Accountants notice it first when spend and value drift apart: a renewal that tracks nothing but CPI, licence costs scaling faster than headcount, a contract whose scope no one has revisited in years. Adeo is the independent technical reference that turns what you have noticed into a number the client can act on.

You see it in the numbers before anyone else — the drift between what a client pays for IT and what the contract says they should be getting. What has been missing is an independent technical reference to make that instinct actionable.
Asking a provider to grade its own value is the conflict an auditor exists to remove. An independent reference gives the client a number that does not depend on the party being assessed.
Adeo takes no commissions, no resale margin, no referral fees — the same professional-ethics posture CPA and CA firms hold themselves to.
The MSP Value & Performance Quick-Scan — in days, ending in a single readable deliverable your client can use in a renegotiation.
Where spend and contract have drifted apart, the deliverable names it, line by line, with evidence: dormant licences, charges that no longer map to scope, third-party margin worth testing against market rates. Exactly the shape an accountant uses in a review.
Full engagement details live on the Services page. Every proposal is written in advance; nothing renews and nothing recurs without your signature.
The answer may well be that the spend is fair and the provider is delivering — the value is that this is now evidenced rather than assumed. On an MSP Value & Performance Quick-Scan of a 40–75-staff client, the deliverable surfaces and quantifies, wherever they exist:
None of this is an attack on the provider. It is a shared, evidenced baseline the client can take into a professional review, or, where the gap turns out to be structural, into a tender.
For firms of six or more partners, Adeo delivers a forty-five-minute CPD-style briefing at the firm’s office: The Essential Eight is evolving — what the ASD’s broader Essentials series means for the businesses your firm advises. No cost, no product pitch. Adeo brings printed one-pagers and a short Q&A.
That limits what we can earn — and that limit is the product: no vendor commission, no referral fee, no resale margin, in either direction. The advice answers to you alone.
