For towns, villages & small cities

Send us the bills. We find the charges that shouldn't be there.

Vendors overbill small towns because nobody has time to read every line. We do. Send your invoices, utility bills, contracts, and subscription lists — we review them and hand you a plain-English report of what's legit, what's padded, and what to challenge.

Small towns get billed like big cities — with a fraction of the staff to check.

A three-person office can't audit every telecom bill, waste-hauler invoice, software renewal, and "administrative fee" that crosses the desk. Vendors know this. Rate creep, duplicate charges, and automatic renewals slide through because the line items are boring and the packets are thick.

That's the job we take off your desk. You send the paperwork, we read the boring parts.

What we flag

The usual suspects.

Charges

Junk & mystery fees

"Administrative," "regulatory recovery," "service assurance" — fees that sound official and mean nothing.

Charges

Rate creep

Increases that exceed the contract escalation clause, or that nobody remembers approving.

Charges

Duplicates & math errors

Same service billed twice, quantities that don't match, totals that don't add up.

Contracts

Invoice-vs-contract mismatch

You're being billed at the "standard" rate when your contract says otherwise.

Contracts

Auto-renewal traps

Contracts that quietly renewed at a higher rate, and the window to get out before the next one.

Subscriptions

Dead software seats

Licenses for employees who left, modules nobody uses, three tools doing one job.

Telecom

Utility & phone overbilling

The single most over-billed category for small governments — wrong tariffs, phantom lines, fees on fees.

Quotes

Padded proposals

A vendor quote that balloons past the spec — we flag the padding before you sign, not after.

How it works

Three steps, no procurement maze.

  1. Send us the bills

    Upload a file with the form below, or just tell us who your vendors are and we'll tell you what to gather.

  2. We review them

    A real person goes line by line — charges vs. contract, vs. prior bills, vs. what the service should cost.

  3. You get a findings report

    Plain English: what's legit, what's questionable, what to dispute or cancel — and we can walk you through it on a call.

What it costs

We quote a flat review price before we start — no percentage-of-savings games, no surprise invoices. (We review bills; we'd be hypocrites to pad ours.) Most reviews cost less than one month of the fees we typically find.

Start a review

Tell us about your municipality

This goes straight to the EAS team — a real person reviews every submission. Attach a bill now or send it later; either way we'll tell you exactly what we need.

A .gov or municipal address if you have one — a personal address is fine too.
What do you want reviewed?
One file for now — we'll arrange a secure way to send the rest after we review your info. Files are stored privately, never publicly accessible.
Which vendors, roughly how much per month, a contract ending soon — whatever matters.
