National Cost Containment announced today that they will be expanding their offerings to include auditing services for accounts payable and sales tax audit and recovery. This new service can aid clients in recovering overpaid taxes from various taxing agencies.NCC already offers their clients the ability to contain costs in more than sixty common cost areas, including equipment maintenance, computer supplies and food service. Lee Ferry of NCC explains that “containment is very different from cost cutting. A business cannot function in cost-cutting mode on a long-term basis. Since cost containment involves controlling increases in costs before they occur, it is a means of controlling future risk.” He goes on to elaborate that the “strategies for cost containment can be applied to small companies just as easily as large ones, because they involve the same two groups of people: employees and vendors”.NCC also has a strict policy regarding customer satisfaction and now also offers a new No Fee guarantee program. NCC works with each individual client and bases their commission off the percentage of the dollars saved, not a flat fee rate.About National Cost Containment: The West Palm Beach, Florida-based company helps its clients realize “best-in-market” pricing from their suppliers.
