IT Spend Audit

Turn IT Spend into a Driver of EBITDA — Not a Source of Cost Overruns

CFOs at PE-backed firms are expected to justify IT spend like any other value creation lever. The challenge, however, is getting IT partners to translate technical choices to financial clarity, predictable spend, and alignment to EBITDA.

The result: IT becomes a line item your sponsor challenges rather than a growth lever you can justify with confidence.

How to Engage

Three Ways to Start. Choose Your Comfort Level.

Unlock EBITDA Growth from Your IT Investments

The Alternative: Board-ready IT spend model

What it is: A 3-year technology spend forecast, built to the portco’s fiscal calendar, mapped to their growth headcount assumptions and revenue targets. Delivered in 30 days. Maintained on a quarterly basis as part of the ongoing MxP™ engagement.

What it includes:

  • IT financial model: What technology actually costs, what it should cost, and what investment is required to hit growth targets, expressed in P&L language, not IT language
  • CapEx-to-OpEx migration analysis: Which legacy investments to retire, when, and what the impact is on the income statement
  • SaaS license audit: On average, recovers $40,000 – $120,000 in year one from unused licenses, presented as a cost recovery the CFO can take to their sponsor before the engagement has paid for itself
  • Vendor contract renewal calendar: Every vendor, every renewal date, 18 months forward — so the CFO is never surprised by an autorenewal or a price increase
  • Quarterly CFO-facing review: Not an IT review, a financial review of the IT estate, presented in the same format as the board pack

The Guarantee

Finally, an IT Partner That Values Your Budget as Much as You Do

Most IT providers leave CFOs guessing. We provide a guarantee designed to deliver complete financial control and predictability:

  • Board-Ready in 30 Days: A completed, signed-off 3-year IT financial model, aligned to your fiscal calendar and ready for board presentation. If it isn’t board-ready by day 30, your first month is on us.
  • Absolute Predictability: No surprises, no unplanned spend. If Synoptek creates a budget event without at least 30 days’ notice, your monthly fee is credited in full.
