History

A Message from Our Founder

At The Contract Advisory, LLC, we believe that doctors deserve to be valued and compensated fairly for their expertise and dedication. That's why we exist - to empower physicians to recognize their true worth and take control of their financial futures.

As the son of a physician, I saw firsthand the struggles doctors face when navigating complex compensation negotiations. Without proper training or support, they often leave thousands of dollars on the table annually, undervaluing their skills and expertise. Many will compromise their financial interests to avoid conflict. Seeing that my dad was going to simply take the first offer given to him, I saw an opportunity to take the expertise I had gained as an NFL agent to help him realize his true value. Upon completion of negotiating his contract following leaving The Cleveland Clinic, I realized this experience was not unique to him. I knew I could help thousands of physicians and felt like I finally found my way to help the people that help everyone else.

That's why we created The Contract Advisory. Our mission is to level the playing field and ensure that doctors receive the compensation they deserve. We do this by:

• Providing expert negotiation services, backed by market data and a deep understanding of the medical industry

• Acting as a trusted third-party advocate, protecting doctors' professional relationships while championing their financial interests

• Educating and empowering physicians to recognize their true value and assert their worth

Our Why

• We believe that doctors should be able to focus on healing, not haggling over contracts

• We believe that fair compensation is essential to the well-being of physicians and the sustainability of our healthcare system

• We believe that by working together, we can create a more equitable and prosperous future for doctors and their patients

We are Here to Help

If any of this sounds like you or someone you care about, we are here to assist in every way possible. Let's work together to revolutionize the way doctors approach their financial futures and unlock a brighter tomorrow for all.

Sincerely,
Jake K Smith
Founder, The Contract Advisory, LLC
