Mike Ferkovic is Chief Operating Officer and Partner at Inglewood, where he leads the firm's Physician CFO Solutions practice. A CPA with more than 15 years in public accounting, Mike pairs technical rigor with the instincts of an operator who has actually sat in the CFO chair — including as CFO of a private equity-sponsored healthcare management services organization, where the numbers had to hold up to sponsors, lenders, and clinicians at the same time.
That combination is rare, and it defines how Mike works. He gives physician practices and healthcare organizations the financial leadership of a full-time CFO without the full-time cost, delivering outsourced and fractional CFO services that turn messy books and reactive reporting into clear, decision-ready financial infrastructure. When a practice is scaling, consolidating, or preparing for a transaction, Mike is the person who makes the finances tell the truth — cleanly, quickly, and in language owners and investors trust.
His work spans M&A due diligence, strategic planning, and accounting process optimization. On the deal side, he pressure-tests quality of earnings and diligence so buyers and sellers move with conviction. On the operating side, he rebuilds the accounting engine so month-end is a tool for decisions, not a fire drill. The through-line is discipline: better data, tighter process, and a finance function that finally keeps pace with the medicine.
A University of Notre Dame graduate, Mike reflects Inglewood's founding conviction that its people are business operators first, not lifetime consultants. For physician groups and healthcare companies across Cleveland and the Great Lakes that need serious CFO-level guidance without adding a permanent executive line, he is exactly the kind of advisor who earns a seat at the table and keeps it.

Core Disciplines
Where Mike goes deep
Physician CFO Solutions
Inglewood's Physician CFO Solutions practice, led by Mike Ferkovic, gives physician practices and healthcare organizations senior financial leadership without the cost of a permanent hire. It combines outsourced and fractional CFO services, forecasting, and financial reporting purpose-built for clinical businesses, where reimbursement, provider compensation, and payer dynamics complicate the numbers. Mike brings CPA discipline and real operating experience as a former healthcare CFO, translating complex practice economics into clear, decision-ready insight that owners, sponsors, and lenders can act on with confidence.
Outsourced & Fractional CFO Services
Fractional CFO work delivers full CFO-caliber financial leadership on a part-time, embedded basis. At Inglewood, Mike Ferkovic serves as the strategic financial partner to physician practices and healthcare organizations that need cash-flow visibility, forecasting, budgeting, and board-ready reporting but not a full-time executive. Drawing on 15-plus years in public accounting and prior service as a private equity-backed healthcare CFO, he installs the reporting rhythm, controls, and financial narrative a growing organization needs to make confident decisions and stand up to investor and lender scrutiny.
Healthcare M&A Due Diligence
M&A due diligence in healthcare demands more than reading financial statements; it requires understanding how a clinical business actually earns and spends. Mike Ferkovic leads diligence engagements at Inglewood that pressure-test earnings quality, normalize provider and practice economics, and surface the risks that move valuation. Having operated inside a private equity-sponsored healthcare organization, he evaluates targets the way sponsors and lenders do, giving buyers and sellers the clean, defensible financial picture they need to negotiate and close with conviction.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning connects financial reality to where a business intends to go. Mike Ferkovic works with physician practices and healthcare organizations to translate goals into models, budgets, and capital priorities that hold up under scrutiny. As a CPA and former healthcare CFO, he frames growth, consolidation, and transition decisions around cash, margin, and risk rather than optimism, so leadership teams can commit resources with clarity. At Inglewood, planning is treated as an operating tool, tied directly to the numbers and the results they are meant to produce.
Accounting Process Optimization
Accounting process optimization rebuilds the finance function so it produces trustworthy numbers fast. Mike Ferkovic brings CPA rigor and 15-plus years in public accounting to streamlining the close, tightening controls, and modernizing reporting for physician practices and healthcare organizations. The goal at Inglewood is to make month-end a source of decisions rather than a recurring fire drill, giving owners and investors financial data they can rely on and freeing clinical leaders to run the practice instead of chasing the books.
