Second Opinion · MSP Invoice & Contract Audit

Find out what your IT company is actually charging you.

An independent, flat-fee review of your managed-IT invoices and contract — done by someone who spent three years writing invoices like yours from the inside. You'll see exactly where your money goes, which "project" charges your monthly fee already covers, and what to demand at renewal.

48-hour turnaround · If it finds one month of overbilling, it pays for itself.

Why this exists

The monthly fee that quietly covers almost nothing.

Most small businesses on a managed-IT retainer can't fully read their own invoices. That's not an accident — and it's exactly where the money leaks.

What it feels like

You pay a flat monthly fee that's supposed to cover your IT. Then every real fix shows up as a separate billable "project." The invoice is a wall of line items you can't quite decode, the total keeps creeping up, and you have a nagging feeling you're paying twice for the same thing — but no way to prove it.

What this does about it

It puts your invoices and your contract side by side and shows you, line by line, which charges your flat fee already covers, where the rates don't match your own rate card, and where the contract is written to favor the provider. Every finding cites the exact invoice line and the exact contract clause — so it holds up when you raise it.

Who's behind it
"I spent three years inside an MSP. Let me show you what your invoice actually says."

I'm Geele Evans, owner of Borne Systems. For three years I worked as a systems engineer inside a managed service provider — the outsourced IT department small businesses hire. From the inside, I watched good clients get nickel-and-dimed: a flat fee that covered almost nothing, while every actual fix got re-labeled as a billable project. They felt scammed, couldn't read their invoices, and never knew what they were really paying for.

Before that I was a system administrator in the Marine Corps, where I passed annual compliance inspections by working backward from a published standard — the same way this audit reads your invoices backward from your contract.

The headline dollar figure

Your total likely overbilling, stated as a monthly and an annual number, right at the top.

Itemized findings table

Questions

What owners ask before booking.

What exactly do I have to send you?

Three things: your MSP contract or master services agreement, your last six months of invoices, and — if you can export it — a ticket or time log. The first two are required; the third makes the audit sharper. That's it. About ten minutes of gathering.

Will my IT provider find out I did this?

No. This is an independent review for you. Nothing is sent to your provider. You decide what, if anything, to raise with them — and the report gives you a script for exactly that conversation.

What if you don't find anything?

Then you get a clean bill of health in writing — confirmation that your contract and invoices line up, which is worth knowing before you renew. In practice, where there's a flat fee plus hourly "projects," there's almost always something to find. Either way you get a documented answer.

Is this legal or accounting advice?

No. It's an independent billing and contract review. It tells you what your documents say and where they don't match — so you can act, or take it to your attorney or accountant with the homework already done.

Why should I trust the findings?

Because every figure traces to a specific invoice line and a specific clause of your contract — and anything that can't be fully supported is labeled "worth asking about" instead of stated as fact. The report is built to survive your provider pushing back on it.

Stop wondering what your invoice means.

Send six months of invoices and your contract. In 48 hours you'll know exactly what you're paying for — and what to do about it.
