Utility Audit — Why Now?
With U6 unemployment over 17% and the US economy mired in recession, times are challenging for manufacturers. Local governments are in a cash squeeze and donations to non-profits are also down across the board. CFO’s everywhere have much on their plates, even though plants have slowed and production is depressed, money is in short supply. A utility audit can uncover savings overlooked from past good months (36 in many states) and allow you to make changes to reduce utility bills as your business recovers in coming years. This can mean cash now and future savings as your business rebuilds. Each month that goes by without knowing the results of a utility audit is one month (36 months ago) less that can mistakes can be audited and recovered. Each current month that lapses is a month that a corrected billing will not be in effect. Since obtaining bill histories and anaylsis is done by Discovery, very little time is required of CFO’s and staff to complete an audit and implement the findings. This is one simple and easy thing that can increase cash flow and cut expenses. We just completed an audit for a national bottling company that resulted in a $70,000.00 in rebates and $2,000.00 savings per month, beginning January 2010! Let us get started on your company today!
