Cost Savings

Find real savings in your software, vendor, and marketing spend

A structured review of what you pay for software, vendors, and marketing, run by someone who managed procurement on nine-figure projects, that finds real savings and negotiates them down.

What we review

A clear-eyed look at where money leaves the business and how much of it can come back.

Software & subscriptions

An audit of every tool and subscription you pay for, flagging duplicates, unused seats, and overpriced plans.

Vendor contracts

A review of vendor and supplier contracts to find overcharges, poor terms, and room to renegotiate.

Marketing spend

A look at ad accounts and marketing spend to cut waste and lower your cost per lead or acquisition.

Savings analysis

Savings quantified properly, separating hard savings, soft savings, and cost avoidance so the numbers are honest.

Negotiation

Direct negotiation with vendors and providers to turn identified savings into signed, lower prices.

Reporting

A clear written report of what was found, what was saved, and what to watch going forward.

How an audit works

A focused review with a number at the end, not an open-ended engagement.

01

Discovery call

We agree the scope of the review: software, vendors, marketing, or all three, and what good looks like.

02

Gather & review

Invoices, contracts, and accounts are reviewed to map exactly what you pay and where the waste is.

03

Quantify savings

Savings are identified and quantified by type, so you can see the real, defensible number.

04

Negotiate & report

Savings are negotiated where possible, and you receive a written report of findings and results.

Procurement discipline, pointed at your costs

This is not guesswork. The same discipline used to run and evaluate tens of millions of dollars in RFPs on a nine-figure energy project is applied to your software, vendor, and marketing spend.

Savings are quantified properly. Hard savings, soft savings, and cost avoidance are separated, because a real number you can defend is worth far more than an inflated one that falls apart under scrutiny.

Where there is room to renegotiate, that conversation is handled directly with the vendor, turning a line in a report into an actual lower price on your next invoice.

A track record in cost and procurement

Selected work, described without client names.

On a nine-figure energy project: 20+ contracts drafted and closed, $20M+ in RFPs run and evaluated, $2M+ negotiated in vendor savings, and $50K in daily purchasing authority.

For clients: $1,200 in ad credit secured and paid acquisition costs reduced by more than 20% by fixing account targeting and cutting wasted spend.

In each case, savings were measured properly and separated by type, so the reported number was one that held up.

FAQ

Common questions

What does a cost savings audit cover?
Typically your software and subscriptions, vendor and supplier contracts, and marketing spend. The scope is agreed up front, and you can focus on one area or all three.
How do you calculate savings?
Savings are separated into hard savings, soft savings, and cost avoidance, the same way disciplined procurement teams do it, so the number is defensible rather than inflated.
Do you also negotiate with vendors?
Yes. Where there is room, negotiation is handled directly with the vendor or provider, turning an identified saving into an actual lower price.
What qualifies you to do this?
Managing procurement on a nine-figure energy project, including $20M+ in RFPs and $2M+ in negotiated vendor savings, plus cutting client acquisition costs by more than 20%.
How is the audit priced?
The cost is agreed in writing before the review begins, so you know it from the start.
