Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA)

Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) increases client profits through cost reduction while preserving or improving service quality. This is done on a success fee basis where ERA only receives compensation if savings are achieved. Therefore, no savings = no fees. However, on average, they reduce expenses in each category they review by over 23%.

ERA reviews many non-core categories where clients are generally too busy or lack expertise to review with a special consideration to energy reduction, waste management and recycling.
