ERA - Why ERA?

Our clients say we helped them stop losing time, money and opportunities. CEO’s and CFO’s agree we know how to reduce costs and find more profit.

Skeptical? We start with common sense that is not common practice – "A penny saved is a penny earned."

Executives and stakeholders look to our Advisors and Analysts for Category E-SCAN’s – a one page ERA knowledge based summary to reduce costs, find more profit and create more value. Working with your management team, we develop together a “Continuous profit improvement plan” just for you – looking at each element of the Category E-SCAN – your Strategy, Costs, Alignment and Numbers.

Our History

We founded Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) in the U.K. in 1992, and today we are a leading global advisory firm and cost-reduction consultancy. ERA’s worldwide network of over 700 members advise, analyze and advocate for CEOs and CFOs. Working with them, we create a continuous profit improvement cycle. No one wants to be successful once.

While most organizations excel at managing core operations and core operating expenses, ERA excels at reducing overhead G&A expenses. Armed with data from more than 14,000 successful cost-reduction projects, ERA achieves an average savings of 19.7%.

We achieve these results with our four-step process – we analyze, recommend, implement and monitor. The advantage to our clients is that we deliver savings without compromising quality or service. In fact, our clients typically experience improved quality and service.

Why ERA is Different

Our passion is to reduce your costs and find you more profit. Our multi-year strategy to drive savings and growth is knowledge. With the in-depth experience, expertise and energy of ERA Consultants, clients benefit from our knowledge base; gain access to our network of resources, suppliers and connections; and leverage ERA relationships for business growth.

ERA clients appreciate our ongoing advice, solutions, collaboration and ideas. Executives value what our consultants provide – more time, money and opportunities.

We also offer a guarantee. If we find no savings for you, there is no fee.
