What if you could pay your company’s utility and lease-based expenses each month and be secure in the knowledge that they were accurate, within contract compliance, and that your company was taking advantage of all available opportunities hidden within the utility company’s tariffs?

Most companies don’t mind paying their fair share for services, but no one likes to be overcharged, or have the feeling they are paying more than they are required to.

Since 1989 McKenzie & Associates has proudly and tenaciously gone about the business of ensuring that our clients are billed accurately and the most cost-effectively for their utility services and/or lease-based expenses.

We are an expense management and auditing firm whose mission is to make sure that our clients pay absolutely no more to their utility suppliers, landlords, and other vendors than those entities are entitled to receive.

A thorough understanding of utility company billing practices and tariff structures enables us to identify common areas of overcharge, along with opportunities to obtain more favorable pricing and overall savings – and without having to change the way our clients actually use their utilities.

With lease-based charges we employ a similar expertise as to how landlords and developers typically function, how they structure their billings, and most importantly – how they use their strength (as perceived by their tenants) to their advantage when negotiating and dealing with tenants.

We enjoy established, long-term relationships with all of the major national developers and many smaller landlords. Our dealings with these landlords are always of a professional nature, and we have earned their respect and cooperation by bringing only legitimate grievances to their attention. We do not throw a bevy of marginal complaints against them “to see what sticks”.

Whether through a historical audit to recover overcharges – usually performed on a contingency basis – or ongoing review to simultaneously audit and capture data critical for management of costs, we provide a function that most companies have neither the expertise nor resources to perform in-house. Recovery amounts vary, but we are successful 85% - 90% of the time in causing either a refund or future saving.

We are one of the oldest and most experienced utility and landlord auditing firms, and no one takes the mission of looking out for their clients more personally than we do.

We love what we do, we’re proud of what we provide for our clients, and we’re very, very good at it.
