What We Do & How It Works
1. We Meet
We have an initial meeting to discuss where our focus should be and address specific needs that may exist with each expense category.
2. We Gather
Clients only need to provide us with readily accessible information. Here we simply gather the bill history and corresponding contracts for review.
3. We Present
Once we have analyzed your bills and the vendor bidding process is complete, we will present the results and determine how best to proceed.
4. We Implement & Audit
We will work directly with vendors and key employees to implement the new pricing program, and will then audit on a monthly basis.
Like many companies today, you may be operating so lean that you may not have the resources or time to even consider taking on a project to review your expenses. It’s possible that you also feel that your company has already done a great job of managing expenses, and there really isn’t anything worthwhile to pursue. If that is the case, based upon our 98% success rate of saving our clients’ money, Expense Advisors will assume the risk by investigating your expense categories on a contingency basis.
Who We Work With
We work with small to medium sized businesses. If your annual revenue is higher than that of a small nation, we are probably not for you. We work best with smaller sized firms across a wide range of industries. From law firms to manufacturers and everything in between, our focus is on reducing expenses, while taking into account the important role vendor relationships play in smaller companies. We want to help you reduce expenses and ensure you have the right vendor relationships to support your business. If you work in a paperless office for example, you are probably less concerned about the responsiveness of your paper-shredding vendor than a law firm with tons of sensitive material to shred.
We have a first hand understanding of the time crunch that small to medium businesses face and a have developed a process of ensuring measurable expense reduction with minimal impact your time. Most small to medium sized companies do not have the bandwidth, purchasing power or time to negotiate real savings.
Expense Categories
We work with 20+ Expense categories to reduce your bills. We also regularly receive requests from clients as “one off” projects in new categories where we have been effective in reducing costs.
