About SIB
On September 22, 2020, Cost Control Associates merged with SIB Fixed Cost Reduction. Cost Control Associates has partnered with SIB Fixed Cost Reduction for several years, and the two companies share many similarities. While Cost Control specializes in energy, waste removal and telecom, SIB reduces expenses in dozens of additional spend areas.
Cost Control Associates continues to operate under its own name with the same team of experts that have been saving clients money for years. You get the same level of customer service that distinguishes us from our competitors. By bringing the companies together, we are creating efficiencies for our clients while significantly reducing your overhead costs in more areas of fixed expense. You gain the collective power of two great companies whose mission is to provide great service as we lower your overhead costs and boost your profitability.
SIB has many years of experience analyzing operational costs for a variety of industries and cost categories such as bank fees, commercial insurance and benefits, maintenance contracts, payroll processing, shipping and many more. Similar to Cost Control Associates’ utility cost-cutting program, SIB focuses on analyzing your invoices and finding you the best rates with your current vendors and service levels. They identify billing errors, ensure contract compliance and negotiate best-in-class pricing. SIB operates on a contingency model, only sharing in a portion of the savings they achieve for their clients.
CCA complements these services, helping companies reduce and better manage utility expenses for energy, waste removal, telecom and cellular. Our utility expense management services include utility invoice reviews, utility bill processing and payment, analysis and review of utility data, energy procurement and location open and close services.

“We were looking for a way to reduce unnecessary costs without taking time from our small, busy staff. Cost Control Associates looked at our energy, telecom and cellular invoices. We only had to provide a few bills and hold a few conference calls. Cost Control Associates made the process painless and found significant savings in areas where we had no idea we were over-paying.”
