Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about how we help physician practices manage the financial side of clinical research.
- Do we need a research finance department?
- No. We can serve as your outsourced research finance resource. You get the expertise and bandwidth of a dedicated research finance team without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.

- Yes. We support practices from feasibility through ongoing financial operations. Whether you are evaluating your first study or scaling an existing program, we help build the financial infrastructure you need.

- Yes. Budget negotiation is one of our core services. We review study budgets, identify missing or underfunded line items, and negotiate with sponsors and CROs to improve site compensation.
- Do you work with our CTMS vendor?
- Yes. We can support implementation and study build activities across major CTMS platforms, helping configure visit schedules, budgets, and financial workflows that align with your billing processes.
- What size practices do you work with?
