / clinician hiring models (cost vs. production)
  • Compensation structure design (% of collections, salary + bonus, hybrid)
  • Partner buy-in / buy-out structuring
  • Owner draw optimization
  • Equity vesting schedules when relevant
  • Bonus pool modeling
05
Vendor & Real Estate Strategy

You don't start from scratch on Google.

When you need a healthcare-specialized attorney, banker, retirement plan administrator, broker, or M&A advisor — you get a vetted introduction from someone who's worked with them on healthcare clients. The network is one of the highest-value deliverables of the partnership.

  • Vetted introductions: attorneys, bankers, RIAs, plan administrators, brokers, M&A advisors, insurance specialists
  • Real estate strategy (own vs. lease analysis, cost seg, 1031 exchanges)
  • Group purchasing pricing through our client network
  • Vendor contract review for major commitments
  • Annual vendor relationship audit
06
Regulatory & Compliance Tracking

The changes that affect your specialty hit your strategy before they hit your bottom line.

CMS updates, payer policy changes, state-specific filing requirements — tracked by us, translated into financial impact, delivered before they reach your practice. Less reading the journal. Less surprise.

  • Specialty-specific regulatory tracking (CMS, state Medicaid, major commercial payers)
  • Quarterly regulatory impact briefings
  • State filing compliance (sales tax, registrations)
  • Multi-state nexus analysis when applicable
  • Audit response support
07
Strategic Advisory & M&A Prep

A CPA + MBA at the table when the decisions get made.

When you need to think through a consequential decision — opening a second location, evaluating a DSO offer, structuring succession, planning an exit — there's a partner at the table. The conversation that doesn't happen well alone happens with us in the room.

  • Practice valuation tracked annually (not just at sale)
  • Multi-location expansion modeling
  • DSO / consolidator offer evaluation
  • Exit readiness assessment and roadmap
  • Succession structure design
  • Sale-side or buy-side M&A advisory support
  • Quarterly strategic planning sessions
08
Direct CPA Access

Ronak Bhatt, CPA, MBA. Your principal partner. Always.

Not a junior associate. Not a gatekept email queue. Direct phone, email, text, and calendar access. The CPA + MBA you signed with is the CPA + MBA on every consequential conversation.

  • Principal-led engagement on every account
  • 24-hour response on phone, email, and text
  • Direct calendar booking (no gatekeeping)
  • Quarterly strategy sessions (1+ hour, deep work)
  • Ad hoc consultation included (no hourly meter)
The Math

What this platform would cost if you built it yourself.

The operating leverage isn't free. It's just dramatically more efficient when you aggregate it across a specialty-deep client base.

Function
Typical Cost If You Built It Yourself
Generalist CPA (annual taxes + monthly books)
$24K–$60K/year
Fractional CFO consultant
$48K–$144K/year
Healthcare-specialized tax strategist
$25K–$75K/year
Practice management consultant
$15K–$50K/year
Specialty vendor network access
Priceless
Regulatory tracking subscriptions
$5K–$15K/year
Strategic advisory retainer
$30K–$100K/year
Combined equivalent
$147K–$444K+/year
Practice Partner CPAs partnership tiers start at $795/month ($9,540/year). The leverage is real because we aggregate across a healthcare-only client base.

Eight functions. One partnership. Independent ownership preserved.
