What does Shepard Consulting automate for contractors?

We automate accounts payable, accounts receivable, marketing content, timesheets and payroll intake, AI voice and delegation systems, and custom AI assistants — all specifically designed for contractors and trades businesses.

Do I need technical experience to use these automations?

No. We build the systems for you and train your team. Our founder is a licensed general contractor who built these systems for his own businesses — they are designed for operators, not developers.

How is Shepard Consulting different from other AI consultants?

Matt Shepard is an active contractor and real estate investor who builds and uses these automation systems daily in his own businesses. This is not theoretical consulting — these are battle-tested systems from someone who runs the same kind of business you do.

What industries do you serve?

We specialize in trades and construction businesses including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contracting, and property management companies. We also work with real estate investors and operators.

Where is Shepard Consulting located?

Shepard Consulting is based in Broomfield, Colorado in the Denver metro area. We serve clients nationwide.

How much does AI automation consulting cost?

Every business has different needs. We start with a free 30-minute discovery call to understand where you are bleeding time, then provide custom pricing based on the scope of automation needed.
