To whom it may concern,

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mitch McCoy of Schooley Mitchell. We engaged Mitch to audit our merchant service, waste, and propane expenses. As a nonprofit every penny counts, so we looked forward to seeing what savings could be found.

The Ventura County Council is an important organization that strives to help prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices by instilling in them the values of the Scout and Law. It currently serves over 1,800 youth, including traditional Scouts, Explorers, and non-scouts; and sends over 500 youth to camp each year.

Mitch’s team analyzed our merchant service, waste, and propane invoices to determine whether
savings could be found. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy the process is for the client. All that was required was a conversation about our operation, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there.

I was thrilled when Mitch came back to me and presented the report showing that Schooley
Mitchell was able to identify savings of over 30% in Merchant Service fees and 35% in Propane! We’ll be able to repurpose this money in our budget, which will benefit our organization. Our waste was fully optimized, but they will continue to monitor and pursue any opportunity for savings throughout our relationship.

Overall, my experience with Schooley Mitchell and Mitch McCoy was excellent, and I would
strongly suggest anyone looking to reduce costs get in touch. Mitch is professional and
enthusiastic about the work he does!

Sincerely,

George Villalobos, Scout Executive / CEO
Boy Scouts of America – Ventura County Counicl

To whom it may concern,

I would like to take this opportunity to write about my experience working with Mitch McCoy of Schooley Mitchell. After meeting Mitch for coffee and hearing about his business, we engaged him to audit our merchant service and facility supply expenses. We’ve wondered if we were overspending but did not have the time or resources to dedicate to an analysis ourselves.

Workzones is an inspiring, convenient, flexible, and affordable coworking space located in downtown Santa Barbara. Our members and guests are part of a community of independent, free-thinking, and self-motivated people with access to Online reservations for Meeting Rooms, Conference Rooms, Board Rooms, and Event Spaces. Offering complimentary Wi-Fi, premium coffee, tea, and chilled, filtered water and ice, printing & scanning, and private phone booths provides for a professional yet personal environment for all members and guests.

Mitch met with us to discuss our operation and current setup, collected our merchant service and facility supply statements and contracts, and explained the Schooley Mitchell process in detail. Everything was seamless and easy to get the analysis going. Once the fact-finding and document collection was complete, the analysts at Schooley Mitchell did the rest.

After several weeks, Mitch came back to us and presented a report showing that Schooley Mitchell was able to identify merchant service savings of 20%1 Unfortunately, this recommendation would require a change in vendors and some manual input on our end. We eventually opted to pass, but Mitch’s team will continue to look for viable solutions for the remainder of our partnership.

After reviewing our facility supply setup, Schooley Mitchell found that our expenses are already completely optimized. That gave us peace of mind, knowing we haven’t overpaid in the past, and that Schooley Mitchell will continue to monitor the market for new savings opportunities.

Overall, our experience with Schooley Mitchell and Mitch McCoy was excellent, and we highly recommend any business or organization take advantage of their expertise.

Sincerely,

Kirk Peacock | Workzones CO-founder
