Meet Melissa Frierson, MBA 

Your Dedicated Pharmacy Financial Strategist
Your Dedicated Pharmacy Financial Partner
With over 20 years of comprehensive healthcare financial experience and more than 13 years specialized in pharmacy accounting, I bring unmatched expertise to independent pharmacy owners navigating today's complex financial landscape. My mission is simple: to help you optimize operations, maximize profitability, and build sustainable success for both the present and future.
​
As a Rx Strategic CFO Advisor with an MBA focused on healthcare administration, I intimately understand the unique challenges pharmacy owners face daily. My approach transcends traditional accounting services by combining technical precision with strategic business insight, delivering customized solutions that address both immediate concerns and long-term growth objectives.
​
Specialized Pharmacy Financial Services
Unlike general accountants, my practice focuses exclusively on the intricate financial ecosystem of independent pharmacies. I provide a comprehensive suite of pharmacy-specific services designed to transform your financial operations:
​
Pharmacy-Specific Accounting & Reporting
I deliver timely, pharmacy-formatted financial statements that break down revenue by critical categories, including PSAO, specific PBMs (Medicare, Medicaid, Caremark, Humana, and much more), DIR fees, and cash transactions. These specialized reports provide immediate clarity on your pharmacy's performance and profitability drivers.
​
Third-Party Reimbursement Management
My expertise ensures your third-party adjudication information remains current and accurate, minimizing reimbursement errors that directly impact your bottom line. I help you navigate the complex insurance reimbursement processes unique to pharmacy operations.
​
Strategic Tax Planning
With specialized knowledge of healthcare and pharmaceutical tax laws, I identify industry-specific deductions and credits that maximize tax benefits while maintaining full compliance. My strategies are tailored to the unique regulatory environment pharmacies operate within.
​
Inventory Management Solutions
I implement systems that address the unique inventory valuation challenges pharmacies face, including price fluctuations and partial inventory management. My approach ensures accurate inventory accounting that reflects your pharmacy's true financial position.
​
Financial Analysis & Decision Support
Beyond standard reporting, I provide data-driven insights that guide strategic business decisions. Whether you're considering expansion, diversification, or performance improvement, my analysis helps you evaluate options with confidence.
​
Cash Flow Optimization
I help you select and implement the right accounting methodology for your business model, ensuring healthy cash flow even when making significant inventory investments for future sales.
​
Performance Dashboards
My custom pharmacy data dashboards consolidate critical financial, payroll, and operational script data, giving you instant visibility into performance metrics that matter most to pharmacy owners.
​
Business Valuation & Succession Planning
For pharmacy owners considering eventual transition, I provide accurate business valuation, optimization strategies, and succession planning services that maximize financial outcomes.
