Charges that do not add up
Duplicate bills, missing credits, inconsistent rates and increases that need an explanation.
Free Cost Leak Screen
We look for charges worth questioning, costs worth reducing and money worth recovering. Your first written screen is free.
Review my bill for freeOne vendor. No upfront fee. No meeting required.
We examine the charges and terms behind a recurring expense. An unusual line item is a question to investigate, not proof that you have overpaid.
Duplicate bills, missing credits, inconsistent rates and increases that need an explanation.
Unused subscriptions, inactive lines, overlapping services and plans that no longer fit actual use.
Pricing drift, renewal windows, location differences and vendor agreements that have accumulated over time.
Your free first review
Send one recurring vendor bill, statement or contract, with a sentence about anything that concerns you. You do not need to have spotted a mistake.
You receive a concise written screen: what looks unusual, what we would investigate, whether deeper work is justified and what happens next.
Free work ends at that initial screen. If there is a credible opportunity, we agree the scope and sign the performance-fee agreement before requesting a larger set of records or doing substantial analysis.
How it works
We give you a free written view on whether it is worth pursuing.
We agree the scope, baseline and 25% fee. Then we collect only the additional records needed.
You approve the recommendation. We assist with implementation and get paid after the financial result is verified.
No upfront fee for the screen or standard performance engagement. We agree the baseline, costs and fee calculation in writing before deeper work.
Pay when a refund is received or a vendor credit is actually applied, after deducting agreed direct external recovery costs. An unresolved claim or unused credit is not a billable recovery.
Pay on savings actually realized during the first 12 months after an approved change. We deduct agreed implementation costs and bill monthly after verification.
We adjust for usage and service changes and never charge twice for the same benefit. Estimates help you decide; they do not create a fee.
Common expense categories
Who we work best with
Especially teams managing recurring vendors with QuickBooks, spreadsheets and purchasing spread across field locations. We start with overhead vendor costs, not an assumption about change-order problems.
Recurring services across properties, overlapping agreements and differences in rates or service levels.
Waste, linen, telecom, software and other services with charges that vary across locations.
Other growing businesses can fit too. The useful signal is fragmented recurring spend, not a particular company size.
The screen is free. You do not owe us an engagement, a meeting or a fee.
Send a document, receive a written screen and decide by email. Agreements, findings and approvals can all be handled asynchronously. Calls are available if you want one.
One bill, statement or contract from one recurring vendor. We identify what appears worth checking, what remains uncertain and the next step. It is not a full cost audit or a verified savings calculation.
You can start with a short description and send the document by email afterward. We need a readable cost item for a useful screen. Redact bank details, card numbers and unrelated personal information.
We tell you. There is no fee for the screen and no obligation to continue. Nothing material identified means nothing material in the limited records reviewed.
Deeper work starts after we sign a performance-fee agreement. We charge 25% of recovered cash or credits actually received or applied, after agreed direct external recovery costs, and 25% of verified net savings realized during the first 12 months of an approved change. Recurring fees are billed monthly after verification, not on a full-year forecast.
No. A charge that looks unusual may be correct. We verify the evidence before recommending action, and you approve any material vendor contact or change.
No. We can work alongside them on a specific recurring vendor cost. Prudence provides business cost review and recovery support, not legal advice, tax advice or an assurance audit.
No meeting is required. We can handle the screen, agreement, findings and approvals by email. We start with selected documents. A call is optional.
Only within an action you approve in writing. Prudence cannot sign, settle, cancel or otherwise bind your business. Your authorized representative controls those decisions.
A free first screen. A clear next step.
