About

About Dr. Mitch Levin

MD, CWPP, CAPP — Financial Physician™

Dr. Mitch Levin — known as the "Financial Physician™" — is a four-time national best-selling author, international speaker, and trusted business advisor to entrepreneurs, executives, and high-income professionals. He founded Corporate Finance Solutions in 1988 to advise privately held companies on complex transaction structuring and ownership transitions.

His career began in the health-care field in 1986, financing, opening, owning, and operating a large series of eye surgery practices and surgery centers in Central Florida. Over the following 15 years his holdings included "Horizon" (42 independent and free-standing MRIs across seven states) and "St. Vincent's Rehab Clinics" in Illinois and Florida — sold twice, first to a publicly-traded company and then to a private enterprise — along with several commercial office buildings, the largest at some 90,000 square feet.

In 2010 he built what is now Summit Wealth Partners (offices in Jacksonville, Michigan, Naples, and Orlando) together with Summit Asset Protection Group and Investors Advocates, which he sold in 2017. He has been board chair of an Opera company and a large Foundation, and president of a Home Owners Association consecutively from 2003–2020. He was a visiting professor at the University of Central Florida and is the publisher of three private newsletters to over 5,000 subscribers for more than 13 years.

His work focuses on helping owners:

  • Extract liquidity without giving up control
  • Transition businesses across generations
  • Reduce estate and transaction taxes
  • Structure insider ownership transitions

Corporate Finance Solutions accepts only 3–4 engagements per year from companies typically employing 60–600 employees.
