The hidden cost of inaction: Every statement credit sitting unclaimed is an open invitation for a recovery audit firm to submit a contingency claim — and take 30% of money that's already yours.

32 years inside the industry. Now I'm on your side.

I spent over three decades in the accounts payable recovery audit industry — long enough to understand exactly how third-party firms find what they find, and exactly how much that costs the companies they audit. The contingency model is effective for them. It's expensive for you.

The dirty secret of the recovery audit industry is that most of what they find, your own team can find — with the right process, the right tools, and the right guidance. The information isn't hidden. The methodology just hasn't been shared with the companies who need it most.

"Every dollar a recovery firm collects on your behalf at 30% contingency is a dollar your company already earned — and gave away."

I built NoStatementCredits.com to change that equation. I'm not interested in taking a share of your recovery. I want to show your team how to do this themselves, create a repeatable internal process, and give you the tools to keep third-party auditors from ever having a claim worth making.

And because I believe this service should be truly accessible to any organization that needs it, all profits are gifted to a charity you choose. This isn't a business. It's a mission.

Questions & Answers

Things companies usually ask us first

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most from Controllers and CFOs.

How is this different from hiring a recovery audit firm?

A recovery firm works on contingency — they keep 25–35% of what they recover. We teach your team to find the same credits themselves, keeping 100% of the recovery. We charge for our time, and gift all profits to the charity of your choice.

Do we need special software or ERP add-ons?

No. Our process works with data you already have. If your AP team can pull reports from your ERP, you have everything you need. We'll show you what to pull and exactly what to look for.

Can interns really do this work effectively?

Absolutely — with the right structure. We design intern workflows specifically so that tasks are rule-based and supervised. Students get genuine finance experience; you get systematic coverage of your vendor base at a fraction of the cost.

What types of organizations benefit most?

Any organization that already undergoes — or is at risk of — a third-party statement audit is an ideal fit. This includes corporations, healthcare systems, universities, nonprofits, government entities, and retailers. If you have significant vendor spend and open AP history, you have credit exposure worth addressing.

How do we choose which charity receives the fee?

You tell us. Any registered nonprofit or charitable organization works. We issue the donation directly and provide you with full documentation for your own records and tax purposes.

Will this put us at odds with our current audit firm contract?

We'll review your existing agreement as part of the engagement. Most contracts have windows and exclusions we can work within — and a proactive internal review is almost always permissible even under active audit agreements.
