        "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."

            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.

            "Schooley Mitchell's support team under David Dow's leadership have been instrumental in helping us realize substantial annual cost savings in several functional operating areas. The subject matter expertise they provided has been a welcome addition to our collective review and analysis of spending habits. The collaborative team communication, rhythm, and cadence has been excellent. David has created a partnership with our organization and implemented and managed a process that has resulted in cost savings and performance improvement."

            "Schooley Mitchell's services of scrutinizing invoices and serving as point of contact with select vendors provide our staff the space to direct attention to other critical duties. The added benefit is we are saving money and have peace of mind in knowing there are experts on our side reviewing invoices and negotiating the best price on our behalf! The service level has been top notch with speedy turnaround to questions and timely reports. We value our partnership with Schooley Mitchell!"

            "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. We are always looking for opportunities to reduce costs without affecting services. 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."

            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.

                      Inspired by our previous work in Africa supporting public health and education initiatives, my husband and I are dedicated to rejuvenating mangrove habitats in Mbuguni, Kenya. This project ensures full transparency in the planting process and promotes environmental sustainability. By uplifting economically disadvantaged coastal populations, we foster poverty alleviation and create new income sources for locals through fishing opportunities and sustainable mangrove forest yields.

                      Shannon is a stellar client relations specialist who goes above and beyond to find cost reduction solutions. Her team's innovative approach and meticulous analysis of our expenses allowed us to uncover savings we hadn't even considered. I was thrilled when Shannon came back to me with a detailed report, revealing that Schooley Mitchell had identified savings in our waste disposal, phone, and internet services. This new found budget flexibility will greatly benefit our organization.

                      Shannon’s team analyzed our credit/debit card processing and shipping invoices to determine whether savings could be found. The Schooley Mitchell process is seamless and easy for the client. All that was required was a quick conversation about our set up, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there. My confidence was proven right when Shannon came back to me and presented the report showing that Schooley Mitchell was able to identify 45% savings in credit/debit card processing and significant recommendations to reduce our shipping costs. This will go a long way toward refocusing our budget on what matters most.
