JH Strategic IT is an independent IT strategy advisory for mid-market business leaders, delivering IT spend visibility, ROI clarity, and board-level governance.
Business leaders call me in when IT produces activity instead of financial clarity. I give CEOs, CFOs, and COOs a clean view of where their technology dollars go, what the business gets back, where waste hides, and how to realign 3 to 7 percent of spend within 14 days. The work is independent, financial, and governance-first.
Stop Defending IT Spend. Start Proving Its ROI.
In 14 days, I uncover where $400K – $8M in strategic reallocation lives without adding a single new system.

14 Day Cost and Risk Audit
Summary
A rapid financial and operational audit that exposes hidden cost leaks, vendor inefficiencies, and risk blind spots before the next board or investor review.
The Problem
Most organizations run their IT environment with blind spots. Costs accumulate in legacy services, unused licenses, unmanaged contracts, and inefficiencies hidden inside vendor agreements. At the same time, risk grows in the background without clear reporting to executives.
What This Service Does
The 14 Day Cost and Risk Audit provides a fast, independent evaluation of your cost structure and risk posture. It shows where performance is failing, where dollars are wasted, and where exposure is highest. It gives executives a clean financial and risk narrative for the next board meeting.
