We facilitate free savings assessments We are buy-side / we think like you 50+ cost areas – NOT compensation or raw material We share 40-50% of 24 months of proven savings You can’t lose – save or validate the status quo What is an Expense Savings Assessment (“ESA”)? A “Fresh Eyes” process designed to highlight potentially hidden savings in any organization. An expense savings “check-up” with no requirement to change any current supplier or process. No fixed cost, nominal time investment to identify market better practices & ideas to consider. A review of direct & indirect expenses other than salaries & wages or key manufacturing materials. Why have a ESA ? Every organization has savings – only unknowns where and how much ($$)? The revenue equivalent or impact in enterprise value is many multiples of the savings. Your organization can only win since there is no expense to identify the savings opportunities and the associated fees are shared savings on a cash basis (cash Accretive!) You may truly have done all you can do (to be efficient) just not all that can be done. Shows your investors, board, customers, bank and employees that you are committed to being the most efficient you can be and you are not afraid of an “outside-in” (fresh-eyes) assessment. When does an ESA make sense? Anytime. We do not take your time. We exist because you don’t have the time. After an M&A transaction……to identify and implement hidden synergies & best practice ideas. When you are profitable or unprofitable. Profitable companies generally will reap a higher net savings % from a ESA because profitability often tends to slow the urgency to implement new ideas. (“if it ain’t broke” syndrome) Who performs the ESA process? We provide a Project Manager who reports to your CFO (or equivalent finance exec). We collaborate with your incumbent providers & suppliers and other subject matter experts to identity hidden opportunities. Your TIME investment is as little or as much as you want it to be. We report to you. We bring you the ideas. You make the decisions. We help you implement only the tactics and strategies you choose to implement.
