Our clients’ average savings of 45% of their telecom costs...PLUS REFUNDS!
Frequently Asked Questions
The Auditing Process
What is the average savings a client can expect?
Our clients typically see ongoing savings in the range of 20% – 60% of their monthly telecommunications expenses, in addition to one-time refunds for historical billing errors.
How much of my time will this project require?
We handle the heavy lifting. Your involvement is kept to a bare minimum—usually just 15 to 30 minutes to provide us with 2–3 months of bill copies and a signed Letter of Agency (LOA). We perform our analysis off-site and return with a formal report for your review.
What if I already have an internal team working on these savings?
Transparency is key. We ask you to identify any areas currently under investigation in writing. We exclude those from our scope so there is never a conflict regarding efforts or shared savings.
Is it worth engaging your firm if we are currently under contract?
Absolutely. Contractual lock-in doesn't prevent billing errors or "cramming." We reconcile your bills against your existing contracts to ensure compliance and often find internal configuration changes that save money without affecting your carrier commitment.
Fees & Independence
Are there really no upfront fees?
Correct. Under our Contingency Fee Program, you only pay if—and when—we produce results. We share in the actual, measured savings once our recommendations are implemented. If we don’t find savings, you don't owe us a dime.
What does it mean to be a "Vendor-Independent" consultant?
It means we work for you, not the phone companies. We do not sell hardware, we do not accept commissions from carriers, and we do not accept vendor gifts. Our recommendations are driven strictly by what is best for your bottom line.
Grant Writing & Security Infrastructure
Do you assist with funding for security upgrades?
Yes. We specialize in securing high-value grants (such as the NSGP) for nonprofits and schools. We help our clients find the funding necessary for facility hardening, surveillance cameras, and access control systems.
How does your auditing background help with Grant Writing?
Because we have spent over 30 years auditing technical bills, we know exactly what equipment should cost. We help you draft technical narratives and line-item budgets that are realistic and high-impact, which significantly increases the likelihood of grant approval.
Can you help us implement the equipment once the grant is awarded?
Yes. We provide full Project Management services. We act as your advocate during the RFP process, vendor selection, and implementation to ensure your security project is completed on-time and on-budget.
