Cost containment has become an integral part of corporate America’s culture. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, over thirty-eight million layoffs have occurred in the past two years. With the opportunity to cut costs through workforce reductions diminishing, companies are now turning their attention to other cost areas for additional savings opportunities. But, often times they do not have the expertise or time to maximize these savings opportunities.

Chartwell has developed cost containment expertise in specific areas to assist corporate America in their cost reduction initiatives. We identify, document, and reduce or recover overpayments of specific expenses. The cost areas that Chartwell provides its services for are: office supplies, property taxes, and sales and use taxes. Overpayments are identified and recovered through the utilization of trade secrets, company developed databases and programs, and by the employment of trained specialists in their particular cost containment field.
