Effective and independent cost reduction solutions for all businesses
POWERED BY SCHOOLEY MITCHELL
Overview
We save our clients time and money by focusing our attention on a number of common expense categories in which our firm has intimate market expertise and negotiating clout. On average, we reduce essential business service expenses by 28% and have delivered over $360 million in documented savings to our clients to date. Virtually every business, in every sector, can benefit from our expense reduction expertise.
Our work is based on a mutually beneficial model. We have no ties to vendors or service providers, and our fees are self-funded by a portion of the savings we find. If we do not find savings, we consider that a free audit.
Our expense reduction practice is powered by Schooley Mitchell, the largest independent cost reduction consulting firm in North America.
We have reduced costs by an average of 28%
for more than 25,000 clients over the past 22 years.
Expense Reduction Categories
Saving Money
RECOUPING PAST BILLING ERRORS
Our analysis begins with a look to the past. We match vendor bills to contracts to ensure you are being billed correctly. If there are errors and you have been overbilled, we recoup that cash for you.
RUNNING QUARTERLY ANALYSES
Our engagements are not just a moment in time. Over a three year period, we run our expense reduction analysis at the beginning of every quarter, to make sure you are consistently capturing savings.
LOCKING IN ALL PROMOTIONS
Vendors regularly change pricing, promotions, and bundles. Our team of market researchers focuses on aggregating those changes to ensure we capture all benefits for your company.
