The CFO's Guide to Gain-Share Recovery
How to find $1M+ in hidden savings with zero upfront cost and no procurement approval.
Every CFO knows there's money leaking from their AP pipeline. Duplicate payments, pricing discrepancies, missed early-payment discounts, vendor overcharges — the waste is there. The question is whether the cost of finding it exceeds the savings.
That's where gain-share changes the math entirely.
What Is Gain-Share Recovery?
Gain-share is a pricing model where the vendor (inferonIQ) gets paid only from the savings they find. If we scan your invoices and find $2M in recoverable waste, we take 15–30% of the recovered amount. If we find nothing, you pay nothing.
It's the ultimate alignment of incentives: we only succeed when you save money.
Where the Savings Come From
In our experience scanning enterprise AP data, the most common sources of recoverable cash are:
Duplicate Payments
Same invoice paid twice, often across entities or with slight variations in invoice numbers.
Pricing Discrepancies
Invoiced prices that don't match contract terms, volume discounts, or negotiated rates.
Tax Overcharges
Incorrect tax calculations, taxing exempt items, or applying wrong jurisdictions.
Missed Discounts
Early-payment discounts (2/10 net 30) that AP teams miss due to processing delays.
Contract Non-Compliance
Vendors billing outside contract scope, expired rate cards, or unapproved change orders.
Why This Doesn't Require Procurement Approval
Because gain-share has zero upfront cost, it typically falls under the CFO's discretionary authority. There's no PO to issue, no budget line to allocate, and no procurement cycle to wait for. The only cost is a percentage of money you've already lost.
Most CFOs can greenlight a gain-share engagement with a single email.
The Free 48-Hour Scan
We start every engagement with a free scan. We connect read-only to your database or ERP, process up to 50 invoices, and deliver a report showing exactly where the waste lives — with specific dollar amounts and evidence.
The scan is free. The report is yours to keep regardless. If the numbers justify proceeding, we agree on the gain-share percentage and start full recovery.
Typical Outcomes
For a mid-market company processing $50M in annual AP spend, typical recovery is 3–7% of total spend, or $1.5M–$3.5M. At a 20% gain-share rate, the company saves $1.2M–$2.8M net. For enterprise organizations processing $500M+, the numbers scale proportionally.
