HTN CONSULTING

What HTN CONSULTING does

H&N Consulting is a privately held, founder-owned boutique healthcare consulting firm headquartered in Naples, Florida, established in 2006 by Jennifer Hymes. The firm represents medical practices and healthcare facilities seeking to sell, recapitalize, or optimize their operations, while simultaneously working with private equity firms, venture capital investors, and strategic buyers pursuing healthcare acquisitions. Its core offerings span practice and hospital consulting, equity recapitalization (enabling practice owners to access up to 80% of practice cash value through 70-90% majority stakes), strategic buyouts and 100% divestitures, and broader M&A advisory. Supporting services include financial analytics, interim executive management, revenue cycle management, strategic planning, contract negotiations, human capital management, service line development, practice integration, and sales and marketing advisory.

The firm operates without proprietary software, APIs, or technology platforms, relying instead on founder-led advisory expertise and a curated network of capital partners and independent brokers. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on quote-based, multi-year engagements plus episodic transaction success fees tied to closed recapitalizations and buyouts. GTM motion is sales-led and enterprise field sales, with Jennifer Hymes personally conducting consultation calls and advisory conversations; the firm offers a free 20-minute consultation as a qualifying entry point and uses educational content (a free valuation guide, KPI framework, and 100+ term glossary) as top-of-funnel lead generation. Customer segments are concentrated in US medical-practice owners and healthcare-focused financial investors across specialties including anesthesia, dermatology, orthopedics, primary care, and surgical centers.
