The free spend audit

Every cost engagement starts with a free spend audit

Indirect spend is the layer of phone bills, freight invoices, energy contracts, and processing fees behind your operation, and it quietly leaks profit in most small to midsize companies. Nobody owns it, so nobody audits it. We do.

What the audit delivers

  • A category-by-category benchmark of your spend against live market alternatives
  • Quantified savings, typically five to six figures annually, with the math shown
  • A prioritized, phased roadmap for capturing those savings
  • A straightforward readout call with no jargon and no upsell theater

Spend categories

Seven categories. One clear picture.

Most small to midsize companies are overpaying in three or four of these right now.

10–30%

Telecom & Connectivity

Phones, contact center, internet, SD-WAN, and mobile: almost always overpriced and rarely audited.

up to 25%

Cloud, IT & Security

Cloud, managed IT, cybersecurity, IoT, and physical security: consolidated and right-sized, never at the cost of protection.

10–20%

Purchasing & MRO

Supplies, packaging, safety gear, and the everyday buys that add up fast, moved onto group contract pricing.

5–15%

Freight & Parcel

Invoices audited, rates benchmarked, overcharges recovered.

8–15%

Energy & Natural Gas

Smarter contracts and better timing in deregulated markets.

10–30%

Waste & Recycling

Right-sized service, corrected billing, market-rate hauling.

0.3–1.0 pts

Payment Processing

Lower effective rates on every card transaction you accept.

Not sure where you’re overpaying?

That’s exactly what the audit answers.
