“I had the incredible opportunity to work with Mary & the Saadat & Associates Team for over two years to help initiate and complete the sale of my medical practice. Mary's strategic hands-on approach to business and staff development helped my business grow and gain efficiency to maximize profitability. Mary is very organized and helped me greatly to stay on track to reach my goals. She kept me accountable which at times was difficult, however, her encouragement and expertise allowed me to achieve the necessary goals required to sell my business. As a business owner of over 30 years, Mary's knowledge and background were a key part of my ability to sell my practice. Mary's strategic hands-on approach to reorganization of infrastructure, staff training & development, leadership training and culture shift helped my business grow in revenue, decrease costs, and gain efficiencies. With Mary's expertise, encouragement, caring and strategic planning I sold my business and realize a dream come true! I am so grateful to have worked with such an incredible professional! I highly recommend Mary and Saadat & Associates as an honest, trustworthy partner."
