Meet the Principal

The partner most practice owners never got to hire.

I'm Ronak Bhatt, CPA, MBA — principal of Practice Partner CPAs. I built this firm to give independent healthcare practice owners the same financial infrastructure a private-equity MSO would install — without taking equity, control, or upside.

A Letter From Ronak

Why I built this the way I did.

I spent years inside both worlds — the public-accounting model that treats every practice the same, and the private-equity rollup model that quietly converts practice owners into employees. Neither one was built for the doctor, dentist, therapist, or vet who wants to keep the practice and still get the operating leverage of a much larger group.

So I built the third option. Practice Partner CPAs is the financial infrastructure of an MSO — specialty close, KPI dashboards, year-round tax strategy, principal-led advisory — delivered as a flat-fee partnership. We don't take equity. We don't consolidate. We don't become your boss. We become your CFO, your tax strategist, and your sounding board for every consequential decision.

Every engagement runs through me. You sign with me, you work with me. Not a junior. Not a queue.

  • Healthcare-only — six specialties, deep playbooks, no generalist tradeoffs
  • Principal-led — the CPA you signed with is the CPA in the room
  • Outcomes over hours — flat-fee, transparent, designed to save 3–5× the fee in tax alone
  • Equity-neutral — the practice stays 100% yours, always
