This means more cash flow for your business and an increase without extra work on your end. We take care of the cost-saving process so you can focus on running and growing your business.

      At a glance, here’s how we deliver measurable value to our clients — with no risk, no upfront cost, and minimal disruption:

      Expense Reduction is Our Focus

      Unlike businesses juggling operations, vendors, and shifting priorities, cost savings is our full-time job.

      Real Market Intelligence

      We negotiate for thousands of clients daily, giving us unique insight into what your peers and competitors are actually paying.

      Minimal Disruption

      80%+ of the time, clients keep their current vendors. When change is recommended, it’s entirely your choice.

      Wide Reach, Local Presence

      With over 350 offices across North America, we support clients wherever they do business.

      Technology & Tools

      We use advanced billing error detection software and continuously monitor vendors to ensure ongoing savings. Vital but hugely time consuming, done on our time, not yours.

      Expert Team

      Our 150+ full-time staff includes dedicated analysts who monitor markets, negotiate directly with vendors, and deliver results. Vital for the ever changing vendors markets.

      Proven Pricing Database

      Built over years, our best-in-class pricing benchmark data base, allows us to identify overcharges and missed opportunities.

      Risk-Free Engagement

      If we don’t find savings with equal or better services, there’s no charge. You’re never obligated to accept recommendations. Remain in complete control.

      Fully Independent

      We work only for our clients — not vendors — and our loyalty is 100% to you.

      Hands-Off Implementation

      We handle the entire implementation process — no extra work for your team.

      Success-Based Compensation

      We’re only paid a share of actual savings, not until three months after they’ve been implemented.

        sbinter – School District Savings

        ARE YOU 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.

        We know your auditors and/or accountants do a fantastic job reviewing your budgets and spending; however, we can’t all be experts in everything. Schooley Mitchell’s team of experienced analysts know how to identify savings opportunities and overspending in key areas.

        At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. Our consultants receive no incentives or bonuses from services providers. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to negotiate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact; if we don’t deliver 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.

        Compressed Gases

        Do you think your compressed gases expenses are written in stone?

        Commodity markets can be complex and confusing, making it difficult for business owners and managers to navigate.

        Are you certain there are no billing errors in your invoices?

        There are opportunities to optimize pricing structures and recover billing errors.

        Are you receiving all tax benefits available to you?

        Your business might be missing out on significant savings opportunities.

                sbinter – Veterinary Savings

                IS YOUR VETERINARY 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 – providing health care for animals.

                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.

                Case Study

                The Client:

                • Signs a Service Agreement that covers our business terms
                • Provides us with bills, or online access to their accounts, so we can establish a baseline of their current rate structure
                • Signs a letter of agency, so we can negotiate with their current vendors
                • Describes their current processing environment

                Part 1: Client Background

                Client A is a single-location veterinary practice focusing on family pets. Client A engaged Schooley Mitchell to ensure they weren’t overpaying on their non-veterinary expenses, like payment processing.

                Important Factors - Payment Processing:

                • Payment processing was a considerable expense for Client A.
                • They were on a tiered pricing structure with their incumbent payment provider.
                • They were not under an appropriate rate structure leaving room for savings.
                • They were spending $46,220.04 per year on payment processing fees.

                Part 2: Savings Results

                Schooley Mitchell negotiated with several payment processors, including Client A’s incumbent vendor, who was willing to provide a more competitively priced rate structure.

                This resulted in an estimated reduction of $16,970.52 per year - or roughly 37%

                This was all achieved without any changes to Client A’s payment processing structure.

                Across the term of our engagement, Client A is saving $50,911.56!

                Part 3: Implementation & Post Audits

                Schooley Mitchell provided a timeline for implementation, including accurate instructions for steps involving Client A’s vendors.

                Schooley Mitchell verified implementation within one month, dependent on the necessary invoices presented.

                The client received a detailed implementation report outlining a savings summary for the next three years.

                Following implementation, Schooley Mitchell continued to monitor Client A’s invoices quarterly, to ensure the agreed upon rates were being honored, and ensure any billing errors were caught right away.

                  Getting Started is Easy!

                  Step 1

                  Sign our Letter of Agency & Service Agreement

                  You also sign a letter of agency so we can negotiate with your current vendors, because chances are you’re not looking to switch. You also sign our service agreement which covers our business terms.

                  Provide Us Invoices or Online Access

                  You provide us with the bills or online access to your vendors so we can establish a baseline of your current cost structure.

                  Step 2

                  We do the Analysis & Negotiating.

                  This is where we use our benchmarking data to research options and negotiate better deals for you.

                  Set Up a Call to Introduce Our Specialist

                  We don't need much from you during this step, just a quick call to introduce our specialist who is doing the work.

                  Step 3

                  We Share Our Recommendations

                  Then we share our recommendations with you. You choose what to implement and we take it from there.
