Cynergy Consulting Services, Inc.
Serving Cook County, IL
Trust in our brokerage expertise to navigate the complexities of selling a medical practice. We have successfully brokered the sale and transition of over 2000 medical practices, making us the go-to choice for providers seeking top-notch service. Did you know there are strategic steps you can take to significantly increase the value of your practice before listing it for sale? Most providers are unaware of these opportunities. At Cynergy Consulting, we know the secrets to enhancing your practice’s worth, ensuring you get the most from your sale. Our comprehensive Intermediary Services (practice brokerage and sale), as part of a physician’s exit strategy, allow doctors in solo or group practice to convert the hard-won equity in their practices into liquidity, which can then be diversified for purposes of retirement or investment. Most physicians choose to stay with their practice under a negotiated employment contract for a number of years after sale. All physicians over age fifty-five (55) should have an exit strategy to ensure that they can capture the full value of their medical practice before they begin to “wind down”. Our staff has facilitated the sale of hundreds of medical practices over the last forty years in all fifty (50) states.

Brian Smith
IA Business Advisors
Serving Kane County, IL
Our founder began his career as an accountant but did not enjoy public accounting. After a short term at a big 6 accounting firm, he started Business Accounting Solutions in 1988, which he later sold to Cornerstone Consulting Group. Recognizing the need many small businesses had for sound management advice, Brian went on to start Individual Advantages, LLC, which was later rebranded to IA Business Advisors in 2015, as a think tank to develop customized, yet affordable, business solutions driven by our focus on people, process, and technology. Our client base has always varied, ranging from large fortune 500, to small and medium sized community based businesses. When the Great Recession hit in 2008, we began to work with businesses in trouble due to the economic decline who struggled to afford consulting services and an ability to be represented through the business sale, succession or merger & acquisition process. Recognizing this, Brian began offering on-demand consulting services, through which businesses hindered by a strained economic environment and a restricted budget could consult with our company on an hourly basis for a lower more economical fee. This service became so popular that we have continued it to this day. During the business sales, succession, mergers and acquisitions process, companies often forget about their foundation: people and process. These are the two things that need the most attention during this huge transition, and the IA Business Advisors team are proficient in focusing on your foundation to better represent you and your organization to keep you organized through whichever transition process you may be going through. Our unique BizVision process pinpoints the metrics, processes, and people that will be the driving force behind the success of your business sale, succession, merger or acquisition. IA Business Advisors business business brokerage, success, merger and acquisition services was born out of our founder’s experience on a mergers and acquisitions team for a large NASDAQ traded company in the 1990s. After helping several acquisitions of small businesses around the world, our founder learned the importance of balance in the marketing, negotiation and due diligence process – balancing the focus on metrics, as well as policy, procedure, people, process, and technology. We have been involved in hundreds of business sales, successions, merger and acquisition projects since our conception in 1996.
