From Mike's Linkedin::: 

A CPA and CVA (Certified Valuation Analyst) who specializes in the area of dental and other healthcare entities.

I work primarily with privately owned practices and individuals and strive to become their most trusted financial advisor. We take a long-term approach to dealing with clients by billing them a flat monthly rate and often investing time over and above our agreements when clients need big things accomplished. We have the flexibility that many of our larger competitors don't have.
