          "When Diane came back to me and presented the report, it made me happy to find out that our expenses are in great shape: Knowing we haven't been overpaying in the past brings a profound sense of relief. The best part? Since Schooley Mitchell's only fees are a portion of savings found, their analysis came at no expense."

          "After completing the initial analysis and vendor negotiations, Morris scheduled a detailed review to walk us through the cost-saving opportunities Schooley Mitchell had identified. The report was thorough, well-structured, and provided multiple options to choose from. Ultimately, we moved forward with an option that identified 39% of savings in our EPP expenses. What stood out most is that Schooley Mitchell handles all the heavy lifting, making the process seamless and hassle-free. Their service has been nothing short of exceptional, allowing us to focus on our core business while they monitor invoices and continue identifying additional savings."

              "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can"

              IS YOUR NON-PROFIT BEING OVERCHARGED FOR VITAL BUSINESS SERVICES?

              Your team has more important things to do than conducting thorough audits of your expenses. Thankfully, that’s what Schooley Mitchell does, all day, every day. We optimize your expenses to help you create more money for programs and services, and so you can focus on doing what you do best – making a difference.

              At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent. Our consultants don’t accept kickbacks or incentives from service providers, and our process is completely risk-free. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to generate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact. If we can’t deliver on savings, we don’t get paid.

              "YMCA McLean County has been utilizing Schooley Mitchell's services for close to a year. David thoroughly explained the process and answered all my questions. Everyone at Schooley Mitchell has been very kind and pleasant to work with. They assessed our expenses in various areas and found opportunities for us to be more efficient and save money. YWCA McLean County is a nonprofit with limited staff time so it is very helpful to have another set of trusted eyes to analyze contracts and expenses. Working with Schooley Mitchell has allowed our administrative staff to focus more on our services and mission related offerings."

              "The process was straightforward, and the best part is that their analysts do the research and negotiations which frees up our staff time to focus on our mission and programs. They present their recommendations and if approved they implement the recommendations. And they continue to monitor the accounts and invoices every month."

              "Over the past several months I have been working with Adam Baker and David Dow of Schooley Mitchell. During our first discussion I raised a concern about our ministry being too small for them to spend their time on, or to find meaningful savings. Their answer was that there was no “too small” when it comes to God’s work and if they could assist us in moving cents or dollars from expenses to ministry then it would be well worth the effort."

              Waste

              How predictable is your waste every month?

              Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

              Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?

              Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.

              Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?

              A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

              Merchant Services

              Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?

              A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.

              Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?

              How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.

              Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?

              This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

              Telecom

              Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

              In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

              Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

              Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

              Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

              Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

              Shipping

              Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

              Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

              Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

              Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

              Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?

              Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.

                    abaker – Non-Profit Savings

                    IS YOUR NON-PROFIT BEING OVERCHARGED FOR VITAL BUSINESS SERVICES?

                    Your team has more important things to do than conducting thorough audits of your expenses. Thankfully, that’s what Schooley Mitchell does, all day, every day. We optimize your expenses so you can focus on doing what you do best – making a difference.

                    At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent. Our consultants don’t accept kickbacks or incentives from service providers, and our process is completely risk-free. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to generate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact. If we can’t deliver on savings, we don’t get paid.

                    Waste

                    How predictable is your waste every month?

                    Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

                    Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?

                    Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.

                    Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?

                    A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

                    Merchant Services

                    Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?

                    A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.

                    Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?

                    How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.

                    Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?

                    This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

                    Telecom

                    Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

                    In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

                    Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

                    Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

                    Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

                    Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

                    Shipping

                    Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

                    Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

                    Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

                    Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

                    Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?

                    Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.
