Who I Am + What I do at DeltaPoint Partners

How I Help My Clients

I help organizations get their costs right, by recovering money they’ve overpaid vendors and implementing cost reduction opportunities. I assume all financial risk in my client relationships by working on a performance-basis, meaning I don’t receive compensation unless my clients realize a cash flow improvement.

My specialties include: cost control, cost efficiency, cash flow management, cost-benefit analysis, negotiation, and process improvement.

Why I do what I do

I have a strong desire to help others and am passionate about helping organizations improve cash flow. I like to eliminate waste of any kind, especially money.

Prior to starting my cost recovery business, I worked for Fortune 500 companies, including a manufacturer, a distributor, and a local utility. During this time, I honed my skills as a cost and profitability analyst. I tried justifying my salary by finding annual cost savings equaling at least 3-times my salary. In my quest to find cost savings, I discovered organizations don’t have the time or expertise to properly verify and benchmark key expenses. I started my business so that I could help organizations save on their business costs, by providing insight that is not available on most procurement and financial teams.

How I Spend My Free Time

I enjoy spending time with my wife, three sons, and two dogs. In addition, I enjoy exercising, volunteering, coaching youth sports, traveling, and attending sporting events – in particular, SU basketball.

I’m continuously investing in self-improvement by reading books, listening to podcasts, and meeting others. I also stay abreast on industry insights and trends, to remain a valuable resource for my current and future clients.

We have been extremely happy

In our organization, cost control is very important, and we constantly monitor our expenses and bottom line, but I figured we had nothing to lose to engage your expert cost recovery services. I would like to express my appreciation for the audit your staff performed for us. You identified and corrected billing problems that had gone undetected, plus uncovered, and implemented cost reduction opportunities. We have been extremely happy with the cost savings and your service, professionalism, and responsiveness. You made the process easy for us. I would highly recommend Integrity Cost Consulting to those organizations concerned with their bottom line, especially to our fellow healthcare-related organizations.

I feel comfortable recommending ICC to any organization

Integrity Cost Consulting reduced our utility and telecom costs with a minimal amount of time on our part.

In addition to reduced costs, we have peace of mind knowing we are being charged accurately and cost-efficiently by our providers.  The process is efficient and did not interfere with our daily operations since the audit was performed off-site.  The in-depth review of our invoices and supporting documentation has produced a long-term benefit for our company.

As with most companies our size, the time involved to thoroughly review these billings on a monthly basis is at a premium.  Your communication with us during the audit was professional, organized, and illuminating.  I feel comfortable recommending Integrity Cost Consulting to any organization considering analyzing their expenditures, in an effort to reduce costs.

Highly recommend using their services

We were approached by Integrity Cost Consulting several years ago regarding an audit they could perform on our expenses. This audit was to ensure we were not being overcharged for our telecom, utilities, and waste management and were receiving the best market price on our gas and electric. We only recently took them up on their offer and couldn’t be happier with the results.

It required little time and effort on our part to put together the necessary information needed for Steve Thompson and his team to delve into our waste, telephone, gas, water, and electric expenses. At no cost to us, Steve and his team reviewed the information we sent and was able to save us thousands of dollars a year by finding errors and overcharges and renegotiating contracts on our behalf. Quickly and efficiently, Steve and his team put together a small series of presentations on our cost savings opportunities so we could best make decisions on how to proceed. Not only did he save us money on the spot, but the company continues to monitor our utilities monthly to make sure the changes have been implemented.

In short, we are disappointed we hadn’t taken them up on their offer sooner. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly navigating a complicated market with ease and simplifying the information to allow for easy decision making. It has been a great experience and we are ecstatic with the service we have received and the cost savings to our company. I highly recommend using their services especially now when cost savings could make a huge difference.

We are thankful for the audit findings

Cost control is important at Sun Development and it’s imperative for us to uncover every opportunity for cost savings.  We never had an invoice audit like this performed, so we thought it would be beneficial, especially since there was no risk.  The entire process was well-organized, simple, timely and efficient.  We were kept updated throughout the audit.  We are thankful for the audit findings.  The auditors shed some light on an area we haven’t reviewed in several years.  I am confident about the services provided by Integrity Cost Consulting and I feel comfortable recommending them.

We are very happy with the results

Initially, we were not interested in the services offered by Integrity Cost Consulting.  We were already reviewing our utility and telecom invoices, so I didn’t think it would be worth our time.  However, since there was no financial risk to working with Integrity Cost Consulting, I told our controller to schedule a short meeting with Steve.  I’m glad I did, because we realized that our monthly review of invoices, and just comparing the charges to previous months and our budget, was not enough to ensure that we were being charged accurately and cost efficiently.

We are very happy with the results of the audit.  Integrity Cost Consulting found us monthly cost reductions for both utility and telecom.  We had been overpaying for these services for years.  It’s unfortunate we didn’t meet with Steve sooner.

We found Steve to be trustworthy and professional.  His audit team was also very helpful and professional.  We were kept updated throughout the audit.  Steve and his audit team were very thorough and organized.  As a result of our partnership with Integrity Cost Consulting, I know we will now be paying the lowest cost possible for our utility and telecom services.

I would recommend Integrity Cost Consulting to any organization that is concerned about their costs.
