Client Testimonials
The firm is a fantastic partner. They do a great job sourcing sharp, smart people. There are places I have worked that are like body shops and chew through people. People are just recruited and not vetted. I don't believe Huntzinger Management Group keeps a large bench, but they have a nice group of sharp people. When they do a great job, they generate trust, and then we can trust them to do the next thing. I trust them, and they have not disappointed me yet. They have earned our business.
VP/Other Executive – KLAS Testimonial, February 2024
Huntzinger Management Group had CIO expertise. They had clinical, nonclinical, revenue cycle, and IT expertise, so they were very well rounded. I was expecting only finance-type people, but the firm had clinical people and had high-level executives on call. The firm came to our engagement with a wealth of knowledge. The employees were not freshly out of college; they were seasoned strategists. Every resource had a significant background, so I felt like I was sitting in a room with executives who had 20 or more years of experience.
