If you've got a list of billing guidelines set out in your service level agreements with vendors, we'll review your incoming invoices for compliance, enforcing guidelines. This, in turn, reduces the overall review requirement and cost with time as your vendors will gradually conform to the guidelines set forth in the pre-determined agreements. If you need help creating a robust set of billing guidelines as a first step in the legal bill review process, we can also help with that.
