Telecommunications Bill Audit service
You count on voice and data services to do business, but some telecom companies count on you being too busy to notice how much they overcharge you. Without someone who can help decipher all the charges on your bill, you could continue to overpay tens of thousands of dollars per month. Allied Business Solutions puts that money back in your budget where it belongs, saving clients an average of 40% on their telecom expenses.
We have found 80% of telecom invoices include vendor billing errors, unnecessary services, and misapplied taxes, tariffs, and surcharges.

We don’t get paid unless we cut your bills, so it’s in our best interest and yours to leave no errors or overcharges undiscovered. And unlike our competitors, we continue to monitor your bills to ensure new erroneous charges don’t appear.
