How an IT Spend Audit Improves Budget Planning and Cost Optimization

Louisville Geek’s IT Spend Audit is designed to help nonprofits and businesses reduce waste, consolidate vendors, and align IT investments with strategic goals.

Many organizations are asking a critical question right now:
“Are we overspending on IT and are we spending it in the right places?”

Louisville Geek recently worked with a local nonprofit to evaluate their IT environment. The result? We uncovered:

Duplicative IT services
Outdated contracts
Redundant software tools
Missed opportunities for consolidation
Thousands of dollars in potential savings

Based on that success, we’re now offering this service as a dedicated IT Spend Audit—an actionable, vendor-neutral review of your organization’s technology budget and infrastructure.

What is an IT Spend Audit?

An IT Spend Audit is a strategic service that gives you visibility into your current IT costs and recommendations for improvement. It’s ideal for organizations that:

Are unsure if their IT budget is optimized
Work with multiple technology vendors
Plan to review contracts or renewals soon
Want to ensure their IT spend supports growth and security

Unlike traditional IT Consultants, our IT Spend Audit is a non-biased, vendor-neutral review. The goal is not to sell you a managed IT services package—it’s to bring clarity and transparency to your current spend.

If improvements are needed, we can certainly recommend solutions or take over services, but the purpose of the audit is to provide you with an objective baseline—so you can make informed decisions, whether that means staying with your current provider or making changes.

What’s Included in an IT Spend Audit?

Louisville Geek will perform a custom review of:

Managed IT service provider (MSP) invoices
Internet and phone service contracts
Software and licensing costs
User counts validation
Opportunities for tool consolidation
Gaps in IT best practices or security protocols

You’ll receive a detailed report with clear next steps, a visual breakdown of your environment, and our expert recommendations.
