Over the past six weeks, our team at Head Office has been collecting food donations for Stratford House of Blessing Food Bank and The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, and we’re proud to share that we were able to donate 1,803 pounds of food! A HUGE thank you to our staff for their generous donations. This is going to help so many people in need this holiday season.
Schooley Mitchell’s Keith Crockett connected with Jim Gilbert, CPA to discuss the basics of Schooley Mitchell. Jim offers a wide range of business, accounting, and technology services to his valued clients, with more than twenty years comprehensive business experience.
This episode of “Chamber Spotlight” features Joe Gifford from Schooley Mitchell, a cost reduction consulting firm. In the interview, Joe explains how Schooley Mitchell helps businesses save money in various expense categories such as shipping, waste disposal, payment processing, fuel, and telecom. The company offers its services at no upfront cost and only recoups a portion of the savings generated for clients. Joe emphasizes the value of their vendor-agnostic approach and their ability to find savings opportunities that clients might have missed. He also discusses the challenges of convincing businesses to engage with expense management services, particularly when they believe they’ve already reduced costs themselves.
Schooley Mitchell teams in both Stratford and Kitchener participated in our yearly walk for the Heart & Stroke Ride for Heart event. Together, we raised $2,678 for critical heart disease and stroke research.
We wanted to share a couple team photos from the day. Thank you to all who donated and walked.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to recommend Amanda Chevrier and Schooley Mitchell for their cost reduction consulting services. I am the Executive Director of Community Options, a non-profit organization that provides inclusive education, childcare, and additional childhood development supports to children and their families in the Edmonton area. We operate out of four locations, have 180 staff, and an operating budget of $7 million. I was introduced to Amanda through Business Network International (BNI), a referral networking group.
During our first conversation, Amanda described herself as a cost reduction consultant with Schooley Mitchell, a company that specializes in finding the best market pricing on overhead costs for businesses and non-profit organizations. With scarce staffing available to take on such an analysis, I was pleased that not only would Amanda be saving us money, but also time. Moreover, Amanda’s fee is a percentage of the savings, which meant there was no charge if no savings were found. As an experienced business executive and coach, I found the Schooley Mitchell model to be very practical.
Amanda and her team conducted a review of our telecom and merchant services. I was thrilled when Amanda presented the report showing that she was able to save us $27,000 in the first year and $15,000 each year after on our wireless phones, desk phones, and internet, simply by switching vendors. This resulted in savings of 21.24% on our wireless phones, 58.33% on our desk phones, and 18.95% on our internet. Coincidentally, the wireless vendor recommended by Amanda was a former employer. Out of curiosity, I contacted former colleagues to ask what pricing they could provide, and to my astonishment, they were only able to provide pricing half as good as what Amanda and Schooley Mitchell could provide. This proved to me that Schooley Mitchell has built very strong relationships and has remarkable buying power.
I highly recommend Amanda and Schooley Mitchell for their cost reduction consulting services. Their ability to save us time and money, and to provide exceptional service has proven to be of immense value to our organization.
Sincerely,
Wayne Fredin
Executive Director – Community Options
