Frequently Asked Questions

We work on a pure pay-for-performance model. There is no upfront cost, no retainer, and no fee unless we successfully identify and implement your savings. Our compensation is a percentage of the savings or credits we recover for you, so we are entirely motivated to maximize your results as quickly as possible.

That's great, and very common. Good costs in one area don't mean you're optimized across the board. Our 6-step methodology and industry knowledge allows us to look at more than 40 expense categories, vendors and plans, and we consistently find significant savings even for businesses that have gone through a cost savings exercise before. Markets and offers change frequently, opening new opportunities.

From the moment we get all the information it takes about 4–8 weeks to present our findings and recommendations. Our process is also designed to minimize time from your staff. Once we receive the requested information, the rest is up to us.

Minimal to none. We won't change your workflow, just present options to provide the same services at a lower cost.

Nope. We only need to see your invoices and contracts with current vendors. We also treat every document we receive with the utmost care and confidentiality.

None! If for any reason you do not like our recommendations, you are under no obligation to implement them. Since our compensation is solely based on actual, documented cost savings, you owe us nothing.

The introduction of a third party into the expense analysis induces vendors — current and new — to take the process seriously and offer better terms. Since 1993 we have developed the required industry knowledge on indirect expenses that most companies lack. In addition, being performance-based, our fee structure motivates us to save you the maximum amount of money.
