Recurring Cost Review
Every line you pay monthly, found, priced honestly and given a verdict — then a calendar that stops it happening again.
What it is
Finds every direct debit, card charge and standing order the business is running, including the ones nobody remembers signing, and judges each against what breaks if it stops. Produces the true annual number, four verdicts with the tests behind them, the scripts that move a vendor, and the renewal calendar that makes this a one-hour job next year. For owners and finance leads whose costs grew by accretion rather than by decision.
What you receive
every recurring cost inventoried from statements rather than memory, each line carried to one of four verdicts — keep, renegotiate, downgrade, cancel — with its true annual figure and reversibility grade, the ready-to-send renegotiation, downgrade and cancellation scripts, and a dated renewal calendar with the notice deadlines and standing rules that stop the silent annual increase
