The total savings of £497,000 in the past 2 years found using VATplus 

No financial risk to Trust with our contingency model

To date, Statement and Duplicates reviews have found savings of more than £54,000

The Challenge

Like many trusts, Alder Hey required solutions to help ease financial pressures, without requiring too much Trust resource. Having not worked with Liaison Financial before, they hoped that their savings solutions could make an impact.

The Solution

Liaison Financial’s VATplus re-review, supplier statement reconciliation and duplicate payments reviews delivered a risk-free solution, which both provided support to Alder Hey’s Finance teams and benefitted the bottom line.

The Outcomes

The VATplus review identified £497,000 in the past 2 years£117k in 2023/24 and £380k in 24/25 – showing how useful it can be to continue the VATplus process.

The Statements & Duplicates review continues, and has to date found savings of more than £54,000; providing a much-needed opportunity to add a total of £551,000, so far, to their CIP plan.

I would recommend Liaison, particularly for VAT re-reviews. The whole process for the VAT reviews is simple and Andy, the VAT manager who completes our reviews, is really thorough and knowledgeable. VAT savings over the past 2 years total £497,000. Process wise, once the data is sent over to Liaison, they go and complete the review, sending their findings once fully completed. There may be some queries arising from their findings, but Andy always responds in a timely manner and provides a full response to quickly resolve.
