Five places the cash usually leaks out.
These aren't exotic problems. They're the same places I find every Sunday night reading my own books. After 30 minutes on the right four screens (P&L, SaaS bill, ad account, the workflows you do every Friday), I know where yours are.
02 Ad spend
Google Ads waste.
Burning on broad-match terms that haven't converted in 90 days. Negative keywords missing. Call extension untracked. 20–40% of monthly spend usually recoverable.
03 Trucks
Truck & dispatch waste.
Routes built by gut, not by zone. Trucks late on Tuesdays. Overtime that's structural, not seasonal. Parts inventory sitting on three trucks instead of one.
04 Quotes
Quote-to-close drop-off.
50% of quotes never followed up on. One estimator bidding 18% under everyone else. No pricing floor enforced. Quotes that close 14 days late instead of 2.
05 Fridays
Manual workflows.
Review requests, follow-ups and job-cost reconciliation, done by hand every week. Work that should run itself. See business automation.
How it works
How the diagnostic works.
Day 1 · 30 minutesThe free call
A screen-share. I open three things: your P&L, your SaaS bill, and your ad account. Then I ask about the three things you do manually every Friday. That's where the leaks are.
Within 24 hoursA one-page plan
The leaks I found, their dollar values, and the order to fix them. It's yours to keep, whatever you decide next.
After that · your callFix it yourself or hire me
Take the plan to your bookkeeper or ops manager. Many owners run with it and never need me again. Or get a fixed price for me to fix it, from $1,200. No retainer.
FAQ
Questions about cost reduction consulting
What does a business cost reduction consultant in Calgary actually do?
I find recurring cost leaks in your business: SaaS subscriptions you're paying twice for, Google Ads spend on broad-match keywords that haven't converted in 90 days, dispatch overtime that's structural not seasonal, and manual workflows you do every Friday that should run themselves. The free call is a 30-minute screen-share where I look at your P&L, SaaS bill, and ad accounts. You walk away with a one-page plan either way.
How much does cost reduction consulting cost in Calgary?
The 30-minute call is free, and you keep the one-page plan either way. If you want me to implement the fixes, it's a fixed price from $1,200, usually 2–6 weeks. No retainer. Support from $100 a month is optional if you want me to keep things running.
Where does the cash usually leak in a $1M–$3M Calgary business?
Five places, in order of frequency. (1) SaaS overlap: two CRMs doing 80% the same thing, $200–$800/mo recoverable. (2) Google Ads: broad-match terms that haven't converted in 90 days, 20–40% of monthly spend recoverable. (3) Dispatch and routing: trucks late on Tuesdays, structural overtime, parts inventory split across trucks. (4) Quote-to-close: 50% of quotes never followed up on, one estimator bidding 18% under everyone else. (5) Manual workflows: review requests, follow-ups, job-cost reconciliation done by hand.
How is this different from MNP, BDO, or a traditional management consultant?
Big firms send a team, charge $50K+, take 8 weeks, and hand you a 30-page PDF. I'm one operator who runs two businesses myself, charges $0 for the first call, takes 30 minutes, and hands you a one-page plan. You implement it yourself, or get a fixed price for me to fix one thing. Not a competing model. Different problem.
Do I need to be in Calgary?
I work with businesses in Calgary, Chestermere, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, and surrounding Alberta. The call is a screen-share, so geography isn't a hard constraint, but the local context matters. I read Calgary trades P&Ls every week and the patterns repeat.
