Impact Advisors
Ask Andy Smith, President of Impact Advisors what excites
him most about the future and he’ll say, as humbly as pos-
sible, “the opportunity to fundamentally transform health-
care. It feels like we are on a tipping point where many
organizations have implemented their core enterprise tech-
nology solutions; the next phase will be to harvest the in-
formation out of these systems to radically optimize the
delivery of care.” And Smith says Impact Advisors is ready,
willing and able to assist clients on that journey.
Impact Advisors is a perennial
mainstay on our Best Small Firms
to Work For ranking. This year, the
Naperville, Ill.-based firm continues
that trend. “Each and every day, we
are committed to living our mission
to create a positive Impact with our
clients, as well as with our fellow
associates at Impact Advisors,” Smith
says. “Being recognized confirms we
are demonstrating our mission in a
meaningful way to those we serve.
Our employees take exceptional pride
in working for one of the Best Small
Firms to Work For, particularly in
knowing that their collective feed-
back is what made this possible.”
Smith says morale continues to
be exceptionally high because the
firm’s associates consistently exhibit
strong and sincere determination in
their daily work, which ultimately
translates into meeting or exceeding
clients’ objectives. “As we celebrate
achieving our client’s goals, we
experience personal satisfaction,”
Smith says. “Our clients join us
in celebrating this recognition as
well, knowing the Impact Advisors
resources serving them are highly
engaged and motivated to strongly
contribute to their project success.”
Smith says Impact’s leadership gen-
uinely cares about each of its associ-
ates and are transparent in every aspect
of the business. “This combination
of client satisfaction, caring and firm
transparency epitomizes our culture
and defines our morale,” he says.
It stands to reason that Leadership
was one area where Impact excelled
on the survey. “We frequently hear
directly from our associates how much
they appreciate our forward focus of
looking far into the future and thought-
fully evaluating our success strategy
as any significant market or industry
changes occur,” Smith says. “Our as-
sociates know that their well-being is
the No. 1 priority at Impact Advisors.”
It’s one of the main differen-
tiators at the firm, Smith says.
Impact Advisors calls its associates
“Winners” and they know and live
by the distinctive values that are
essential to the firm, Smith says.
Associates average more than 20
years of experience in the healthcare
information technology sector, and
their expertise is leveraged daily to
help solve clients’ most strategic and
complex problems. “We develop
solutions that allow our clients to
achieve—and often exceed—their
goals,” Smith says. “The shared
practice of these values equate to a
uniquely special workplace, as well
as an ideal client experience.”
WHAT’S YOUR TOP
PRIORITY OVER THE
NEXT 12 MONTHS?
SMITH: “Our priorities for the
next 12 months will be to con-
tinue to develop and grow our
services. Specifically we are
actively investing in and en-
hancing our methodologies in
Clinical and Revenue Cycle Op-
timization. We continue to add
talented leadership in these ar-
eas as our clients are asking us
for additional services.”
