Cut your monthly overhead. We audit your software subscriptions to identify unused licenses, redundant tools, and wasted spend, giving you a clear plan to save money immediately.

Stop paying for software you don't use.
Fred Lundin CPA offers specialized Software Subscription Analysis Services for businesses that have lost control of their monthly recurring expenses.
In the subscription economy, it is incredibly easy to sign up for a tool and forget about it. "SaaS Bloat"—the accumulation of unused, redundant, or overpriced software licenses—can quietly drain thousands of dollars from your bottom line every year. We provide the forensic audit you need to stop the bleeding.
We comb through your credit card statements, bank feeds, and employee expense reports to build a complete inventory of your digital spend. We identify duplicate tools (e.g., three different project management apps), "zombie" subscriptions (paying for seats for employees who left), and overpriced tiers where you are paying for features you never touch.
We deliver a clear "Keep, Kill, or Consolidate" report that empowers you to slash overhead immediately without disrupting operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much can I actually save?
Industry data suggests that up to 30% of software spend in small-to-mid-sized businesses is wasted. For a company spending $5,000/month on software, that is $18,000 a year back in your pocket. The savings often pay for our service many times over.
What is "Shadow IT"?
Shadow IT refers to software that employees purchase on their own company cards without IT or Finance approval. This creates security risks and financial waste. Our analysis flushes these hidden subscriptions out into the open so you can centralize control.
Will you cancel the subscriptions for me?
We provide the intelligence and the action plan. While we can't log in and click "cancel" on your behalf (due to liability), we give you a prioritized list with direct links and instructions, making the cancellation process as fast as possible for your admin team.
Do you negotiate with vendors?
Yes. For larger contracts (like Salesforce, HubSpot, or NetSuite), we can review your usage vs. your contract terms. We often find leverage points to help you negotiate a better rate or a "right-sized" tier upon renewal.
How often should we do this?
We recommend a full audit annually, or whenever you go through a significant headcount change (hiring spree or layoffs). Regular hygiene prevents the bloat from creeping back in.
