Michael personally worked and assisted providers as they established practices and embarked on a new aspect of their career. He was dealing with everything from locating office space to creating the provider’s initial business systems.

His future endeavors allowed him to utilize his education and experience in the field of accounting when he served as a financial and accounting consultant to numerous medium-sized businesses and medical practices.
