The Nikao Boutique Advantage: Small Teams, Big Impact
Why a boutique firm is better for
cost work than a "Big 4" firm:

We build bespoke savings strategies based on your specific clinical culture and community needs.
02
Senior-Led Execution
We work directly with your C-Suite and department heads to ensure buy-in and cultural alignment.

Rapid ROI
By focusing on high-impact "low-hanging fruit" first, we often find enough savings in the first 90 days to fund the remainder of the transformation.
