Does the invoice
actually add up?
Your suppliers send invoices. Somebody approves them. Almost nobody adds them up, because doing it by hand for a whole month is a job nobody has time for.
Type them straight off the page. Commas and dollar signs are fine, and the total updates as you go.
A gap does not prove anybody billed you wrongly. It means the document disagrees with itself, and the reason could be a mistake on their side, a line you missed typing, or a charge that belongs there and was never explained. It means look, not accuse.
The questions nobody asks
Five you should be able to answer
- Which of your suppliers raised a price this year, and what date did it change?
- What did you pay in delivery, fuel and other add-on lines last quarter?
- Has the same invoice ever been paid twice, and would you know if it had?
- When did anyone last add a supplier invoice up by hand, line by line?
- If the arithmetic on an invoice were wrong, who in the building would catch it?
Beyond one invoice
What the full read does
The check above is one invoice and two numbers. The read is the same motion across a defined period and one or more suppliers, done properly.
It reconciles
Every line on every invoice, one row each, with the source document named on every row. Each line is multiplied out and checked against the amount printed beside it, the lines against the subtotal, the subtotal and tax against the total.
It remembers
Prices are compared across the period, so a unit price that moved shows up with both dates and both figures. Document numbers are compared too, so an invoice that arrived twice is flagged rather than paid twice.
It hands you the letter
Where something needs asking, you get a written request to send, citing the invoices and the dates, asking them to confirm the rate you agreed and when it changed. You send it. We never do.
Where you can find the agreement you signed, the read compares the billing against it. Where you cannot, and most owners cannot, it still reports the arithmetic and the price movement, because those need no contract to be true.
Posture, in writing
What this will never claim
This corner of the market is full of operators who audit a statement in order to move you onto something they earn a commission on.
- We never say a supplier billed you wrongly.When a figure disagrees with its own lines, either the document is wrong or the reading is, and only a person looking at the page can say which. What you get is the disagreement, named precisely, with the document and the line it came from.
- We never promise you money back.The promise is that you will know. Knowing is worth the fee on the month everything ties, which does happen and gets reported plainly.
- We never contact your suppliers.The letter is written for you to send, in your name, on your terms. Your relationship with them stays yours.
- We take nothing from any supplier, processor or carrier.No commission, no referral fee, no rebate, ever. You are the only party paying, which is the only way the answer can be trusted.
- Your documents stay yours.The reading runs on a machine we control, and your invoices are not handed to an outside service to process.
Worth a conversation?
Bring one invoice to the call. Fifteen minutes, and you will know whether there is anything here worth chasing in your own numbers. If there is not, that is what we will tell you.
