Anytime a consulting firm grows 138 percent in one year, people are going to notice. Anytime that firm doubles down on that growth by forecasting essentially the same for the following year—more than doubling headcount and more than doubling revenue—people are going to do more than notice. They're going to start paying attention.
And people are paying attention to Avelead, an Atlanta-based firm that helps implement Revenue Cycle and EMR systems for hospital acute and ambulatory health systems. John Goforth, Senior Director, has spent more than 15 years in hospitals and healthcare IT. "Doing integration and implementations was always our bread and butter," Goforth says. "Our focus has been using our technology and our tools to bring healthcare into the modern world."
Avelead was launched in 2015 with humble beginnings before it caught fire in 2017. "Our first few clients were based off of relationships that we already had and then the real growth kicked in with referrals and word of mouth," he says. "Hospital CFOs talk to each quite a bit and the more work we did the more opportunities we received."
