RESULTS

RESULTS

  • A large medical practice needed to re-evaluate compensation, equity structure and benefit plans to ensure fairness to all of its partners. Jonathan proposed the formation of a compensation committee tasked with analyzing the current situation, evaluating options and making recommendations to the entire practice. Recognizing that the process was as important as the end-result, Jonathan spearheaded the committee, building consensus and trust along the way. The partnership unanimously accepted all committee recommendations. With Jonathan’s leadership, the practice turned a potentially divisive situation into a unifying and trust-building experience.
  • When a large medical practice outgrew its office space, the doctors needed to decide whether to lease or buy new space and whether it made sense to sell the current building. Jonathan analyzed the various options and associated costs. He then helped negotiate extremely favorable financing terms, avoiding the need for the doctors to invest their own money. The move resulted in improved cash-flow and increased revenue for the practice.
  • Upon being engaged by an "S" Corporation in the IT placement industry, Jonathan’s team discovered that the company’s financial statements were poorly constructed and unable to provide valuable data to the owners. The company’s financial statements were redesigned, including the identification of gross profit per placement project. This allowed the client to focus on more profitable areas of the business. Quarterly reviews were instituted to evaluate the value-added financial statements and to collaborate on business decisions.
  • Jonathan suggested that his client, a business owner, revisit his various insurance policies, which were put in place many years ago, including disability, life and business overhead insurance. Jonathan determined that given his personal net worth, his client was over insured. His client cancelled several polices, saving over $40,000 in annual premiums. In addition, the client received a large sum in the cash surrender value of one of the life insurance proceeds and was able to invest that cash in much stronger investment options.
