Why Veralon?
Veralon is a healthcare management consulting firm that partners with our clients to provide guidance and assistance with strategic initiatives, mergers and transactions, valuations, physician integration and emerging payment models. We rely on data-driven analyses, financial acumen, and our collective experiences to prepare customized solutions for our clients’ needs.
We recognize that our people are our greatest assets. Our fundamental desire as an employer is to be the best place you’ve ever worked. We know this is a lofty goal and not easily achieved. So, how is Veralon different?
- Our people are incredibly talented and driven, but also believe that the professional environment in which we spend so much of our time should be both stimulating and fun.
- We don’t simply want to impact our clients and the healthcare industry, we make it happen.
- We are a growing healthcare management consulting firm and we offer every employee the opportunity to shape our future.
- Many companies talk about work-life balance, but we live it. While our work can be demanding, we ensure our employees have the capacity to pursue the things they love outside of the office.
Position Summary
This position supports our clients and our compensation valuation engagement team by providing data analysis, modeling, interpretation, and reporting.
