Operational Advisory Services

Expertise. Experience. Analysis. Implementation. Operational Excellence.

When physicians consider exploring the sale or merger of their practice, whether to a private equity group, a strategic buyer, or a health system, most are unaware of the myriad of steps required to prepare for a successful transaction. Of greatest importance, many physicians do not fully realize how stakeholder value can be both materially impacted and maximized through professional, thorough pre-transaction operational assessment and improvements.

Aspire works exclusively with physician practices of every size and in every specialty, bringing to bear a deeply experienced team of mergers and acquisitions, and practice management professionals who are laser focused on one overarching goal – to fully professionalize, prepare and position the practice to attract a premium investor and to garner the maximum value possible for the practice.

The principals of Aspire have decades of experience in private equity, investment banking and physician practice operations – in fact, our professionals have successfully consummated more than 800 practice sales and mergers, in virtually all medical specialties. We are proven practice operators and healthcare business owners, not just consultants. At Aspire, we bring together the right experts to vanquish complexity, facilitate change, and create a substantial, positive impact on practice value.

A key differentiator between Aspire and other advisory services firms, is that we simply do not have a “B-team.” At Aspire we deploy only senior level, deeply experienced, lean, high-performing teams, tailored specifically to each client’s unique circumstances. Our projects are not staffed with oversized teams of mid-level consultants that must learn your business at your expense. As business owners, we approach each engagement with an owner’s mindset, seeking to create, capture and maximize value at every opportunity.

Partnering with Aspire simplifies the business of medicine by allowing healthcare professionals to focus on optimizing patient outcomes in a reduced stress environment with a higher rate of compliance and risk mitigation. In all of the transactions we have managed, it has been unequivocally proven that professional, thorough pre-transaction preparation dramatically increases practice value and the correspondent financial rewards for physician owners.

Aspire serves the needs of two categories of clients:

Physician practices that have already achieved adequate scale to consider a transaction immediately or in the near term
Physician practices that are currently too small to attract a premium investor, but whose owners would like to scale their operation by having Aspire develop and implement a transformational plan, allowing them to complete a successful transaction in the foreseeable future

The Aspire Mission

At Aspire, our mission is very straightforward; to generate maximum stakeholder value for our clients.

We achieve our mission by transforming practices into thoroughly professionalized, rapidly growing, technologically astute, highly profitable organizations that can demonstrate exceptional levels of patient satisfaction and exemplary clinical outcomes.

While no two practices are exactly alike, our assessments and re-engineering efforts encompass all aspects of the practice, which may include patient service levels, appointing protocols, service line development, revenue cycle management, payor contracting, digital marketing, potential mergers, possible new locations, provider recruitment, physician compensation planning and financial and practice management reporting.

Assessment, Solutions, Implementation, Training, Results

These five words are the foundation of our value proposition. In fact, at Aspire we believe that one element without the others is of very limited value. That is why our team delivers a comprehensive turnkey approach - assessing each issue and challenge that stands between our client and a successful transaction, formulating the optimal solution, implementing and operationalizing our recommendations, training the staff to understand and embrace the changes and, most importantly, documenting and reporting on the results.

Our focus on implementation, staff development and quantification of results consistently delivers successful outcomes for our clients and differentiates Aspire from the vast majority of advisory services firms. To be clear, if our client is willing, we will not just make recommendations, we will be hands-on implementors and trainers; true agents of positive change that will improve operational performance and materially increase profitability.

All advisory services firms assess, many may tout their perceived solutions and a few may claim they provide staff training. Aspire commits to overcoming the entire challenge - solving operational problems and growth challenges in their entirety, while effectuating enhanced operating performance and higher profitability. In fact, the typical Aspire client realizes an 8% increase in core business revenue as the result of our efforts. We pride ourselves on being cost effective agents of transformational change and delivering tangible quantifiable results.
