What JFS LLC does

JFS LLC is a privately held financial consulting firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Grand Junction, Colorado, operating as a fully remote company with a staff of 11–50. The firm delivers accounting, tax, and financial consulting services with a primary focus on rural healthcare providers (critical access hospitals, FQHCs, rural health centers, physician offices, ambulatory surgery centers, and for-profit clinics under 500 employees) and second-stage service-based businesses earning over $1M in revenue. Core offerings include accounting system setup and bookkeeping, CFO advisory, tax preparation and planning, revenue cycle management (including billing, coding optimization, payer contract analysis, and denial management), payroll support, Medicare cost report assistance, grant and gap funding consultation, and financial turnaround services. Additional verticals include construction, nonprofits, real estate investors and developers, and service-based businesses.

The company operates on a professional services revenue model with sales-led and inside-sales go-to-market motions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year advisory engagements alongside project-based work. Customer acquisition is driven by free consultations, segmented inquiry forms, content marketing through the Learning Center (Revenue Cycle Brief series, tax guides), webinars, and an education partnership with Xtreme Movement LLC. The firm maintains a coaching-driven, education-first approach using plain-English financial guidance, supported by a secure client portal. Technology infrastructure consists of off-the-shelf SaaS tools (ActiveCampaign for email, Google Analytics for web analytics, Stripe for payment processing), with GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS compliance certifications.

Leadership includes CEO Kelly Johnston (healthcare/critical access hospital expertise; EOS Visionary), COO Katerina Dimitratos (19+ years across PwC, S&P Global, Bloomberg LP; EOS Integrator), and senior specialists in revenue cycle management (Alice Bynum, 25+ years RCM) and healthcare finance (Austin Thomas). The firm received the 2024 Colorado Companies to Watch Award and is preparing a Rural Health Training Program launch in 2025.
