Intelligence
You don't trust the numbers.
Books nobody has reconciled since March, and decisions you keep putting off because the figures in front of you might be wrong.
Pillar Forward Consulting · Vancouver WA / Portland OR
Consulting that leaves you owning the thing we built.
Bookkeeping, restoration estimating, and AI tools you own outright. We fix what's slowing the business down, train your team to run it, and hand it over.
What's costing you?
Three pillars: Intelligence, Revenue, Automation.
Businesses rarely lose money on one big obvious thing. They lose it in three places at once — and each one below is a way in.
Revenue
Estimates take a week to go out.
And when the carrier cuts the scope, it gets absorbed instead of challenged. Both of those are money sitting on the table.
Automation
The same admin job, every single week.
Somebody on your team is doing by hand what a system should be doing, and has been for years.
Three ways in. Take the one that's costing you most.
You don't have to take all three, and they don't have to happen in order. Most people start with whichever one is bleeding right now.
Business Operations
Open nowBookkeeping
Clean books, reconciled every month, and a year-end package your CPA can work from without chasing you for anything.
- Catch-up and clean-up, no judgment
- Payment processor and sales tax reconciliation
- Monthly close, P&L and balance sheet
Estimating & Insurance Negotiation
We write your mitigation and reconstruction estimates in Xactimate, and negotiate them when the carrier cuts the scope. Priced as a percentage, so it only costs you when it earns you.
- Xactimate is our preferred software — we pay for the license, not you
- 3% of written revenue to write the estimate
- 6% of approved revenue to write it and negotiate it
Restoration AI Tools
AI tools and internal systems built for water and fire restoration contractors. One payment, then the build is yours — no subscription and no per-seat license.
- AI builds you pay for once
- Documentation and scope-sheet tools
- Your team trained, then handed the keys
Why Pillar Forward
Build. Train. Hand over.
We don't create dependency. Whichever door you come through, the job ends with your team able to run it without us.
Build
Built around how your company already works, not a template we drop on top of you.
Train
Your people are taught to run it and fix it, while we are still there to ask.
Own
The tool, the accounts, the logins — yours. Nothing switches off if you stop calling us.
Bookkeeping is the only thing we bill monthly. Estimating is a percentage per job, and AI builds are a one-time fee.
Not sure which one you need?
Tell us what's actually costing you.
Books nobody has touched since March, estimates taking a week to get out the door, or the same admin job done by hand every single week — those are three different conversations. Start whichever one fits, and we'll tell you straight if it isn't us.
