About NW Business Advisors

We help businesses find costs that no longer have a current reason to exist.

NW Business Advisors works with established businesses that want to protect more of the money they already earn. We look for recurring costs that have drifted past their purpose, including payroll practices and vendor agreements.

SIMERP is one of the specialist opportunities we screen for. It may fit an employer looking to add medical care for employees while reducing part of its payroll-tax expense.

An advisor and business leaders review documents together in a working operations space.

01 / Expense reduction

Expense reduction starts with the cost nobody has had a reason to revisit.

An expense can stay on the books because it once solved a real problem. A vendor agreement renews unchanged for years. A payroll process becomes routine, even after the business has changed around it.

NWBA helps you decide which of those costs deserves another look. Some questions belong with the people already advising you. Others call for a specialist with a narrower lens. Our job is to identify the difference before you spend time chasing the wrong answer.

One possible route

SIMERP is one of several ways we help businesses examine expense reduction.

SIMERP is worth considering when the medical care matters to the employer and the workforce fits the arrangement. The first conversation screens for that. When an employer proceeds, we make the introduction; the specialist team carries the program and formal savings analysis from there.

The program's technical and regulated advice stays with the specialist team and your appropriate advisors. We help you see whether a specialist conversation is worth having. If an employer moves forward after a SIMERP introduction, NW Business Advisors may receive referral compensation from the program provider.

David Baer has worked across industries where old decisions can keep costing money.

David has worked with wineries and manufacturing companies, plus senior-service organizations and professional-service firms. In each, costs, contracts, and processes can continue because they have become part of how the business runs, not because someone recently decided they still belong.

As founder of NW Business Advisors, David helps owners and leadership teams decide which questions deserve attention before a recurring cost gets another automatic renewal or a business assumes the only answer is to sell more.
