Derby’s Restaurant and Bar

"I would like to take this opportunity to recommend the services of Brian O'Sullivan and the team at Schooley Mitchell. They have saved me money and a lot of time! The rates they negotiated for us are saving us money each month on our trash service. I also would like to mention that when there are any problems, they call the vendor and resolve issues that we have had with overage charges, missed pickups, and even getting the fence around our dumpsters repaired that were damaged by the trucks when the trash was picked up."

kbetz – Golf Course Savings

IS YOUR GOLF BUSINESS 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 – maintaining pristine greens and an unforgettable player experience.

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.
