What it is
A 13-module course that teaches you how to read commercial electric, gas, water, and telecom bills against the published tariff, document errors, and present findings to the utility. Built for people who want a consulting skill, not a motivational video.
Who it's for in the Chicago area
Bookkeepers, property managers, accountants, operations people, and anyone already talking to businesses who want a defined audit method. No prior utility job required. The program is designed from scratch.
What's included
- 13 lessons + quizzes + certification exam
- 36-month audit workbook
- Spreadsheet templates
- Client outreach templates
- Glossary / tariff resources
- Member forum after certification
Lifetime access. No monthly fee for the course.
How auditors usually get paid
Most work on contingency against recovered overcharges. The site's published examples of very large refunds are outliers and are labeled that way. Many audits find nothing. Typical single-account recoveries discussed on the site are often in the low thousands when something is wrong — not a salary and not a guarantee.
