Business cost reduction
Your business already earned the money. We help you keep it.
We help owners and CFOs explore tariff refunds, payroll tax savings, and lower shipping costs by connecting them with specialist partners.
Based in Kansas City. Serving businesses nationwide.
Where we find it.
Tariff refunds
If you import, you may have paid duties you can get back. A specialist reviews eligibility and handles the filing.
Payroll tax savings
A Section 125 plan that lowers employer payroll taxes and gives your team virtual care.
Business funding
Need capital to grow? We connect you with funding options that fit how your business actually runs.
Shipping costs
Our parcel specialist reviews your UPS and FedEx contracts for savings opportunities.
How it works
Step 1: Run your numbers
Use the calculators on our service pages to get a rough idea of what you could be saving on shipping, benefits and payroll taxes.
Step 2: Tell us about your business
Share basic business details and the services you want to explore. No sensitive documents are needed for the initial conversation.
Step 3: Talk it through
We get on a call, go over what you’re dealing with, and connect you with the partner who can help you the most.
Partner track record
Specialists behind the savings.
Our parcel partner, ShipSigma, reports the following results across its customer engagements. These are partner-wide figures, not TFI client results or a forecast for your business.
Source: ShipSigma partner information. Individual results depend on shipment profile, contract terms, and service fees.
Our benefits program is intended for qualifying employers with 40 or more W-2 employees. Savings depend on eligible employee participation and plan design. Use the calculator as a planning estimate, then confirm the assumptions with the specialist.

About TFI
My job is to find where the money is leaking, bring in the right specialist, and stay on it until it's done.
About 10 years in sales. Most of it spent across the table from owners who were too busy running the business to look at what it was costing them.
I've been consulting full time since January 2024, including a year as an M&A intermediary. That's where you learn how a buyer picks a company apart. Contracts that auto-renewed. Shipping rates nobody revisited. Payroll taxes paid because nobody asked if they had to be.
I'm a Six Sigma Green Belt, so I look at your costs like a process. Find the waste. Measure it. Fix it.
How it works with partners: I review your situation, decide what's worth pursuing, and introduce you to the specialist. The specialist evaluates eligibility, proposes terms, and does the work. I stay involved from first call to finish.
I live in Lenexa with my wife and our two kids. When I'm not working I'm watching the Chiefs, fishing, or out on a trail somewhere.
