It will conform to both the intent of the parties, setting out their respective rights and responsibilities, and the requirements of state and federal law.

Most businesses spend countless hours managing internal finance and accounting functions that can often detract from what they do best. Ongoing pressures to optimize business performance have prompted many executives to look for new approaches. To help businesses re-engage with their core functions and liberate time for other important activities (and what they want to be doing), many of the accounting and finance processes and functions that must be done to maintain compliance can be outsourced. These services include helping businesses to understand more about their costs, revenue, and opportunities. With Pursue’s finance, governance, and industry experience, we can help you gain better visibility into your accounting, payroll, and compliance requirements.

All operational accounting processes and functions—including patient and resident billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll—are monitored by Pursue Health, and detailed reports are produced and delivered on a timely basis to the management team of its client organizations.
