About Axiom


Axiom was created in 2007 by a group of experienced healthcare cost report specialists who placed great value in listening to and working in partnership with clients.

You face daily challenges & uphill battles. We face them by your side. Together we succeed.

We go beyond simply preparing and filing cost reports. Our team of seasoned professionals consults on strategy, weighs in on issues, helps solve problems, and identifies areas of opportunity for our clients while always pursuing best practices and staying abreast of the latest regulatory changes.

Over the years, post-acute care has become an increasingly challenging enterprise. With more payers and regulations than ever before, it makes solid business sense to work with an experienced team able to deftly navigate the industry’s ever-changing policies and meticulous requirements. In addition to cost report preparation and filing, we also have a robust bookkeeping and accounting department that handles preparation and review of financial statements as well as consulting on all manner of healthcare business matters.

Though we are proud to specialize in the dynamic and complex post-acute care industry of California, we also serve clients in Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Arizona, among others. If you’re looking for a leader to help take your facility to an even higher level of care, look no further than Axiom.
