AI Automation for Small Business

Stop Doing $15/Hour Tasks

I help contractors and small business owners automate the busywork — AP, AR, marketing, timesheets — so you can focus on what actually grows your business.

Live in 14 days. Smoothed out by 30. We keep refining until it actually reduces your load — not adds to it. That's the standard. Not the pitch.

The Problem

You Didn't Start a Business to Do Data Entry

Every hour you spend on admin is an hour you're not closing deals, managing jobs, or being present with your family. There's a better way.

You're buried in invoices, manually keying data between systems that should talk to each other.

You're chasing people for timesheets, then re-entering everything into payroll by hand.

Leads fall through the cracks because follow-up is manual and you're already stretched thin.

Your marketing is inconsistent because you don't have time to create content while running jobs.

What I Automate

Systems That Run Without You

These aren't theoretical — I built and run every one of these systems in my own businesses.

01

Accounts Payable

Invoices hit your inbox, AI extracts the data, routes to your accounting system, and confirms receipt with the vendor. Zero manual entry.

02

Accounts Receivable & Follow-ups

Automated email sequences that follow up with leads and clients so nothing falls through the cracks. Your AI assistant handles it.

03

Marketing Content

AI monitors your industry, generates social media posts in your voice, and queues them for approval. Content runs on autopilot.

04

Timesheets & Payroll Intake

Simple forms for field crews including bilingual English and Spanish support, automated reminders, validation against job sites, feeds directly to payroll.

05

AI Voice & Delegation Systems

Train AI on how you communicate so your team can get answers without interrupting you. You stop being the bottleneck.

06

Custom AI Assistants

Your own AI clone that handles common questions, client onboarding, and coaching — available 24/7.

Proof

See It in Action

Real results from real businesses. Not mockups, not demos — production systems processing hundreds of invoices and leads every month.

About

Built by an Operator, Not a Consultant

I'm Matt Shepard — licensed general contractor, real estate investor, and founder of multiple businesses in Colorado. 30 years in the trades — started working alongside my great-grandfather. 15+ years as a licensed GC. I didn't learn AI from a course. I built these systems because I was drowning in the same admin work you are.

Now my invoices process themselves, my marketing runs without me, and my team gets answers without asking me. I run Onsight Construction, manage a real estate portfolio across Colorado and Alabama, and I use every automation I sell — every single day.

I'll show you how to do the same.
