Highly motivated candidates, guided by our close training and support, often achieve partner status within 2 years of hire. Individuals are then afforded the opportunity to continue building their dream practice while earning bonuses consisting of 40% of their gross revenue billing (in excess of base pay). Candidates will operate within a structured team environment until they are ready and capable of handling their own practice, most often within 2 years of hire. This provides a comfortable amount of training, support, and mentorship to set candidates up for success. Candidates with great attitudes and team player mentalities often earn opportunities to participate in team bonus pools before reaching the 40% partner stage.
