Who This Is For

Built for operators who want more
from what they already have.

CEOs growing revenue

You are scaling, but profitability is not keeping pace with revenue. Margins compress quietly while the top line looks healthy. We find the gap and close it.

CFOs managing complexity

Dozens of vendor relationships. You know there is waste in the stack, but your team does not have the bandwidth or benchmarks to find it. We do.

Owners paying too much tax

Your accountant files returns. We find credits, refunds, and structural savings they were never looking for. Zero risk. Performance-based.

The Opportunity

The margin you are missing is
not a mistake. It is an oversight.

Most businesses are paying more than they should across telecom, utilities, merchant processing, insurance, and employee benefits. Not because anyone made a bad decision, but because nobody has revisited those decisions with fresh data and independent benchmarks.

At the same time, most businesses are leaving tax credits, refunds, and structural savings unclaimed. Not because their accountant is bad, but because these strategies sit outside the scope of a standard tax practice.

Revenue grows. But the profit that should come with it does not fully arrive.

Our Approach

Two engines. One engagement.

Most firms only look at one side of the equation. We maximize across both.

01

Expense Optimization

We audit every vendor contract, billing statement, and monthly invoice across your major overhead categories. Our 60+ category specialists identify overcharges, missed credits, and contract drift, then negotiate corrections on your behalf.

No vendor changes required
02

Tax & Benefits Optimization

We unlock WOTC credits, R&D credits, and specialty tax refunds your current accountant is not looking for. Most businesses have never been audited for credits they are already entitled to. Typical impact runs $40K to $1M+ annually depending on size and hiring volume.

Performance-based

We only get paid out of what we find.

We earn when you gain. That is the only arrangement that makes sense.

Zero Switching

We work within your existing vendor ecosystem. No migrations, no ramp-up periods, no operational friction.

Zero Time Drain

Your team stays focused on revenue. We handle all vendor conversations, implementation, and monitoring. You receive the benefit.

Zero Risk

If we do not find savings, you pay nothing. We protect recovered savings for five years with active monitoring. Results are guaranteed.

The Process

From conversation to results
in 30 to 60 days.

It starts with a conversation. We handle everything from there.

1

A short conversation

We learn about your business, vendor landscape, and where you suspect overhead may be higher than it should be. A short call. No preparation required.

2

You share the data

If it looks like there is an opportunity, you send us invoices, contracts, and benefit summaries. We tell you exactly what we need.

3

Deep analysis

Our specialists audit every line item across all overhead categories. You do nothing. We come back with specific findings and a clear savings number.

4

We implement

You will not get a binder of recommendations. Vendors get negotiated, filings get made, and the savings land in your P&L. No fee unless we deliver.

5

You keep the upside

We share in what we find. If we do not find savings, you owe nothing. Your business funds what is next.

6

We protect it for 5 years

Active monitoring for vendor reversion, fee creep, and contract drift. This is ongoing financial discipline, not a one-time audit.

Results

What this looks like in practice.

Every engagement is different. These are real outcomes from our client base.

$1M/year

FedEx parcel discounts renegotiated from 25% to 49%. A 146-employee company added $1M annually to the bottom line, a 30% earnings increase that added $7M in market value.

Freight & Shipping / 146 Employees
$300,000+

An HVAC company with 57 employees added $300K+ to annual profits through insurance, tax, PEO restructuring, and CRM fee reduction. A 20% increase in net profit. Zero vendor changes.

HVAC / 57 Employees
45%

Health insurance premiums cut from $24,809 to $13,776 per month by moving from traditional plans to a multi-cell captive structure. Same coverage. Same providers. Same employees.

Healthcare / 25+ Employees
$121,928

ServiceTitan CRM fees reduced from $120K to $39K. Credit card processing optimized. Combined annual savings of $121,928 for a single trade business.

Trades / ServiceTitan User
The $150K Exit

A pizza shop owner wanted to retire but thought his business was unsellable. We restructured his overhead, cleaned up his vendor contracts, and improved his EBIT enough to fund a real exit. He sold for $150,000 more than he thought possible. Not every engagement is seven figures. Some are about one person's next chapter.

Hospitality / Owner Exit
Scope

Nine areas where margin expansion lives.

Tax Credits & Refunds

WOTC, R&D, sales/property/use tax recovery. Typical impact: $40K to $1M+ annually. Most businesses have never been audited for credits they are entitled to.

Insurance & Benefits

ICHRA, captive structures, self-insurance with RBP. 30-45% premium reductions. $4,000+ per employee per year.

Freight & Shipping

Prepaid freight markup recovery, FedEx/UPS parcel renegotiation (25% to 49% discounts). $120K to $1M+ annually. Inbound freight optimization for hospitals and manufacturers.

Telecommunications

AT&T and carrier cost reduction, contract renegotiation, compliance audits. Legacy rate plans, unused capacity, and misaligned account structures hide thousands annually.

Utilities & Energy

Rate optimization and energy procurement. A client using 2.54M kWh reduced costs by 2.35 cents per kWh, saving $132,267 in year one alone.

Merchant Processing

Processing fees, interchange rates, and gateway charges compound across transaction volume. Credit card processing audits routinely uncover significant overcharges.

Services & Supplies

Medical supply audits (Medline, McKesson), GPO refunds, CRM fees. One trade business saved $121K annually on ServiceTitan and card processing alone.

Treasury & Banking

eChecks, merchant services, factoring cost reduction. SMEs save up to $240K per $1M of receivables by restructuring inefficient factoring arrangements.

Payroll & Retirement

401K advisory fees at 20-25 bps when market rate is 10 bps. ADP overcharges of 100-250%. Plan fee and payroll corrections routinely worth five to six figures annually.

Fortune 500 financial discipline. Applied to your business.

Plain Terms

Profit recovery, in plain terms.

What is a profit recovery firm?

A profit recovery firm audits a company's existing spending (vendor contracts, invoices, payroll, insurance, and tax filings) to find and recover overcharges, billing errors, unclaimed credits, and structural savings.

How much does a profit recovery audit cost?

Nothing upfront. Engagements are 100% performance-based. If we find no savings, you pay nothing.

How much can a business expect to recover?

Typical recoveries run $1,000 to $4,000 per W-2 employee per year, which adds 5 to 10% to the annual bottom line for most clients.

Do we have to change vendors or disrupt operations?

No. We work within your existing vendor ecosystem, renegotiating contracts and correcting billing rather than switching suppliers.

How long does profit recovery take?

Most engagements go from first conversation to implemented savings in 30 to 60 days, followed by five years of active monitoring.

What kinds of businesses does Pendrill & Associates work with?

Any organization with 25 or more employees: manufacturing, logistics, trades, professional services, and retail, with dedicated practices for healthcare organizations and non-profits.

What would stronger margins
fund for your business?

A new hire. Better benefits for your team. The expansion you have been planning. We make sure you have the capital to choose.

You have already done the hard work of building the revenue. Let us secure the profit.
